I have tremendous empathy for the characters (my goodness, I've even fallen in love with Jack and Ennis), but I went with 'Lost Opportunities & Things I Never Accomplished', as the film has made me yearn all the stronger to experience the kind of love that Ennis and Jack knew, however compromised its circumstances were. Some people will never know the kind of bond that the boys were blessed to find in each other, and that thought saddens me quite a bit. That is my hope, to fall in love before I die.
If the 'Empathy for the Characters' option did not exclude tie-ins to my own life, I would have chosen that.
