"N" is negation

The negation of his true nature had ramifications that affected everyone Ennis cared about.

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop
(where else am I lately besides the Motel Siesta?)

When Miss Linda F. Higgins assures Ennis that if they (the distributors) have more of the Brokeback Mountain postcards, she can get him a hundred of them!  Ennis simply replies that one's enough!

=aside= Ennis
I bet that U wished that U had ordered one hundred BBM postcards!  ;)

"P" is pretzels

One senses straight folks twisting themselves into pretzels trying to make a patently gay story fit their sensibilities: That's what we usually have to do with heterosexual love stories.

"Q" is qui

Ennis was on the qui vive, watchful and vigilent as he waited for Jack to arrive after 4 years apart.

"R" is reciprocated

They met after four years apart–Ennis pushed Jack against the wall, kissed him hungrily, and Jack happily reciprocated.

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

"S" is sage
« Reply #6126 on: August 15, 2006, 08:30:40 am »
Ennis presses his face into the fabric and breathes in slowly through his mouth, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack. But there is no real scent, only the memory of it, which we see, zoom — an image of the mountain, superimposed - the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain, of which nothing is left but what he now holds in his trembling hands.     [screenplay, slightly modified from Annie Proulx]

"T" is thumb

Ennis' rule of thumb was: "If you can't fix it, you've gotta stand it."

"U" is underestimated
« Reply #6128 on: August 15, 2006, 09:17:57 am »
Ennis loved Jack greatly although he seldom showed it; consequently, Jack sometimes underestimated the degree of Ennis’ true commitment.

"V" is vascular

Emotional and physical stimulation caused a reaction in the vascular systems of Jack and Ennis.
