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

[Mikaela]

Contemplating the wide vistas and majestic landscapes of Brokeback Mountain allowed Jack and Ennis to experience a Zen-emulating inner peace and contentment that they were never able to find once off the mountain.

Folks, I'm about at the end of my "Z"s at the moment. If the mods don't accept this one, please just let me have the XXX treatment to keep the game going and the ABC's intact, - as I'm a bit short of time just now.

The second evening after Tent Scene One, according to the screenplay:
The setting sun leaves the sky ablaze in orange and purple.
Ennis rides into camp.  Jack stands when he sees Ennis. 
Ennis avoids his eyes.

"...the wind combed the grass and drew from the damaged krummholz and slit rock a bestial drone.” {short story}

Ennis's broken nose healed crooked. [story]

 If only Ennis had read Thoreau; or if only Jack had read Thoreau to him. I suspect the passage “Walden” that Jack would have chosen would have been this famous declaration: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."       From Brokeback Mountain to Walden Pond

Jack and Ennis were eyeing each other outside fat-arse Aguirre's trailer.

Alma's anger festered for years until that outburst at Thanksgiving dinner.

From the minute that Jack laid eyes on Ennis, he was a goner.

Very occasionally do the components of a film, (story, cast, music, cinematography, design and editing) come together in calm harmony and deliver an emotional experience that renews faith in the art.  Such an unforgettable result can be found in every frame of Brokeback Mountain thanks to director Ang Lee’s vision of the awful truth that struggles helplessly to the surface in the souls of married men whose real desires remain largely unfulfilled and hidden away.     Quiet Mastery ..
