"W" is withstand

Luckily for Jack and Ennis, the big tent was sturdy enough to withstand the effects of the hailstorm.

Because Ennis was too drunk to go back to the sheep, he decided to bunk down by the fire at the campsite.

"C' is crease-ironed

In the closet hung two pairs of jeans crease-ironed and folded neatly over wire hangers, on the floor a pair of worn packer boots he thought he remembered.

"E" is echt

Serving the spare, economic style of Annie Proulx's story in his making of Brokeback Mountain was echt Ang Lee.

Three- or four-year-old Jack had had trouble with the seat and the height of the toilet and "often as not left the surroundings sprinkled down."

"G" is gimmick
« Reply #18828 on: January 21, 2009, 09:00:59 pm »
The love story depicted in Brokeback Mountain is as traditional as that depicted in Casablanca, Romeo & Juliet, or Gone with the Wind, but instead of war, family rivalry, or the general bitchiness of one of the characters getting in the way, societal prejudice is the culprit. This is not to say that the film explicitly attempts to make some sort of statement about gay rights or social injustice. If anything, the film’s unswerving focus on the relationship, treating it with the same narrative respect reserved for Rhett and Scarlett or Harry and Sally, is a statement in and of itself. That Lee, Ledger, and everyone else involved are in top form elevates this film from mere gimmick to a work of universal substance, earning its heartbreak every step of the way.
