"Jack, I swear..." What do you think Ennis meant by that?

One of the very first and most heart-stirring comments I ever read about Brokeback Mountain, months before I actually saw the film myself, was an early usercomment on the IMDb that included (and I paraphrase from memory): "...it is a love story that begins without love and ends with a love that will never die." This beautiful line alone would have piqued my interest, but after my first exposure to the film, it acquired depths of meaning that I could not possibly have foreseen.
Artiste:
Yes, we do not foresee!! Thank goodness, we try to know Annie's story!! More and more!!

Yes, that's a lovely description of the film because it focuses on "love"; however the nearly desperate sadness of their love, in my opinion, is the greater message of the movie. It is a lesson that tragic love teaches, and which people take to heart and mind many saying, "I must change, so it does not happen to me!” That is how I took it, anyway, because I feel love that lives between two living beings is preferable to the loving memory of someone who has died. A ghost is a cold thing to kiss goodnight and colder still to sleep with.

Ryan you say this:
