You are right!!
However, there are underlined secondary plans that Annie talks about??
I feel that: Jack's father being maybe a gay person, is one.
It seems to me that Annie does take that as a subject!
Do you think?
Hugs!!

Hmmm I don't really see it that way but I could be wrong. :)
Artiste:
Thanks RossInIllinois!!
There are secondary subjects that Annies takes seriously, and others maybe she just hints or starts at it,
it seems to me.
Jack's father was a gay man? May I take this question in another way? Like do you feel that Annie talks about LOVE mainly or HOMOSEXUALITY?
Hugs!!

I think Annie talks about love from a homosexual viewpoint. And she did an amazing job.
Just my 2 cents! :)
Artiste:
Thanks David!
Your comment seems so to most readers or viewers of the movie, maybe??
You say:
I think Annie talks about love from a homosexual viewpoint. And she did an amazing job.
...
I will not disprove that Annie does not do an amazing job. Concerning your other line, I am questionning that!!
I would appreciate you answering this question:
Jack's father was a gay man?
Hugs!

To me the mainHollywoodized aspect is that Ennis and Jack went from raunchy, unattractive characters in the SS to the obviously top tier good looking young men audiences line up for.
Other than that, I think Lee did a better job at communicating the essense of the relationship than the book alone was able to do. The integration of the sound track, Ledger's unbelievablely superb verbal and non verbal expressions and communications, and Lee's magically real ability to establish scenes that crystalize and propel meaning far outperformed the style Proulx uses, to me.
