Jack and Ennis's dozy embrace was a flashback to happier times of yesteryear.

"Z" is zoetropic
« Reply #1571 on: May 09, 2006, 03:16:35 pm »
Our uber-BBM scholar Casey Cornelius pointed out the zoetropic effects that occur twice in the film, first when a train goes by, blocking our view, and second, when Ennis is riding through the woods before he meets a bear. A zoetrope predates movies and has a spinning chamber. You look through the holes to see images on the inside that seem to be moving.

=compliment=
An impressive "Z", Lee!

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

On their way to the condiments aisle, Ennis and the girls passed by a display of bananas.

"E" is evidence
« Reply #1577 on: May 09, 2006, 04:43:20 pm »
Ennis has no evidence that Jack was murdered, but he is very suspicious that foul play was involved in his death.


=question=
Should Ennis contact CSI Brokeback?  Or would that be CSI Childress (scene of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre)?

The Forest Service dictated where the sheep could be pastured for the summer.
