"A" is attack
« Reply #5471 on: August 02, 2006, 10:37:52 am »
Jack was shocked when Ennis told him of the attack on Earl,
and when he told him that his father showed him the mutilated dead "tough old bird", Jack said:
     "You seen that?"    [short story]
     Jack (white) You seen that?   [screenplay]
     You seen this?   [movie]

Ennis: "Hell, for all I know he done the job. If he was alive and was to put his head in that door right now you bet he'd go get his tire iron."    [short story]

"Jack found himself with a vague managerial title, traveling to stock and agricultural machinery shows.  He had some money now and found ways to spend it on his buying trips."  [short story]

Most people agree that Jack says to Ennis, "c'mere" during Tent Scene 2, and also during the Last Tussle.

"D" is depth

“Brokeback Mountain” conveys the depth of the tragedy that engulfs whole families when someone is forced to deny who they are.

"E" is Employment
« Reply #5475 on: August 02, 2006, 11:08:42 am »
"Both Jack and Ennis claimed to be saving money for a small spread; in Ennis's case that meant a tobacco can with two five-dollar bills inside.  That summer, hungry for any job, each had signed up with Farm and Ranch Employment."  [short story]

Jack would grouse about spending the night with the sheep.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

A description of Juarez:  "Tourist families and locals intermingle on the streets and sidewalks.  A family poses for a picture with a donkey wearing a sombrero." [screenplay]
