Is Jack still alive?

<< < (9/19) > >>

brokebackjack:
outstanding Lee!! I couldn't remember where all that WAS

and the debate has taken interesting turns...

RossInIllinois:
If you read the original published short story of Brokeback Mountain you will see that the writer's intent was to have the character of Jack Twist die and leave it up to the reader to decide how. Nothing in the short story even hints othewise.

Artiste:
I still think that Jack is STILL alive!

So, then a BM II movie would be possible?

You think?

Hugs!

Artiste:
Hi to all and to guests too!!

Since I have not seen the urn with Jack's, I still think that Jack is still alive.

Can anyone here too??

Au revoir,
hugs!

elomelo:
I agree with the person who said that the author's intentions was to have Jack die and then let the reader/viewer assume how. That was the blow that made the movie so powerfully emotional and REAL. And a sequel wouldn't be as powerful.

Then again, fanfiction begs to differ. :)
