Artiste:
Does Jack know that is or is not his child?

That, to me, is important. For many reasons.

Do you feel or know that that child is his??

Does Jack become to know, when and how??

Such questions and others are important, surely.

Pray you all will comment,

hugs! Blessed is a child to all!!

Artiste:
Don't be shy to comment now.

This is very important in the BM movie... surely!

Hugs!!

brokeplex:
Jack knows that Bobby is not his child.

injest:
he sure didn't seem overly interested in him...at least in the story..

brokeplex:
Good point!

That is one of the departures the film makes from the short story. Jack showed more interest in his heterosexual life in the film. Arellano in her essay in "Reading Brokeback Mountain"  points that out that this is a part of the heteronormativity the screenwriters added, which became a part of the Ang Lee's fillm.
