Lureen's hairdo resembled that of well-known actress Farrah Fawcett.

One can't help but be awed by Rodrigo's stunning cinematography.

=aside= Fran and Sandy
Although "awed" came to mind right away, those lists are wonderful!

After years of bottling up her pain and resentment, Alma finally divorced Ennis and wed Monroe, the Riverton grocer.

After Jack and Ennis renewed their relationship, Jack talked about his idea of a little cow and calf operation until the cows came home, but Ennis cowered at the idea.

"E" is endowed

When Jack received Ennis's message about the divorce, he endowed it with more meaning than Ennis intended.

"F" is flawed

Further than this, Brokeback Mountain is the story of how most of our lives, gay and straight, are defined by one moment in which things go gloriously and naturally right, when everything falls into place, but which is then infected by the bacilli of wrongness. Ennis and Jack, flawed as they are, do their best to resist the encroachment of that infection; they fight not just against bigotry, but dullness and mediocrity. Their story is not tragic, but heroic.

Jack guffawed in response to Ennis's casting of aspersions on his harmonica.

"H" is hunched

Noy Thrupkaew reviewed Brokeback Mountain  in The American Prospect, praising  Heath Ledger's portrayal of Ennis: 

Ledger gives an unnerving and wholly heartbreaking performance, his Hollywood good looks suddenly drawn in, shoulders hunched, hooded eyes gazing over the hills. Ennis has a rich vocabulary of grunts and little else. When he does speak, his words reveal a tormented tenderness, in sharp contrast to the garrulous, breezy charm of Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist.
