The story flashback about Jack's dad peeing on him
serious crayons:
I always took Jack's peeing in the movie as a reference to the night in the story when they sat around talking, "getting up every now and then to piss, firelight throwing a sparkle into the arched stream."
I wonder why we don't have a thread on body fluids -- pee, spit, tears, blood ... Or do we already?
Artiste:
Thanks Front-Ranger!
Yes, in a way, each was a father to the other; consulting and consoling!! (Are those the words??)
I can understand the pissing scenes or mention, as manly somehow, in order to relate to each other: male to male!! (I have seen something like Jack's father did, in my life!!)
What puzzles me more is that Ennis and Jack are now fathers caring more now about their children?? !! Evidently so!! But I question this too?? !! Did the pissing scenes helped them become better men as more caring than their fathers??
Hugs!

Me too.
But I think Artiste may also have a point here. Very manly thing to do, the way Jack stands there, followed by the showing off of the belt buckle he won. Yes, I think male bonding also plays a role here.

I think we do. Can't remember the title from the top of my head, but I think FRiend Lee started it. Maybe the tilte was something like "Talking about the nasty/unpleasant ... whatever". I'll look later for it.
Or was it "Blood, spit and tears" ot something similar to it? Dang, I almost remember it.

I agree that Jack pissing in the BM film is important. One must remember too that Jack show off in a way his crotch with his belt buckle as he stands in front of Ennis who is sitting down and looking!! Is that in a way a manly way to introduce the idea of sex??
It seems so to me!! To you ??
Hugs!!

I found it! :) It is "Life and this movie are messy" and was started by Lee. That's Lee's introduction to the topic:
This is all about sweat, tears, blood, rain, snow, hail, and runny noses.
