You think of joy, purpose & fullfillment, in Ennis's, Jack's or someone elses ??

Thanks loneleeb3!
Boy, you sure elaborate that well!!
Congratulations, if I may say so!!
Since I think that somehow those 3 expressions (joy, purpose & fullfillment) did not go that well (luckily to some degrees),
after they descended from Brokeback Mountain, I am asking you do you think that they could have succeeded better?? And how??
Hugs!!

Absolutly they could have succeeded! All Ennis had to do was say two letters.....O K!
When jack told him about his plan for their "sweet Life together" had Ennis just said ok everything shared on the Mountain would have come home with them. But sadly, Ennis couldn't do that. So they were left with joyless unfulfilled lives.The only purpose they had was making through to their next meeting.

May I say that I feel that Jack could have asked Ennis to continue their love/friendship right after coming down from Brokeback Mountain, when Ennis helped Jack start the truck ?? If Jack would have stressed that... somehow. And, too Ennis had to stress that??
Just a thought, I am presenting. What do you think of each of Ennis and Jack decisions then at that time??
Hugs!!

I think they were young and scared of their feelings and didn't know what to do. It was obvious they were in love the way Jack looked back as long as he could watching Ennis disappear in the rearview mirror and when Ennis had his breakdown in the shed after he was sure Jack was far enough away not to see him.
Course, had they expressed their love then and acted on it it would have been a short, all be it happier, movie!
Artiste:
Thanks loneleeb3 !
You sure are right in your comment, I feel!
You write: Ennis had his breakdown in the shed.
Since this scene still puzzles me, I wonder why Ennis does this.
Why do you think he did this?
Hugs!
