After Jack showed up for their four-year reunion, he and Ennis start to meet infrequently for what they called "fishing trips."

"M" is mowed

Ennis and Jack are doomed to have no youth or to have only the epiphany of youth, hugged to their bosoms like a premonition of death.

Everyone should see this gay Western, which makes a mockery of that description.

It glamorises nothing. It serves no cause. It is a stark and sad film from a great director with two superb performances, and a slow and encompassing sense of the sap and sorrow of life. It creates a truer image of things than you expect to see these days. It's a story about little people, ordinary people, who are mowed down like grass by the thing that makes them individuals and are not less heroic or less tragic for the choices they make.

Jack and Ennis chewed and swallowed several vegetables from the nightshade family, including potatoes and tomatoes.

"O" is octaves

Sitting by the campfire, Jack and Ennis "mangled their way through some songs;" Jack bellowed a Carl Perkins song and Ennis, a few octaves lower, lent his "good raspy voice" to "Strawberry Roan."

Sitting by the campfire, Jack and Ennis "mangled their way through some songs;" Jack bellowed a Carl Perkins song "but he favored a sad hymn, Water Walking Jesus, learned from his mother, who believed in the Pentecost, and that he sang at dirge slowness, setting off distant coyote yips."

With his acclaimed performance as introverted, tight-lipped Ennis del Mar, Heath Ledger showed the world the depth of his acting talent.

"U" is unwedded

Ennis was initially not wedded to the idea that his unwedded daughter would soon wed.
