"I" is insolvable

Ennis felt Jack's demands on his time and attention were insolvable issues.

Jack took to lassoing Ennis on their last day on the mountain.

"M" is Movied
« Reply #18952 on: February 05, 2009, 10:34:41 pm »
"Usually I deal in obedient characters who do what they are told, but Jack and Ennis soon seemed more vivid than many of the flesh-and-blood people around me and there emerged an antiphonal back-and-forth relationship between writer and character. I've heard other writers mention this experience but it was the first time for me."

"N" is nettlesome

Ennis became very annoyed at Alma's nettlesome questions about his fishing trips with "Jack Nasty."

"O" is oversophisticated

Lashawn felt she was oversophisticated for "a pokey little place like Childress".

"P" is purity
« Reply #18955 on: February 06, 2009, 10:54:20 am »
"Some are certain to champion Brokeback Mountain  as a political landmark film due to the seriousness and purity of its same-sex love and the fact that two recognizable 'A-list' actors are cast in the leads. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger are no John Waynes, but that's a good thing for this project. Gyllenhaal and Ledger demonstrate that they can act!"

"R" is resort

Because Jack couldn't "make it on a couple of high altitude f*cks once or twice a year", he had to resort to going to the seedy alleys of Juarez.

"T" is threats
« Reply #18958 on: February 07, 2009, 11:53:18 am »
"Peering down through the years at the power of that Brokeback Mountain summer on the lives of Ennis and Jack, Lee delivers a virtually forensic vision of desire, denial and emotional cost. The depth of Ennis and Jack's attachment to one another gives their lives meaning and drains all other meaning out of them, rendering the men both enriched and destitute emotionally. If Brokeback Mountain  never shies away from the sexual truth of that attachment, it doesn't settle for the merely explicit either. It's a great love story, pure and simple. And simultaneously the story of a great love that's broken and warped in the torture chamber of a society's intolerance and threats, an individual's fear and repression."

"U" is unreasonable

Jack thought Aguirre was being unreasonable when he told him pitch a pup tent and sleep with the sheep on the q.t.
