"O" is odors

In the screenplay, Ennis presses his face into the newly discovered shirts, hoping to find the smoky, salty sweet odors of Jack Twist.

Det ensomme liv under åben himmel og de rå men smukke omgivelser danner langsomt rammen om en ømhed mellem de to mænd.
The lonely life in the open air and those rough but beautiful surroundings slowly create a tenderness between the two men.

"Ennis, wearing his best shirt, white with wide black stripes, didn't know what time Jack would get there and so had taken the day off, paced back and forth, looking down into a street pale with dust."  [story]

The mock-rodeo-mating-dance is quintessentially Jack-esque.

Ennis misses the fishing travels with a good rider like Jack Twist.

"They went off in Jack's truck, bought a bottle of whiskey and within twenty minutes were in the Motel Siesta jouncing a bed."  [story]

Jack and Ennis continued their relationship through thick and thin for twenty years.

Jack's driving from Texas to Wyoming was quite an undertaking.

"V" is vanilla

"A truly successful adaptation of a written work to the big screen will demand two things – that it remains somewhat faithful to the source, and yet at the same time be more than just a vanilla adaptation of a book.  Brokeback Mountain succeeds on both counts.  Much of what transpires in the novella is faithfully reproduced onscreen, and even the dialogue in the movie pretty much follows what was written verbatim."

Ennis showed little willingness to form a long-term relationship with Cassie Cartwright.

"X" is xamining

When Ennis was in Jack's closet xamining his boots, he discovered the two bloody shirts tucked away.
