The World Beyond BetterMost > Anything Goes
The what if thread
ednbarby:
I got some:
What if Ennis hadn't sent Jack away when he showed up after the divorce?
What if Ennis had let Jack comfort him after he accidentally caught him in the nose during their angry tussle?
What if Jack had told Ennis it was his parents' ranch he had it in mind for them to have the cow and calf operation on?
Worst of all: What if this movie had never been made? :o :o :o
JennyC:
What if they had more time together on Brokeback that summer and did not have to get down earlier? Would the extra time together convince Ennis that he should stay with Jack instead of marrying Alma?
What if Jack hunted Ennis down before Ennis and Alma had kids, not after 4 years?
What if Jack told Ennis that he would leave Ennis the last time that they were together? Would Ennis change his mind at that time?
Or what if the short story is adapted by other screen writers, directed not by Ang with a different cast?

Jenny-
I appreciate this thread because I've always wondered what if Ennis had a second chance. What if it turned out that Jack was not, after all, dead. What if Ennis found this out, say, 6 months later. Would his mind-set have changed sufficiently to make different choices? Everyday I think we are given opportunities to change our lives but don't necessarily pick up on those choices. I wonder if Ennis would. It would so compound his tragedy if he didn't...
