Good idea, FRiend! I just linked this thread as a Thanksgiving greeting to our Brokie brethren over on IMDb.

I just saw it over there, K. I've really enjoyed reading over this thread once again. That GuyMadison (Clancy's current name) is one of my favorite BBM scholars.

Can you explain why this is for a newbie? I understand the point of Cassie and think you're talking about the "girls don't fall in love with fun" line right? If so (or not), can you explain what you mean? Thanks so much. :)

Tango, ruthlesslysentimental is no longer among us on this site (AFAIK). It would be nice if he would pop in and explain it himself.
But I think you are right about what line he was referring to. Very insightful, "newbie"! ;)
As I recall, his feeling was that hearing that line made Ennis realize that Jack wasn't just in their relationship for the "fun" -- that he actually was in love. That's why Ennis suddenly looks so contemplative at that point.
And BTW, friend, welcome. If you dig back into the earlier threads on this forum, you will find many fascinating discussions of symbolism, metaphor, structure, etc. in the movie and story.

Thank you. I was kinda thinking along those lines myself but wasn't sure if it was another Cassie line. I spent so much time boo-hooing and sniffling the last 3rd of the movie, it's hard to catch it all. I guess I'll just have to watch it again. ;D I have read quite a of the forums before I registered but still have many more to explore. Thanks for the warm welcome.
