At first Ennis states “You know I ain’t queer” after they have made love for the first time, and Jack replies the same, but this is because of how frustrated and terrified the two are at what has occurred. Jack wants the two of them have a good life together, and he becomes
fearless as to the consequences. Jack is a gregarious individual who is more disposed to acknowledge that he is gay. He marries Lureen, and starts a family with her, but he refuses to deny that he needs the companionship of a male. Jake Gyllenhaal blows his performance in Jarhead right out of the desert. As the audience watches the two men age, it is apparent that Gyllenhaal’s progression from a young rodeo cowboy to a middle-aged farm equipment seller is especially fascinating and genuine. When Jack says ”You have no idea how bad it gets”, he is referring to how much he misses Ennis. Unlike Ennis, he is not afraid to vocalize his feelings, and a sentence like that can apply to any relationship. Any person that has been in a long distance relationship will be able to relate to that very line.
