The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

Ennis's mood darkens when he tells Jack about the once-overs he feels the people in town are giving him:

"You ever get the feelin, I don't know, when you're in town, and someone looks at you, suspicious... like he knows, and then you get out on the pavement, and everyone, lookin' at you, and maybe they all know too?"

[Meryl]

An example of the genius of Ang Lee in combining opposites and angles:  The darkening mood of the film is expressed perfectly by the perpendicular position of Ennis and Jack on the mountain in broad daylight; their oneness was equally well illustrated later by their parallel position in the dozy embrace by firelight.

From the dozy embrace scene:  "Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed," rocking "a little in the sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat..."

In the soft light lof the little church, Ennis looked solemn as he and Alma were married.

Despite the predators and the lightning, more than three-fourths of Joe Aguirre's sheep survived their time on the summer range the previous summer.

Alma decided to change her plight when she divorced Ennis because of "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," and his unreliability in getting a permanent job.

[MaineWriter]

In the dark light of the Siesta Motel, Jack asked, "What are we gonna do now?" and Ennis paused before answering, weighing his words carefully.

An observant poster on IMDb noted the similarities between the Twist home and this painting by Hammershoi, noting how the light bled through the windows to create a distinctive atmosphere.
