BM movie is anti-gay??
Artiste:
Thanks Susiebell!
There are gay men who are gay, others who are bi, I guess.
I do NOT see these two men (Ennis and Jack) in the BM movie as cheating on their wives, as it another world!!
You see that?
Hugs!
Artiste:
Thanks Susiebell!
It seems that those two wives were cheating on their husbands?
Hugs!
Artiste:
Thanks Susiebell!
Lureen was the agressive one and she knows that it was not Jack who did choose her! I do not think that Jack let Lureen down... except maybe sexually at the end since he seems to say so at the ending of the movie because she does not want sex or goes elsewhere for it, as one reason among others?
As for Alma, she is not that innocent?? She does marry a second time and quickly, plus she causes troubles too with Ennis way before that!! And there is something else?
Hugs!

Hi Artiste! haven't read anything from you in a while! hope all is well. I was puzzled with your comment that Alma causes trouble for Ennis. I sure don't see that. Alma was an innocent loving person.I also see Alma as a wonderful long-suffering person, who loved Ennis, was patient with Ennis, and finally after 10 + years, she had enough. She left Ennis for the other man who was kind and gentle with her and could provide financial security for her children. What is wrong with that? Ennis refused to "better himself", and lets not forget, Ennis was a good stockman - he had potential for advancement. Aguirre saw that when he looked at Ennis thru the binoculars. Ennis could have at least applied for the job with the electric company.
Lureen may have been aggressive, but Jack made a decision to marry her. He understood himself a lot better than Ennis understood himself. I am definitely not without sympathy for Ennis and Jack, but I think that they were both of then lucky and unlucky in different ways. I don't blame the women they married a bit.
Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex!
I am perplexed by the wives: of Ennis, as well as by Jack's wife!! To me, those two wives got what they wanted, according to the movie!! Concerning Annie's story, maybe that is different?
I do not blame the women for getting married to those two men, nor am I blaming at all their two husbands, because they did what they could as their wives did likewise!! Qu'est-ce sera sera, yes whatever is, is; as the song goes!! Then, now, and in the future too in our societies!!! There are some changes in our civilisations, but there remains dangers too!!
Yes, Alma causes many troubles for Ennis, it seems so in the BM movie!! She is the one who refuses her husband!
One can not blame one nor the other? It seems that life is hard for both!! The fact that Ennis loves Jack, is not for her to blame her husband nor Jack?? !! But she does blame Jack??
Hugs!!
