"J" is justness

Mrs. Twist's justness and acceptance made Ennis' trip to Lightning Flat more palatable and significant to him. 


Congrats Fran

"K" is Kos
« Reply #9671 on: December 23, 2006, 12:26:21 pm »
From the Daily Kos:

"According to weekend estimates so far, Brokeback Mountain  is in the all-time top ten in per-theater sales and is #1 for a non-animated film.  It has grossed an estimated $545k so far, $109k per theater.  According to this chart, the average 2005 ticket price is $6.40 (including matinees).  But given that Brokeback is only showing in NY, LA and SF, let's say it's $8.00?  That would mean about 68,000 people, or 13,500 people per theater has [sic] seen this film.  13,000 people standing in line at each theater waiting to get tickets ... seems like a perfect opportunity to hand out literature."

Jack went out on a limb when he took Ennis' hand and placed it on his crotch.

"M" is measuring

That night, Ennis had no problem measuring up to Jack's hand-held offer.

Emmylou Harris sings "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" as Jack, desolate but determined, drives to Mexico.

"O" is outward

Ennis was much more concerned with outward appearances than Jack.

Signal Wyoming, early summer day 1964:
Jack parks in the dirt lot of the Farm and Ranch Employment trailer, dust and fine gravel pelting his truck's windows like hail.   [2003 screenplay]

During the Fourth of July celebration, Ennis' reveals his quick-temperedness by his violent reaction to the bikers' slop-bucket mouths.

"R" is red-blooded

Like all red-blooded American men, Jack and Ennis loved camping out, hunting and drinking whiskey.
