"B" is bewilderment
« Reply #5891 on: August 09, 2006, 04:20:31 pm »
As it happens throughout, Ledger’s mastery over his rugged face expertly reveals bewilderment and replays pleasures to come when he awakens, hung-over beside his sudden love.      Quiet mastery .. JWR.

"G" is grassy-plain
« Reply #5896 on: August 09, 2006, 04:37:59 pm »
Jack saddles up, in a pale world. The mountain, misted, is the color of smoke, the high, grassy-plain invisible. Ennis cleans the breakfast plates by the fire. Jack mounts his bay mare. She crow-hops a little; he keeps her under control. Rides off, Ennis watching him go.   [screenplay]

"I" is implying
« Reply #5898 on: August 09, 2006, 04:49:06 pm »
When the short story says Jack had been "riding more than bulls", it's implying that Jack had been having sex with other men.

Jack's jocoseness is apparent, even on Aguirre's bottom step, when he says: "Your folks just stopped at Ennis?
