Cassie's bar appears to be one of Ennis's favorite hangouts.

"I" is imaginings

Around the time that Ennis pinned up the postcard of Brokeback Mountain in his trailer, Jack became part of his nighttime imaginings.

"L" is luster

Ang Lee's vision and complete control over what could have been a train wreck is so vividly apparent in every drop of this film's seemingly indestructible luster. He needs to be complemented not only as a director of great skill and vision, but also of insurmountable fortitude to bring to screen what cinema is ready for, but also what many, unfortunately in the audience have yet to embrace.

"M" is malleable

Pa del Mar wanted to make a deep impression on the malleable minds of his young boys by showing them Earl's corpse, and in Ennis's case he succeeded all too well.

Ennis's parents were killed when they overshot the only curve on Dead Horse Road.

"P" is pranks

When it came to being outed as a homosexual, Ennis was worried more about being murdered than about being the victim of pranks.

Ennis's life turned upside down when Jack reappeared four years later.

"S" is spurge
« Reply #21428 on: November 06, 2010, 05:15:22 pm »
The road to Lightning Flat went through desolate country past a dozen abandoned ranches distributed over the plain at eight- and ten-mile intervals, houses sitting blank-eyed in the weeds, corral fences down.  The mailbox read John C. Twist.  The ranch was a meagre little place, leafy spurge taking over.  The stock was too far distant for him to see their condition, only that they were black baldies.
