"A" is amorous

Ennis and Jack had far too few amorous encounters after their first meeting.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"B" is bluebirds

Lureen on the phone to Ennis: "But knowing Jack, it might be some pretend place where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring."

"C" is choice

If the lettering on the exterior of the building is to be believed, fresh fruit and choice meats are available at Monroe's grocery store.

Well, we know that Monroe's store had jars of choice peanuts!

During the 4th of July fireworks, Ennis got his dander up over the bikers and their crude language.

"E" is eclipsed

Although Jack and Ennis loved each other, their love was eclipsed by their inability to take the leap to start a life together.

"F" is four-lane

Ennis drove solo on a four-lane highway to Lightning Flat to see Jack's parents -- something that Jack's wife never did, nor did Jack ever take her there.

"G" is Guadalupe
« Reply #1606 on: May 10, 2006, 12:02:58 am »
Even more fine print from Jack's initial postcard to Ennis:

The Guadalupe Mountains end in the promontory of El Capitan, called locally the Point of Mountain.

"H" is horrendous

Many who view it see Brokeback Mountain as a horrendous tragedy, while others feel it is the consummate love story.

"I" is immoral

Some people (closed-minded morons, actually) find our movie immoral.

In America sex is an obsession.  In other parts of the world it is a fact.

"J" is jerked

Proulx wrote, quoting Ennis:

"You and me can't hardly be decent together if what happened back there" -- he jerked his head in the direction of the apartment -- "grabs on us like that. We do that in the wrong place, we'll be dead...."
