Why Jack Quit Ennis

Because this time Ennis would swear and Jack wouldn't have to? (Someday I really am going to watch the movie and keep track of every time Jack swears. ;D )

Sounds like a fun new thread! Swearing as a metaphor. The hidden symbolism behind "goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation" and "son of a whoreson bitch." The changing shades of meaning that "Jack Fuckin Twist" undergoes in its three incarnations. And we already know who the dumbass mule is, right?
angry little lawyer:
I just "found" this thread and OMG I never reflected on the fact that while John C. Twist knew Ennis Del Mar by name, Randall was just "some rancher friend." I recently saw this movie again and was struck by the absolute cruelty of John Twist that I started crying. The only reason he's even mentioning the other "friend" is to wound Ennis. I hated him so much right then! >:(

Happy Throwback Thursday!
