Was Jack Twist an Adopted Child?

You say: OMT resented Jack. If Jack wanted his ashes on Brokeback, perhaps OMT wanted to have the last word and deny Ennis the opportunity to comply with Jack's wishes. Maybe he wanted Ennis to come back again, he wanted to leave the door open for a return visit. I'm not sure.
Very well phrased brokeplex! So both Jack mother and OMT want Ennis to come back to visit?? It remains was Jack adopted or not?? The views of Jack seem different to OMT because Jack was adopted? Or somewhat same because Jack was not adopted?

This is pure speculation on my part Artiste. There is nothing that directly tells us that Jack was adopted. I simply see a pattern that probably most Brokies do not accept.
It answers many of the questions in my mind as to why Jack and Ennis fell so strongly in love (the bond of mutual parental loss), why was OMT alienated from Jack, why mother Twist asked Aguirre to ride all of the way up the mountain to tell Jack his uncle was terminal (the Uncle was Jack's biological father is my answer).

You say: (the Uncle was Jack's biological father is my answer).
Wow! You might be right!! Great idea you have there! That would be good for a 2nd BM movie?
Concerning Jack's father (if it was OMT), Jack was not so much alienated from him, since Jack did return often there??
Hugs!

could be.....I think it adds a dimension to the story that I think works well.

When you think that maybe: Jack's Uncle was Jack's biological father is my answer.
Then maybe that is why Jack's boss did not fire Jack nor Ennis right away when he saw them playing as lovers??
Hugs!

hunh! I don't understand. I think that Aguirre didn't fire them because he couldn't. It would have been very impractical to get replacement up the mountain in the middle of the summer.
