Thanks Bud! :-*
And, about Aguirre being a reasonable boss or not... I think his biggest problem at the beginning of the film is that he's asking Jack and Ennis to do something that's blatantly against the Forest Service's policy. It's really not a very fair thing for a boss to ask of employees. Of course, he's a big jerk too, which does not help in any assessment of Aguirre as a "good" or "fair" boss.
Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex!
To you, why did Acquirre hire again Jack?
There was a terrible lost the year before! So why hire Jack a second time?
This seems fishy??
Hugs!
Brown Eyes:
Artiste, that's a good question about why Aguirre would hire Jack again.
Maybe Aguirre was fair enough, after all, to realize that Jack really couldn't control the weather which killed the sheep. Or maybe Aguirre was desperate for help during the summer of '63.
The brief references to Jack's earlier summer on Brokeback definitely lead to some mysteries.
Artiste:
Aguirre could have easily got rid of Jack the first time, and not hire him again!
So why? employ Jack a second time?
Hugs!
Brown Eyes:
Hi Artiste,
It's a good question. Why do you think he hired him again?
