YES 100%.
I think this is such a complex issue.We all ,I believe have a weaker introverted/introspective side and counterbalancing that a stronger, more gregarious side.Sometimes we choose (maybe subconciously) to show more of one side than other.This can be down to circumstance, or the people who are aound us at any given time.
Is it not perhaps a truism that one of the joys of being in love is the ability of that special someone to bring out and accept both sides.
I ponder when watching the movie,whether given more time together,this scenario might have played out between Jack and Ennis.There are subtle signs of the two becomming more similar and also more accepting of their differences as the movie progresses.Slowly Jack draws Ennis more out of his shell ,and on occasion we even see Ennis smile and laugh.
Equally we see Jack become more introspective and indeed perceptive,e.g the worries he has over the learning difficulties of his son. It could be argued that this is just part of the wisdom of age process,but I truly feel that they are beginning to bring out some of their own traits in each other.
Because of the infrequency of their meetings,this is naturally a slower than normal process.But I am convinced if you look for it ,the signs are there.With more time together ,might this not have developed further.However if they had been able to spend more time together,the whole tragedy that unfolds would never have occurred.Then what would we have had to talk about.
