"H" is harvest

Rhythmically, the film takes its cue from the slow rhythms of life around these parts:  the passing of the seasons, harvest and planting, the time to take the herds up the mountain and the time to bring them down. One is reminded, at times, of Terence Malick's Days Of Heaven -- another nature-soaked film which takes its time, and forces the audience to do the same.

Ennis replied to Alma's concern for his solitude with the ill-chosen words, "once burned".

"L" is landlubber

Alma realized that Ennis never went fishing on his "fishing trips" and was, in fact, a landlubber.

Ennis wondered whether his own father was one of Earl's murderers.

"O" is occular

After seeing Jack and Ennis in their "reunion" embrace, Alma had occular proof that they were more than "fishin' buddies."

"P" is perishes

"One bone-chilling night, Ennis and Jack share a tent together and end up sharing much more in an eye-opening love scene. The unspoken tryst between the two marks the beginning of a complex bond, a relationship that spans decades and perishes with heartbreaking finality."

Laundry day on Brokeback found Jack, starkers except for his boots, pounding the heck out of one of Ennis's shirts.

"T" is toughened

After years of verbal abuse from L.D., Jack (and possibly the turkey) toughened up during Thanksgiving.
