Ennis had to invent alibis to satisfy Alma's curiosity every time he and Jack spent time together.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"J" is jettisoned

Ennis eventually jettisoned the straight guy charade that his relationship with Cassie represented, but managed to hurt Cassie deeply in the process.

"K" is kidded
« Reply #5845 on: August 08, 2006, 07:51:02 pm »
To show that not all rodeo cowboys are fuckups, Jack kidded around and made his new friend laugh.

Jack:  "Yeehaw...
There you go.
Burn his guts out.
Wavin' to the girls in the stands!
He's kickin' me to high heaven!"

Ennis:  "I think my dad was right."

"N" is narrative

Throughout it all, Gustavo Santaoalla’s music fits the narrative like a glove:  solo, then steel guitars for the lonely men in the mountains; strings are added as their romance blossoms, a country fiddle adds party zest.     Quiet mastery .. JWR.
