"Y" is y'all

When he became a Texan, Jack undoubtedly addressed a group of people as "y'all."

At the tiniest glimpse of Jack, Ennis's heart would soar as surely and steadily as a zeppelin in the sky.

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

"A" is ascribed

Jack’s unhappy homelife could be ascribed, in part, to his father-in-law.

"C" is cross-purposes
« Reply #6055 on: August 13, 2006, 03:34:41 pm »
Having satisfied what may be transitory needs, the two of them are operating at emotional cross-purposes  —  Ennis trying to assert the encounter as a drunken aberration, and Jack balancing that discomfort against his own desires.

"D" is defeated
« Reply #6056 on: August 13, 2006, 03:38:25 pm »
"Ennis sits at the little kitchen table with Jack's parents.  Across from him sits Jack's father, his hands folded on the plastic tablecloth.   The father is tough, weatherbeaten, testy, critical -- makes it clear by his manner that he expects to be the stud duck in the pond.  Jack's mother -- silent, defeated -- stands.  Ennis can't see Jack in either of them."  [screenplay]

"E" is enervating

On the day after the reunion, Jack and Ennis drove into the mountains and jumped into the enervating water.

"F" is fate

Jack's fate remains ambiguous, although Ennis is certain that the tire iron got him.

"G" is Gyllenhaal's
« Reply #6059 on: August 13, 2006, 04:09:54 pm »
 ... Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist is the more extroverted one, the rodeo rider, the cowboy who makes cow eyes.    Lasso Me Tender
