rey clouds, rain, mosquitos and Joe Aguirres insults. All harmonising with their gloomy mood as the sheep were being counted in the enclosure.

oing on, but not yet, 20; both Jack and Ennis were poor, undereducated and hard-working men.

"I" is incarnation

olden Globe-winning screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, who never lost faith in the power of Annie Proulx's story or in their screenplay in the eight years it took to get their film made, weren't certain in what incarnation Brokeback Mountain would reach the screen, but they were "fairly certain it would be an independent film with a modest budget."

"L" is lumbered

etting the hell out of Dodge was the only thing on Ennis's mules' minds as they lumbered off into the woods to avoid the bear who had just bawled at them.

hastly murdered, or killed by accident? How Jack died is only one of several mysteries in Brokeback Mountain.

oofy Mel Gibson reportedly felt that Heath Ledger would be greatly narrowing his career opportunities by taking on the role of Ennis del Mar in Brokeback Mountain.

"O" is omissions
« Reply #22148 on: September 24, 2011, 11:53:20 am »
olden Globe-winning screenwriter Diana Ossana, when asked about ommissions from the short story to the screnplay, replied, "Any omissions from the short story to the screenplay were dramatic choices. Most of what is in the short story is contained within the finished screenplay, although when we actually scripted the short story, it only amounted to about a third of the final script. We had to imagine and create the scenes that we added or fleshed out, meaning, essentially, that we had to create two-thirds of the screenplay from our imaginations."

oing into problem-solving mode in reply to Jack's "What're we supposed to do now?," Ennis replied: "Get on in there...untangle them Chilean sheep from ours, I guess."
