'Brokeback Mountain' gallops to head of Oscars race

by Marc Lavine

LOS ANGELES, Jan 22, 2006 (AFP) - Gay cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" has left its competition in the dust, surging to the front of the Oscars race just as voters cast their ballots for next week's Academy Awards nominations.

Taiwanese director Ang Lee's story of forbidden macho love in 1960s Wyoming got a huge boost by reining in four Golden Globe Awards, Hollywood's second-highest plaudits, just five days before polls were to close ahead of the January 31 unveiling of nominees for the 78th annual Oscars.

"A" is anxious
« Reply #19903 on: June 04, 2009, 10:05:01 pm »
Ennis became very anxious when Jack came to visit, thinking "everybody knows", after Jack said he asked all over town about him.

"B" is bashers

Ennis phones Lureen to find out about Jack, and while she is telling him about the accident, he imagines Jack being murdered by gay bashers.

"C" is celebrant

Taking his role as celebrant of the marriage of Ennis and Alma a bit too far, the jolly minister told Ennis to kiss his bride, adding: "And if you don't, I will!"

"D" is destroyed
« Reply #19906 on: June 04, 2009, 11:43:48 pm »
Brokeback Mountain by Taiwanese-born, American-educated director Ang Lee follows the relationship of two young men who forge an intense connection that spans 20 years. It is a liaison ultimately destroyed by social taboos, bound up with the locale and the historical period.

"E" is exquisite
« Reply #19907 on: June 04, 2009, 11:59:19 pm »
"[Ang] Lee and company handle the particulars of the tale with the requisite meticulousness and exquisite taste that marks all the director’s films. But, as Lee showed in The Ice Storm, for him discretion does not equal evasion. There’s no wiggle room as far as the situation Gyllenhaal’s Jack Twist and Ledger’s Ennis Del Mar find themselves in --  they are lovers, not two guys who got a little chilly on a long Rocky Mountain evening."

"F" is funky

The thought that people on the street were able to sense his tainted love for Jack made Ennis get all funky.

Def: panicky, frightened

Ennis entered the tent holding his hat with his rough hands and grimy fingernails.
