"Wowing them at festivals, Ang Lee's rugged love story stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger and is based on Annie Proulx's spectacular short story."

"A" is artless
« Reply #8175 on: November 01, 2006, 11:51:32 pm »
We are back to the present as Jack, much older now, watches the pickup truck, and his other half, fade away into the distance, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives.   [2005 screenplay]

"C" is county

"Her resentment opened out a little every year:  the embrace she had glimpsed, Ennis's fishing trips once or twice a year with Jack Twist and never a vacation with her and the girls, his disinclination to step out and have any fun, his yearning for low-paid, long-houred ranch work, his propensity to roll to the wall and sleep as soon as he hit the bed, his failure to look for a decent permanent job with the county or the power company, put her in a long, slow dive, and when Alma Jr. was nine and Francine seven she said, what am I doin' hangin' around with him, divorced Ennis and married the Riverton grocer."  [story]

Among the myriad of emotions she experiences Alma finds herself envious of Jack.
