"F" is full-throttle

"Ennis ran full-throttle on all roads whether fence mending or money spending, and he wanted none of it when Jack seized his left hand and brought it to his erect cock."  [story]

Jack travelled a lot of geographical distance to get to his fishing expeditions.

"H" is hypocritically
« Reply #7712 on: October 12, 2006, 12:27:46 pm »
(John C. Twist) cares less about his son's life than his death; his one issue is that the boy's ashes not be scattered on Brokeback Mountain, as Jack had wished, but that he be buried in the family plot, that he be hypocritically reclaimed for something called the name of decency.

"I" is instrumental
« Reply #7713 on: October 12, 2006, 01:16:44 pm »
Ennis' remarks about Jack's harmonica playing were probably instrumental in Jack's forgetting to bring it for their four-year reunion.

"K" is knowingness
« Reply #7715 on: October 12, 2006, 02:47:26 pm »
We can see the knowingness in Alma as she listens to and watches Ennis leaving for his fishing trips, but he isn't looking at her reaction.

"L" is longer
« Reply #7716 on: October 12, 2006, 04:04:27 pm »
"They were no longer young men with all of it before them.  Jack had filled out through the shoulders and hams; Ennis stayed as lean as a clothespole, stepped around in worn boots, jeans and shirts summer and winter, added a canvas coat in cold weather."  [story]

Jack's manhandling of Ennis showed he knew how to handle his man.

"O" is Oscar-nomination
« Reply #7719 on: October 12, 2006, 05:22:57 pm »
"The Larry McMurtry-Diana Ossana screenplay, an Oscar-nomination lock, has the authentic feel of McMurtry's Lonesome Dove and The Last Picture Show as well as the cumulative power of his Terms of Endearment.  For a movie the actors rightfully dominate, there are artfully developed female characters potently acted by Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway and Linda Cardellini as wives and lovers either heartbroken over what's happening or cluelessly mystified."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today
