"H" is hush

When Jack questioned whether Alma and he had much of a life together, Ennis made him hush up with "You shut up about Alma.  This ain't her fault."

"L" is lens

"Cooke S4/i lenses have been the lens of choice for a number of major film releases, from very visually motivated films like Brokeback Mountain and Oh Brother Where Art Thou to blockbusters like Casino Royale, Harry Potter, Live Free or Die Hard and Iron Man."

"M" is Metheny

Annie Proulx said that the most difficult scene to write was that of Ennis holding Jack and rocking him back and forth, "humming, the moment mixed with childhood loss and his refusal to admit he was holding a man." She was greatly influenced by the music 'Spiritual' by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny from the album Beyond The Missouri Sky and listened to it countless times in order to get the words right.

Rather than get sad, Ennis got nauseated at parting with Jack.

Feeling that they must obey societal norms, Ennis and Jack marry women and have children.

After years of being a pushover, Alma finally got up the courage to divorce Ennis and marry Monroe, the village grocer.

Ennis tried to fool Alma with the ruse of going on fishing trips with Jack.

The string of spare horses included a mouse-colored grullo whose looks Ennis liked.

Ennis, furious after his Thanksgiving fight with Alma, bolted from the house, picked a fight with a roughneck and got brutally beaten about the face and trunk.
