Jack was able to glean a lot of information in a short exchange with Ennis that he did not know before when he made a surprise visit after the divorce was final.

"H" is hairspray

It was obvious that Lureen used tons of hairspray on her Farrah hairdo.

Ennis and Jack had shared interests, but couldn't share the possible benefits of a life together.

"J" is jestingly

Ennis jestingly needled Jack by saying, "I think my daddy was right." Tragically, his dad was right about the ways that men who didn't conform could come to a bad end.

Jack's live-wire personality complements Ennis' quiet and broody nature.

"M" is manicure

Lureen has a manicure, a coif, a wardrobe, and a fashionable phone, but still it is clear that it is just a façade.

According to the Production Notes for Brokeback Mountain, Randy Quaid swiped his copy of the New Yorker in order to finish reading Annie Proulx's short story.

"O" is oversimplification
« Reply #6738 on: August 28, 2006, 08:22:21 pm »
From a five-star review of the "Brokeback Mountain" DVD at Video Universe:

"Some people dismiss this as just 'a gay cowboy movie', but this is just oversimplication.  The essence of this film is about the enduring power of love, that love comes in ways and means that may not always make us comfortable, but is nonetheless just as valid and real."

"P" is pie-in-the-sky

Jack had some pie-in-the-sky idea that someday Ennis would join him in establishing a little cow-and-calf operation.  :(
