"You say eether and I say eyether,
You say neether and I say nyther;
Eether, eyether, neether, nyther,
Let's call the whole thing off!
You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto;
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
Let's call the whole thing off!
But oh! If we call the whole thing off,
Then we must part.
And oh! If we ever part,
Then that might break my heart!
So, if you like pajamas and I like pajahmas,
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas.
For we know we need each other,
So we better call the calling off off.
Let's call the whole thing off!"

thanks George and Ira Gershwin for that bit of wisdom way back in 1937!  :laugh:

Well said Katie!

You do bring some good points... and may I thank you for that by this last post of yours!
I think that others as well as I do too!! Why not consider other perspectives?

Of course, you can easily say that other points of view are absurd, but that is not researching a subject, it seems to me... may I say, in order to dwell on many issues and not only one issue!!!

One thing you make me think about, gladly, which I had not realized before (and do think about now thanks to you) is that the Jimbo scene is a [b]hinge[/b] one. May I add that it is, and also more than ONE hinges!!

The Jimbo scene is also INGERANCE French word; since I do not know the English word for that, maybe you do? Or someone here does? De tell please.

There are MANY, MANY horrible things that happens in the Jimbo scene; not that it is NOT only one bad happening; the dynamics are influencial, as the event, by extension, show possible murderers of JACK? IT COULD VERY WELL BE, THAT THAT WAS THE AIM OF LEE? AND/OR BY ALSO THE SCREEN WRITER(S) ??

It is easy to describe like you do, and am happy with that, but can not at all limit myself to that! Because, unfortunately, the Brokeback Mountain movie is a drama, it contains numerous dramas, and not ONLY the lack and/or love between Ennis and Jack, and other forms of love (as you outlines a bit)!!

There are UNDERLYING conflicts in this movie, you can think about?

Monika:
I think there's always that risk that we over interpret some scenes, in that we think that they mean more than they really do.
But this wouldn't exactly be the first time, I seem to recall discussions about bread and such.... ;D

But it's always interesting to just have fun with it and to throw different ideas out there and see what happens.

Katie77:
Everybody is entitled to their opinions on here, and from what I can see, everyone does.

And.... there are many scenes in the movie and the story that have been discussed, just like this one, and people's opinions are different from others.

And....there have been replies to posts from people with different opinions, quite openly disputing how someone came to a certain opinion.

If we tagged everyone who did not agree with someone else's opinion as "attacking forum members", then half of this forum would be obliterated.

Bettermost is a group of people from all walks of life, all different personalities and beliefs, and most of the opinions that people put in here, are based on their own personal views and morality.

It is clearly shown in most posts, how people interpret things the broad spectrum of people on here.

It is not my intent to change peoples opinion, but it doesnt stop me from wondering how they came to that opinion.

Artiste:
Buffy, isn't there also the risk to skate easily on such a scene? And miss many things about it?
