"I" is interaction

While checking one another out during the initial scenes of the film, there was little verbal interaction, but plenty of the visual sort.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"J" is juxtaposes

"Lee successfully juxtaposes the characters' perceived privacy against the expansive Rocky Mountain backdrop yet maintains an intense intimacy. He handles the film with the care and reverence one would expect of the man who wrote and directed The Wedding Banquet."
-- Paul E. Pratt

"M" is manner

"This is Ennis del Mar:  about twenty, but nonetheless compelling, not light or frivolous in disposition, appearance or manner, uncommonly quick reflexes -- a high-school drop-out country boy with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life.  Has outgrown his faded cowboy shirt, his wrists stick well out of the sleeves, the buttons gap."  [screenplay]
