"I" is icicles

Ennis didn't know about the accident for months;  when he got the postcard, he called, and Lureen's little Texas voice came slip-siding down the wire, cold as icicles.

"L" is long-range

When Ennis and Jack left Brokeback, they had no long-range plans to see each other; little did they know they would meet up in four years.

"N" is nanoseconds

A couple of nanoseconds was all the time it took for Ennis to feel the shock of the word "DECEASED" on the returned postcard.

"O" is one-nighter

The following day after TS1, Ennis dismissed what had happened as a one-nighter.

After four long years, the sight of Jack had Ennis pouncing down the stairs.

"S" is surroundings
« Reply #18717 on: January 02, 2009, 07:32:07 pm »
Throughout, "Brokeback Mountain" unfolds with the inevitability of the changing seasons, taking its time to develop its characters -- and their fateful connection. Lee and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto ("Amores Perros," "21 Grams") use the movie's stark surroundings to reflect Jack and Ennis' rocky relationship. As a consequence, "Brokeback Mountain" reveals its laconic characters and their conflicts through action -- and attitude --more than through the terse, tangy dialogue, much of it lifted directly from Proulx's story.

"U" is unproduced
« Reply #18719 on: January 03, 2009, 06:24:51 pm »
"For years, Brokeback  was known in Hollywood as one of the 'great unproduced' screenplays. Producers were simply afraid of its subject and strong emotions, which may explain why it took eight years for the story to reach the big screen."
