Why Jack Quit Ennis
Front-Ranger:
I never saw this thread before...thanks for bumping it!
And now I'm wondering what other buried treasure there is that I haven't seen.
And also, this thread needs more posts...we haven't fully resolved the discussion!!
I hope ruthlessly is doing well wherever he is.

Great thread to bump. I read it all the way through last night. I certainly remember ruthless, and was sad when he left. Nice to see how respectful people could be, given the range of opinions.
Funny, the title of the thread is a bit presumptuous. As ruthless would say, replace "why" with "did" and all is well.
I don't buy ruthless's thesis, however well reasoned it may be. I'm more in the "torque" camp.
Also, I tend to think Jack's dying was his only way of quitting Ennis.

I got to know Ruthlessly pretty well, here and at IMDb, where he went under a variety of names -- most famously, ClancyPants. He was never one to shy away from stating a strong opinion on a controversial issue. But he certainly did his homework, unearthing subtleties and symbols that many might miss.
His vehement but logical argument that Jack died the way Lureen described, not the way Ennis imagined, permanently changed my mind on that issue.

Same here! :)

This is one thread I won´t read - not that I mind this interpretation of things - it´s simply not "my" Brokeback.
