The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

At the Motel Siesta Ennis talked about making what many would consider the unwisest decision of his life:

"Took me about a year a figure out it was that I shouldn't a let you out a my sights.  Too late then by a long, long while."

One of Ennis's wisest decisions was to answer Jack's postcard.

Ennis became angrier and angrier when Alma confronted him about his "fishing trips" with Jack Nasty.

One of your greater round announcements.

"Brokeback may be too polished for some people, too elegantly dispassionate in its study of choked passion. Its final image insists rather bluntly on the closets we build for ourselves. The movie sticks with you, though, as does its belief that love is more important than gender or culture or anything -- that it's important enough to be treasured in secret if necessary. Lee stays true to the cowboy stoicism of Proulx's final lines: 'Nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.' That's the tragedy here, and the strength."

Ennis discovered that it was chillier outside the tent, compared to inside.

The night of TS1 Ennis kept getting drunker until it was too late to go back to the sheep

Ennis was surprised to discover in Jack's bedroom closet Jack's old shirt from his Brokeback days, a shirt which still had Ennis's own blood encrusted on one of its sleeves.  He was even more surprised to discover that his old plaid shirt was hidden inside Jack's shirt, "the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one."

Both Jack and Ennis felt freer on Brokeback Mountain than anywhere else.

Every time Jack had to eat beans he would get grumpier.
