Them soup boxes is hard to pack.
Well, I'm not saying never bring certain things up, but just be careful if you do. Take it from a Front-Ranger who's been in plenty of hot water in the past.
First of all, Alma and Lureen are really wonderful, wise women who just want the best for their men, always. Also, Cassie and LaShawn are the finest examples of femininity that you would ever want to come across. Mrs. Twist is always spoken about in reverent tones. She is the madonna. I'm sure Ennis's mom was a swell woman too...she sang to him. You can say any old vile thing about John Twist, L.D. Newsome, the bikers, or pretty much any guy in the movie except of course Jack and Ennis. Even Monroe.
The story, as written by Annie Proulx, is thought of as the gospel by a big chunk of the bean board, whereas there are others who don't think much of the story, but regard the movie as the last word. Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire.
Jake and Heath are the ideal models of male virility and beauty. Don't malign either one, though you can drool as much as you like over one or the other. Oh, they're intelligent and talented too, don't forget.
Jack is wind and air, and maybe water. Unless Alma's water. And Ennis is earth, that much we know. And maybe fire. Unless Lureen is fire. Lureen is red and white, and white stands for death, or purity. But red is death, or perhaps it is passion, or prosperity. But dark red is something else, and blood is red, so red must stand for death. But then what is white? Let's just go on to purple. Purple is blue and red, so it stands for Jack's death. And brown stands for Ennis, also yellow. But yellow and blue make green, so green stands for Ennis and Jack. And orange is Ennis, so the stained glass window in the church stands for Ennis and Ennis+Jack. 'nuff said.
Jack was always a bottom and Ennis was always a top. Never doubt this!
Just trying to help out here.
