The two mules took off through the trees and the undergrowth, tearing the supply packs off.

LaShawn is known as such a lively little gal because of her vivacity.

Ang Lee used a number of things to show the aging of our boys in the movie. Two months of filming had to portray twenty years of living.
Fake hair and sideburns were used for Jack and Ennis.
A moustache and weight gain also "aged" Jack.

Jack's increased weight showed at his waist.

=comment=
Jack's "weight gain" was probably polyester, acrylic and cotton, with a very low carbohydrate content.
I can keep explaining all night.

At Thanxgiving, Alma became a Xanthippe, a shrewish, ill-tempered woman.

=appreciation= Lee
Thanx, Front Ranger. I, for one of us Brokies, couldn't quite put my left index finger on what Alma fully was. I mean, I knew "fag-hag". Now I know what else! Being mayor here at the "ABCs" is definitely not boring; that's over at....

While still a youth, Ennis was pitched directly into ranch work.

Yeeeee-horrrrrrrre!

Round 75!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=aside=
The word "Round" no longer fits in the subject line w/ all of the (75) "!"s. Henceforth, let's just simply denote all of our "ABCs Rounds" with 25 "!"s. That surely 'signals' the point!

Yes, believe it or not, "A" is for an anchor! No, Jack was never a sailor! In Jack's childhood bedroom, there is an anchor on the wall as part of a little lamp. U see it when Ennis goes up to Jack's room. The anchor swarmed with ropes appears to be formed from the bottom of a cross. It may be the symbol for a Christian denomination with the cross/anchor combo? Anyweigh, anchor away!

Jack dreamed of the chance to be a real rodeo star, with lots of belt buckles, and enough money to keep him independent.
