Come on, Ennis, you just shot my airplane out a the sky - give me something a go on.


Quote from: arenos on October 14, 2010, 09:07:57 AM

and he gave him the wings.
 
Cry





Jack gave Ennis the wings?  Or Ennis gave wings to Jack?

this is a confusing quote, it can be interpreted differently, it took me a few months to come to an understanding of it.

Some think Jack means a good thing, like "launch" the airplane up like a rocket, but it could mean shot out of the sky, like shot down.

Again,   Cry

I always understood it as shot down, out of the sky.

hmmm...

my favorite line is:

the metal smell of coming snow.

Cheesy

i also love the line about dawn coming glassy orange, and how it was stained by a gelatinous band of green from below,,,,,,, as i have smelled and seen both in the mountains of colorado.

i don't have the book handy though,. so i might be confused.

krummholz and split rock a bestial drone also floats my boat, lol.

    I'm certain that this has been said before but my actual favorite quote from Brokeback Mountain is all the words in the story.

Does "Love is a force of nature" count? It's on both my movie posters (gotta love huge posters of gay cowboys, especially when my step-dad sees them and blushes) and it pretty much is for both the book and movie. No one said it (not that I can remember) but it's my favorite and means a lot.
"Thought you didn't eat soup."
"Yeah, well I'm sick of beans."
"Too early in summer to be sick of beans."

The first real show of tenderness spoken out loud...."What in the hell happened Ennis? " asked by Jack to Ennis.Then tries to bathe his cut head.

Jack to Ennis "Thats more words than you spoke in the past two weeks " Ennis' reply " Hell.....thats the most I spoke in a year "

Just two on many lines that I love.

I think that's exactly what they were getting paid for! What else do you pay cute cowboys for? *lol*

Ennis : That harmonica don't sound  quite right either.

Jack: It got kinda flattened  when the mare threw me.

Ennis. Thought you said that mare couldn't throw you?

Jack: Aww! she got lucky

Ennis: Yeah, well if I got lucky...that harmonica woulda broken in two !!

LOL  Cheesy

A nice thing about "She got lucky" is how well it's spoken.  The tone of voide and rising intonation.

On the DVD (probably) i saw another version of that scene and Jake says the line differently, and it's not nearly as good as what's in the ffilm.

"Jack, I swear –" he said, though Jack had never asked him to swear anything and was himself not the swearing kind.
