"O" is oversize
« Reply #6680 on: August 27, 2006, 09:07:55 am »
The driver, Joe Aguirre, middle-aged, stocky, no fool, hair the color of cigarette ash and parted down the middle, foam dice hanging from the rearview, gets out.  Then reaches back in for an oversize container of coffee. Joe glares at Ennis, then Jack, as he heads for the trailer office door.    [screenplay]

"P" is pickle

When Jack showed up unannounced at his cabin after the divorce, Ennis found himself in a pickle.

Bobby finally quiets down and eats his cereal at Thanksgiving dinner after his dad tells off his granddad.

"R" reflection
« Reply #6683 on: August 27, 2006, 12:23:44 pm »
As Jack and Ennis ride beside the calm water, the sky’s serene reflection is visible belying the discontent they feel.

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

"S" is sense
« Reply #6684 on: August 27, 2006, 12:26:45 pm »
Ennis "might have to stay with his married daughter until he picks up another job, yet he is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream."  [story]

"T" is twisted

For twenty years, Jack twisted in the wind, waiting for Ennis to join the dance.


Don't knock the Twist.

"U" is unguent
« Reply #6686 on: August 27, 2006, 02:45:06 pm »
The wound on Jack's face after the boys came down the mountain would heal, but the only unguent for the wound left by Ennis's departure was Ennis himself.


Unguent:  A soothing or healing salve

"V" is voyeuristic
« Reply #6687 on: August 27, 2006, 03:06:52 pm »
"The years whiz by in the film’s middle, signaling that nothing will be as special, or as holy, as the idyllic first days of their romance.  We see the evolution of their lives — the comings and goings of girlfriends, marriages, children, and facial hair — but we don’t see what becomes of the physical expression of their love.  Their lusty kissing after a four-year separation clinches their lasting passion, but the scene quickly turns into a voyeuristic nightmare for Ennis’ wife Alma."
-- Matthew Kennedy, Bright Lights Film Journal

"W" is wavelength

Even though the batteries in Jack's transistor radio died (according to the story), Jack and Ennis were still on the same wavelength.
