Ennis's shortcomings as a provider were grist for Alma's case for divorce.

"H" is heart

"Brokeback Mountain exudes atmosphere; it could well be considered to be the third lead in the film.  That atmosphere is captured by two extraordinary designers:  cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (Frida, 21 Grams), whose Ansel Adams-influenced backgrounds are the best travel brochure Wyoming ever had, and composer Gustavo Santaolalla (The Motorcycle Diaries), whose plaintive guitar settings are the musical equivalent of hearing a heart break."
-- Gabriel Shanks, Mixed Reviews [review]

"I" is insinuating
« Reply #7122 on: September 06, 2006, 11:31:07 am »
When Ennis said: "You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity", he
was insinuating that he was a virgin.

Ennis helped Jack start his jerry-built pickup.

Movie poster spoofs featuring every male couple from cartoon hero He-Man and foe Skeletor (Grayskull Mountain) to lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Rep. Tom DeLay (in Kickback Mountain) litter the Internet.

"M" is missed

In spite of all their "fishing trips", Ennis missed the boat on having a happy life together with Jack.

I will very much miss my Toast with my coffee in the mornings.

Compared to Ennis, Jack tended to be more needy and vulnerable.

"O" is outing
« Reply #7128 on: September 06, 2006, 12:29:23 pm »
Ennis's little family enjoyed an outing to the Independence Day fireworks, until Ennis got all wigged out by a couple of bikers. Later, Ennis endured a very uncomfortable outing by Alma, and then wigged out in front of a biker bar.

"P" is project
« Reply #7129 on: September 06, 2006, 12:32:45 pm »
From a review of the BBM DVD:

"A US TV special 'Sharing The Story' serves as the customary 'Making Of' featurette.  It traces the roots of the project back to the time when, as Schamus describes, 'It was known as the greatest unproducable screenplay ever written.'  There's also a smattering of behind-the-scenes footage as the film finally goes before the cameras."
