I like both the movie and the book, and like Jack a little more than Ennis.
I think the book and the movie compliment each other. The core of the story is the same, but each has slight differences. By experiencing both, I feel that I understand more about the whole story.
I like Jack because he's my ideal man. Warm, caring, nuturing, optimistic and yet still manly and strong. He's also brave, and if he finds his true love, faithful. Of course, he is also handsome (thanks to Mr. Gyllenhaal). Beautiful eyes, perfect nose and a charming crooked lips (anyone notice one side of his bottom lip drops lower when he talks or smiles?)
I like Ennis also because he's a loving father and he's reliable. He's that "tough guy" that most of us adore. He also cares although he has trouble showing it.
Over all, I give Jack an edge over Ennis because he is someone that can make me happy and happy to be with while Ennis would break my heart like he broken Jack's.
