"U" is uneventful
« Reply #21370 on: October 18, 2010, 01:11:42 am »
Suitably boring is Ennis’ wife Alma, played rather succinctly by Ledger’s real-life sweetheart Michelle Williams. The performance gives us another level of understanding when Ennis flees away to the mountains with Jack as his "real" life becomes a slow, uneventful process lacking any real passion or excitement. Alma’s distress and shock at the knowledge of her predicament plays well through pained eyes.

"W" is whiffy

Poor Jack had a sensitive nose:  he found both the zapped sheep and the pup tent to be more than a bit whiffy.

Jack was a rule breaker/bender while Ennis tended to adhere to the rules.

"B" is bravura
« Reply #21374 on: October 18, 2010, 09:57:41 pm »
A moving, measured, humane love story -- and only incidentally a gay one -- "Brokeback Mountain" derives its considerable emotional charge from its eye for details, from its laconic dialogue, from its careful dosing of small but devastating revelations, and from the bravura performances elicited by Lee from his cast – including a revelatory Heath Ledger.

Jack carelessly brushes cigarette ash off of his jacket while at the Benefit Dance.

Ennis's coworker, Timmy, jokes about himself being dense, but having a strong back.

"E" is eliciting

Ennis commented that the harmonica didn't sound right, eliciting Jack's explanation about being thrown by his mare.

"F" is folksy

But the real acting honors go to Ledger. His character is much more laconic, self-contained and folksy in the McMurtry tradition, yet he communicates an inner pathos that's uniquely, profoundly touching. It's the year's most haunting and unforgettable performance.

"G" is globules

Ennis wiped away globules of sweat from his brow as he tried to ignore Timmy's motor-mouth ramblings about his bad back.
