"F" is futile

"Brokeback is not just about gays and roaming cowboys; it is an epic about the futile quest of love and the film speaks a universal language.  I hope it will be regarded as one of the greatest American romances one day -- in the same league as Doctor Zhivago and Casablanca."   
-- Ang Lee, as quoted in East West Magazine

"J" is justifiedly

According to Annie Proulx, Alma took stock of their economic situation and justifiedly "asked Ennis to use rubbers because she dreaded another pregnancy."

Jack Twist had to do a certain amount of kowtowing to his father-in-law to keep on good terms with him.

"Jack drives through town in his truck, which rattles and sputters louder than ever.  Eyes the sidewalks and dilapidated storefronts as if looking for someone:  Ennis."  [screenplay]

Alma and Ennis were newlyweds when they are sledding down the slippery slope of an ill-advised marriage, oh, and down the hill too.

"O" is overstated
« Reply #9159 on: December 04, 2006, 03:10:56 pm »
Ennis overstated the size of the coyote he shot:  "...big son of a bitch, balls on him size a apples.  Looked like he could eat a camel."
