"I was supposed to control the weather"... Jack and the Wind
Brown Eyes:
What a gorgeous photo! Thanks for posting it Lee!
:o :D
It occurs to me to mention that one of the reasons I love the wind topic so much is that it's like a key to noticing other nature metaphors that might be in play in the film/ story. The wind seems like the easiest to recognize (it's made the most explicit), so it helps point to more subtle things like the "earth" relating to Ennis. Etc.

What a great picture of smilin Jack!
This is a great thread! I love all the symbolisms y'all are pointing out. This movie/story just keeps getting better and better!

Great idea for May 1st
Interesting Lee that his music is produced by his breath through the harmonica.
Also interesting that his death (according to Lureen - and Annie Proulx did call it an accident in the novella) was caused by the tire essentially knocking the wind out of him and causing him to drown in his own blood while looking up.
I'll wear something blue around my neck tomorrow on Jack and the Wind Day.
