The time they spent on the mountain is the most joyful part of the movie to me, especially when Jack and Ennis were companions around the campfire where none was expected, and when they were respectful of each others' opinions. No wonder Ennis felt he could paw the white out of the moon!

I agree with Lee that the wonderful, fateful summer on the mountain is the most joyful element in both story and film. Ennis and Jack got to know each other, themselves, and got to be who and what they really were for that brief, bracing spell. Their stint on the mountain very much haunted the rest of their lives--note how they try to recreate it with all those fishing trips.

There is a part of me, though, that believes that all sentient experience has its roots in a mysterious Cosmic Joy, so that, seen through this lens, even the saddest, most harrowing parts of the story have a spark of joy in them. The very fact that Jack and Ennis found true love, the greatest, most precious treasure that can crown a human life, is cause for any of us to feel exceedingly grateful, enduringly satisfying joy.

Thanks Front-Ranger!

I do not know what that is, nor mean; I know it makes me laugh, why? You got me smiling! Thanks!

Hugs! May we all be happy as Ennis and Jack, Heath and Jake were... and others too!!

May I quote you partly:
