Strange or puzzle unthought of, unsolvedWhy did Aguirre hire Jack a second time?
Front-Ranger:
I don't think Aguirre had a romantic interest in Jack; otherwise, he would have hired him a third time, rather than send him off with his tail between his legs, hehe! Better yet, he would have hired Jack but not Ennis and gone up the mountain with him! No, I think Aguirre was purely interested in getting the sheep herding job done. Who knows what his private life was like? I suspect there was a Mrs. Aguirre or a bf or gf who dialed him up while he was finishing up the hiring process. But we just don't know, and it doesn't matter what the gender was. In fact, that's one of the big points of the story/movie: in spite of Ennis' fears, nobody really cared or represented a real threat to Ennis and Jack being together. Others have pointed this out before, but I will repeat it. At the end of the movie, quite a few people knew about Ennis and Jack's relationship, but no one did anything to stop it or to hurt them. Ennis' fears were ungrounded but that didn't stop him from putting his and Jack's lives on hold.

Merci Front-Ranger,
One of the points is the following about your certainty of no danger, since you say:
At the end of the movie, quite a few people knew about Ennis and Jack's relationship, but no one did anything to stop it or to hurt them. Ennis' fears were ungrounded but that didn't stop him from putting his and Jack's lives on hold.

Front-Ranger, are you forgetting that two men did talk about Jack being gay, right in front of Jack's wife ?
I might be wrong, but didn't that happen in the movie?
Au revoir,
hugs!

Well, they called him a pissant...but that's not the same as calling him gay. And they never did anything to hurt him as far as the movie goes.
