The wind is the first sound you hear in the film, as I guess everyone has noticed.

Welcome to miniangel! I think you will be so comfy here at BetterMost lying in the blue columbine that you'll be inspired to unfold and stretch your wings and even fly a little!!

Funny that everyone's talking about black and blue! Makes me think, of course, of the black and blue eagle bar where Ennis had a dirty fight on Thanksgiving nite. As well as Jack's bruise from where Ennis hit him.  :'(

In my Wyoming travel guide I found a quote which reminded me so much of Jack and the wind that I wanted to share it with you.
It's from Buffalo Bill Cody. It was spoken in defense of Wyoming, when a friend complained of the wind:

"You know where those winds come from? Well, this country up here is so close to paradise you can feel the breezes from heaven. That wind comes from the angels' wings. When they flap their wings the wind comes right down this valley."

This quote brings together Jack and the wind and the picture of Jack as the ministering angel  :D. How fitting it is for BBM.
