"G" is guardedly

Ennis had guardedly opened his heart to Jack and found his soul mate but...  "Two men living together?  No way."

"H" is highroad
« Reply #14671 on: September 04, 2007, 02:14:17 pm »
When Ennis cancelled the August trip, Jack could no longer stay on the highroad.   This was something he had to fix or quit.

def - The most positive, diplomatic, or ethical course.

"I" is increasing

Ennis' torment was increasing when he finally said: "It's because of you, Jack, that I'm like this.  I'm nothin'.  I'm nowhere."

Jack locks Ennis in his gaze, and lets him have it.

"M" is misleads

By sending the postcard about the divorce, Ennis unintentionally misleads Jack into thinking that he's finally ready to start a life with him.

"N" is nonsensitive
« Reply #14675 on: September 04, 2007, 05:52:00 pm »
The years on years of avoiding society to meet up with Ennis have made Jack nonsensitive to Ennis's needs.   Jack figures that after "If you can't fix it then, by God, drive off from it - that's my motto."    [shooting script - while talking to the Malones on the highway.]

def - Not sensitive; wanting sense or perception; not easily affected.

Ennis overruled Jack's suggestion that they could live a "sweet life" together.

"P" is presumed

Upon learning of Ennis' divorce, Jack presumed they would build a life together; he was incredibly disappointed when discovering such was not the case.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

  • There's no reins on this one....
"R" is reiterates
« Reply #14678 on: September 04, 2007, 09:45:10 pm »
As Jack gets angrier and less guarded, he reiterates his feeling that the sweet life was the right road for him and Ennis:  "Tell you what, we could of had a good life together, a fuckin' real good life, had us a place of our own."
