Joe Aguirre: what do you think of this character as portrayed in the movie?
myprivatejack:
Well,I don´t know if this has been said before,because I´ve found the forum too late,but here I go¡:iIMO,Aguirre in the scene where they are playing shirtless while he is seeing them at distance,shows the difference between the idilic environment they´ve lived in BBM and the real world they´re going to find when they came back to their usual life.For me this scene is brutal for this reason... :-\ He was a man with no time to sentimental issues,since his only interet was making money and,of course,Ennis and Jack were then the ones who must guarantee this.Aguirre has been very criticised,but I find logical that he thought that if his workers were not only playing sexual games,but moreover,in love,their work would be neglicted...For this reason,he invented the excuse of the storm that was coming to avoid another problems with his real interets.But I must say that I don´t like him at all;I only an putting myself in his shoes...

Thanks injest, thanks myprivatejack, thanks brokeplex, and thanks all others too!!
May we have more Ennis' and Jacks playing shirtless and free!!
But reading today by the CBC on Yahoo Canada (see it to view the clip right now), that a school in Ontario, at Ottawa (which is the Capital of Canada) cut out the word Christmas in a song and replaced it with festive, does not make me think that such freedom as Ennis and Jack have on top of the Brokeback Mountain will exist more and more, but less and less!!
Remember the song: Silver bells, soon it will be Christmas Day... that is a wonderful part of our free democratic countries in the USA, Canada, England, France... among others!! To-day, but now how long will that freedom last as words are being replaced to accomodate reasonably others like islam muslims, some jews (not all jews) and other such religions and non-religious??
The school board now thinks that it should have maybe considered even replacing all Christmas songs!! Wow!! What do you think? Will we now be forced to burn the Brokeback Mountain movie since it mentions some religions or something likewise??
Joe Aguirre did not stop Ennis and Jack from having their freedom, thank goodness if he was anti-gay or not!! But now, we must consider having that Aguirre out of the BM movie, because certain groups (religious or not) demand it, simply because some christians, jews and others want to accomodate too much??
It is now Christmas Eve, and I think that this subject of keeping Joe Aguirre as a charactor in the BM movie is important to freedom!! What do you think?
Hugs!! Merry, Merry, Merry Free Christmas!!

I don't know about that, but I do believe that keeping Joe Aguirre as the central subject of this thread is important to the topic!
A quick Merry Christmas doesn't hurt, though! :D

Yes,I also think it´s important to freedom IMO because we can see him as a representative of the outer world beyond BBM;this world that made Ennis live in a constant denial of what he was and what he felt.This word that didn´t understand their love and this world that,at the end,killed Jack for being himself.He´s like a symbolism of misunderstanding and intolerance,is not this important to freedom if we compare?.
