"A" is aphorism
« Reply #7141 on: September 06, 2006, 03:25:28 pm »
Ennis' statement "You ain't got nothin', don't need nothin' " was his aphorism on his state of relative poverty.

"B" is butterflies

"Their chemistry is thick and natural, leaving the audience with a persistent case of the butterflies."
The Stanford Daily's keen observation on the two BBM leads is included in this review.

"C" is corners

"They were raised on small, poor ranches in opposite corners of the state, Jack Twist in Lightning Flat up on the Montana border, Ennis del Mar from around Sage, near the Utah line, both high school dropout country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, both rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life."  [story]

The boys were deliriously happy to see each other at the reunion stairs.

"E" is edition
« Reply #7145 on: September 06, 2006, 03:36:50 pm »
"Annie actually wrote a note in the limited edition of the story she gave me saying that the name of my character Jack Twist actually refers to the strength a rodeo rider must have in his legs to hold on to a bull, and that it is symbolic of the strength you need to hold on to something you truly believe in that makes you feel alive."
From a Gyllenhaal and Lee interview, here

Ennis woke up in the pup tent one frosty August morning to find that it had snowed during the night.

"The stale coffee is boiling up, but he catches it before it goes over the side, pours it into a stained cop and blows on the black liquid, lets a panel of the dream slide forward."  [story]

"H" is holster
« Reply #7148 on: September 06, 2006, 03:50:38 pm »
Well I get into a card game in a company town
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw

(From Steve Earle's "Devil's Right Hand" lyrics, as favoured by certain Riverton waitresses)

To Ennis, the sweet life together with Jack was inconceivable.
