"C" is co-writer
« Reply #6530 on: August 24, 2006, 01:19:26 pm »
While creating the screenplay for "Brokeback Mountain", Larry McMurtry turned out five typewritten pages per day and passed them on to his co-writer Diana Ossana for her consideration.  Most of Annie Proulx'x words survived the screenplay creation process.

"E" is evolution

"The years whiz by in the film’s middle, signaling that nothing will be as special, or as holy, as the idyllic first days of their romance.  We see the evolution of their lives — the comings and goings of girlfriends, marriages, children, and facial hair — but we don’t see what becomes of the physical expression of their love."

The boys would sit by the fire, usually saying little, staring intently into the flames.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"G" is genuine

 But in choosing to live his life from a script written by someone else, Ennis is false to himself, to his wife and his children, and most of all to the man who loves him fully, the only person for whom Ennis feels genuine passion.    From Brokeback Mountain to Walden Pond

XXX - acrimonious

Paul (Southendmd), "acrimonious" was played back in Round 129 by Tim (ProwlAmongUs).

A replacement "A" word is needed.

"A" is adumbration
« Reply #6536 on: August 24, 2006, 01:59:40 pm »
The furtive glances Jack and Ennis gave one another outside Aguirre’s office were an adumbration of what was to follow between them.

The Twist homestead was bleak indeed.

"I" is impulsive
« Reply #6538 on: August 24, 2006, 02:42:14 pm »
"As an actor, Ledger has a great understanding for Ennis, and the widespread praise he has enjoyed is merited.  But the margin of excellence between his performance and Gyllenhaal’s is narrow.  Jack is the more outgoing and impulsive of the two, but his hurt cuts just as deep."

Outside of Aguirre's trailer were many junked pickup trucks.
