Seeing Ennis and Jack cavorting after breakfast causes Joe Aguirre to xtrapolate that the sheep are minus one babysitter.

ROUND 387!!



Music
has charms to soothe the savage breast
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak

"A" is audible

In contrast to the majestic visuals of Brokeback Mountain, the audible portion of the film is minimal but masterly.

"C" is chord
« Reply #10604 on: January 28, 2007, 02:38:25 pm »
The opening music of Brokeback Mountain starts with a plaintive cry on the guitar that is repeated, developed, then resolved with a firm, resonating chord.

Signal Wyoming, early summer day 1964:
Jack drives through town in his truck, which rattles and sputters louder than ever.  Drums his fingers on the steering wheel in time to "Faded Love" by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, which blares from his fuzzy radio. Eyes the sidewalks and dilapidated storefronts, as if looking for someone:  Ennis.     [2003 screenplay]

"F" is full-throated

Jack delivered a full-throated rendition of "Water-Walkin' Jesus" that was answered by distant coyotes.

Ennis used the coffee pot and a stick to replicate the clang of a gong.

Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a llittle in the sparklight, and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity....
