Well, yes and no. TS2 isn't in the book, and I'd never want to give that up! But the book contains more references to displays of affection -- even actual sex -- in their later lives. For example, when Jack says "Sometimes I miss you so much ..." Ennis just clams up and looks away. In the story, when Jack says something like that, Ennis pulls Jack closer and continues talking. Now THAT would have made a difference, wouldn't it!

Some how seeing Ennis and Jack in the tent made up for that at least to me. In the story and earlier screen plays there was no final embrace at the final lake scene. In the movie you know even if they didn't show Jack watch Ennis drive away that he stayed and took care of Ennis until he was able to leave.

That helps, but ... it doesn't quite make it all up.
* Sigh. * Never enough sex, never enou -- TIME. TIME. I mean, never enough TIME.

I guess i just think that Ennis and Jack seem like real people to many of us what we don't see are private and were shown enough that we know things were as they always were between them.
