Artiste:
At times, you did, still do or will think about the Brokeback Mountain Movie concerning:
joy, purpose & fullfillment, in Ennis's, Jack's or someone elses in that film ??

I will be happy to get your comments,

hugs!!

Jack came closeest to the idea of all you listed.   But he never got close enough.

I thnk the only joy, purpose and fulfillment the boys ever got was when they were together on their sacred mountain. The rest of their life was just somthin to get through until they could be together again.

Artiste:
Thnaks, thanks chelseagirl, and loneleeb3 !!

Those are interesting comments.

I wonder if both Ennis and Jack had all those three: joy, purpose & fullfillment!! ??
On the Brokeback Mountain raising sheep, we do see some joyful times together, yes, and in different ways and times!! Besides making money that way, they did not seem to have the same purpose or did they then??

Hugs!!

loneleeb3:
I think they did. The purpose in the begining was to make money. I believe for Jack it was so he would have his Rodeo fees and Ennis to get married. However their purpose changes as they fall in love. They quit staying alone with the sheep and stay together. There purpose then becomes to be lovers. They find joy and fulfillment in each others arms. Joy and fulfillment are fleeting. Purpose still remains constant though. Their purpose remains to be together, to be lovers. They live for their next chance to be together.
