The weatherperson that Aguirre listened to caused him to cut short Ennis and Jack's summer on BBM

"A" is aggressor

Lureen took on the role of aggressor when she started calling the shots by asking Jack for a "matin' call", and then telling him she had to call it a day by midnight.

"B" is Bud-drinking

Annie Proulx's response to the question:  "Do you think straight men will watch this movie?"

"They are watching this movie. Of course, why wouldn't they watch it? Straight men fall in love. Not necessarily with each other or with a gay man. My son-in-law, who prides himself on being a Bud-drinking, NRA-member redneck, liked the movie so much, he went to it twice. Straight men are seeing it, and they're not having any problem with it. The only people who would have problems with it are people who are very insecure about themselves and their own sexuality and who would be putting up a defense, and that's usually young men who haven't figured things out yet. Jack and Ennis would probably have trouble with this movie."

The jeans Ennis found in Jack's closet were creasy from Ma Twist's ironing.

"D" is dissonance

Ennis experienced cognitive dissonance due to his sense of need to maintain his family position while at the same time wishing he was with Jack.

"E" is episodic

"[Ang] Lee stages the picture with an enraptured tranquillity that lets each emotion shine through. At times, it's a bit too tranquil, especially in the episodic second half, but when Brokeback Mountain takes off, it soars."

"F" is folk
« Reply #18947 on: February 05, 2009, 06:49:14 pm »
He Was a Friend of Mine is a traditional folk song in which the singer laments the death of a friend.

It has been recorded by Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Dave Van Ronk, Bobby Bare, Mercury Rev, The Mitchell Trio, Willie Nelson, Nanci Griffith and Cat Power. The version recorded by Willie Nelson was used in the film Brokeback Mountain and is credited to Dylan, who arranged an early version of the tune in 1962 (available on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991).

The reunion kiss was a gladsome sight, but not for Alma.

Jack hatches a plan for Ennis and him to live together:

"What if you and me had a little ranch somewhere, a little cow-and-calf operation...."
