It's funny .... I had found it at the same time you did. As you said ... the moderator is HORRIBLE! He might want to learn how to properly pronounce Jake's last name! Beyond that ... it is fun to listen to.

Front-Ranger:
In reference to your earlier comment about how Ang Lee speaks in riddles, that led to us trying to solve the "milk/water=Jack/Lureen" riddle, which caused us to revive our perennial worry about whether we are just making this all up, I found this comment by Lee in the production notes:
--- Quote ---Ang Lee: That bottled-up feeling - Larry had written me about the nonverbal culture in the West. I'd done [a movie about] a verbal culture with Sense and Sensibility. In some ways, this was harder, because, if they are not verbalizing their feelings and being level in their communication, then how do you express their feelings in cinema? You have the Western elements; the landscape, the sky, the animals - whom they're nurturing, actually.
--- End quote ---
Not proof positive that the symbolism was intentional, but leaning that way...

This might be more to the screenplay writers - I'd ask why they didn't show Jack writing the first postcard. I'd like to have seen their interpretation on why he did it: as an impulse, was it prompted somehow by having his son, was it because he wanted another man again or just Ennis?
