Aguirre thought he had an ironhanded control over the sheep situation.

"M" is mainly
« Reply #19012 on: February 15, 2009, 01:55:29 am »
Screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana faithfully retain the tone and the particulars of Annie Proulx's short story, elaborating mainly in the areas of the separate family lives Jack and Ennis pursue while apart.

"O" is openhandedness

Ennis rejected Jack's openhandedness for his offer of a loan because he didn't want Jack to gain the upper hand.

The BBM posthemorrhagic caper:  Jack stole Ennis's shirt some time after the nosebleed incident, but when?

Sorry, I know it's silly; I plead too much sun.
Back to chilly Boston--that's a 40-50 degree swing!

"I was attracted to climbing a mountain, doing something I hadn't done before. I knew that if I could accomplish this story and represent this style of love, this form of love, then I would come out of this movie with a real sense of accomplishment which I've felt I've lacked in the past. And with other films, I come out going, 'Yeah, well, okay, you know, I did it.' But this was really gonna test me. And I'd have to, in order to play him, I'd have to present him in a more mature performance. And I would have to mature as a person."

-- Heath Ledger

The four-year reunion helped to rebuild and strengthen the bond between Ennis and Jack.

"T" is truncating
« Reply #19017 on: February 16, 2009, 02:13:38 am »
When Aguirre reappeared to tell Jack his uncle didn't die after all, he also ordered that the sheep be brought down, thus truncating the boys' summer idyll.

As evidenced by his dumbass missin', Jack was unhandy with a gun.

"W" is well-cast
« Reply #19019 on: February 16, 2009, 12:20:12 pm »
In Ang Lee's well-cast Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal performed admirably in the roles of Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist.

Thank you!
