"S" is score

The great musical score from Brokeback Mountain is partially responsible for many of the evocative emotions people feel while viewing it.

Throughout "Brokeback Mountain," Jack and Ennis search for happiness.

"U" is unpretentious

"Perhaps most amazing is the way this film is playing around the country.  Where I live — a neighborhood of many luxury SUVs and "W. The President" bumper stickers — I saw the film to a sold-out house that started out laughing uncomfortably and ended enraptured.  Such is the power and greatness of Brokeback — it succeeds as a cosmic paean of love, an aesthetic triumph, and a natural and unpretentious unifier."
-- Neil Fauerso, The Iowa Source

"V" is virtue

Given the way that Cassie was perceived, she could also be called a woman of easy virtue.

"W" is wherewithal

Ennis lacked the wherewithal to enable him to have an easier life.

Def: means, resources; specifically : money

"X" is xceeds

"Brokeback Mountain is blessedly free of Hollywood condescension, despite the presence of outsized belt buckles and press-on nails.  There is not one character, major or minor, that devolves into caricature.  The movie is a triumph of spare dialogue, as actors communicate reams with their faces and bodies.  Credit Ang Lee, who here xceeds his already excellent work with actors in Sense and Sensibility and The Ice Storm."

"Y" is Yingtai
« Reply #6526 on: August 24, 2006, 11:34:06 am »
"Even on the deeper thematic level, the sadness of longing and loss, the difficulty of articulating pent-up desires run parallel with traditional Chinese stories such as "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai," of which the 1963 film version is credited as the single biggest influence on Lee's artistic upbringing."  Ang Lee: A Pinch of Tao, a dash of Zen by Raymond Zhou.

All of the characters in BBM were born as a zoon.  ;D

A zoon is any individual produced from a single egg.

"B" is broken

Jack’s dream of a life together with Ennis was broken after he mistakenly thought Ennis’ divorce would change their relationship.
