"U" is unbearable

After their four-year reunion, Ennis and Jack would find any future separations unbearable, each wondering of the other "when will I see you again", but with Ennis unwilling to admit or accept it.

"W" is wrestles

When Ennis wrestles with the meaning of the returned postcard, he picks up the telephone to call Childress.

"A" is acutely

"There's neither coyness nor self-importance in Brokeback Mountain -- just close, compassionate observation, deeply committed performances, a bone-deep feeling for hardscrabble Western lives. Few films have captured so acutely the desolation of frustrated, repressed passion."

"B" is behaving

Jack was smitten with Ennis almost the minute he saw him and started behaving like a teenager in love.

"C" is clamor

The fact that racism exists should go without saying, and yet “Crash” wastes an entire film trying to prove what we already know is true. The movie beat out “Brokeback Mountain” for a surprise best picture win at the Oscars. It’s no surprise, really, given all the clamor about our “post-racial” society, while the gay rights movement is still suffering setback after setback.

"D" is dailiness
« Reply #21276 on: July 23, 2010, 11:41:12 am »
"This is the movie's power -- the ability to make you feel the weight of two decades of desire and guilt, loneliness and recrimination. Ennis and Jack want the sex, but even more, they want the relationship, the dailiness of romantic partnership. Jack dreams of how it could be. Ennis won't let himself go there; he knows how two ranchers, living together, would play out in the West. 'If you can’t fix it, you got to stand it,' Ennis says, and you have to admire the rugged cowboy wisdom that makes him affirm a miserable reality instead of embracing a deadly dream."

Hungover Ennis was enervated the morning after TS1.

"F" is fallible

Realizing how fragile and fallible they could be, Jack said to Ennis in TS2, "It's all right, it's all right."

"G" is Gibson's

Heath Ledger reportedly chose not to follow Mel Gibson's advice against taking the Brokeback Mountain leading role of Ennis del Mar, a sheep herder who falls in love with a fellow sheep herder.
