"E" is enfolded

Ennis looked at the two shirts he had found nestled in the back of Jack's childhood closet and, overcome by emotion, enfolded them in a heartfelt embrace.

A figurine of a bandy-legged cowboy attracts Ennis's attention.

"G" is gripping

The picture of Ennis embracing the shirts was one of the most gripping in the movie.

The visit to the Twist's house was a source of harrowment to Ennis.

"I" is inflexible

Despite Ennis's best efforts, OMT is inflexible when it comes to Jack's ashes and where they're going.

"J" is juvenility
« Reply #12206 on: March 28, 2007, 04:35:33 pm »
Jack's bedroom contains many symbolic and emotionally packed items, especially the bed and wall lamp - both exuding juvenility and innocence.



WOW - Post 2500.

When Ennis found the two shirts, he realized that Jack had kept them as a symbol of his lasting love.

"M" is mistaken
« Reply #12208 on: March 28, 2007, 05:43:48 pm »
Ennis was mistaken about what had happened to his old shirt.  It had not been "lost long ago in some damn laundry."

"N" is noble
« Reply #12209 on: March 28, 2007, 06:09:01 pm »
Ennis displayed a noble disregard for his own emotional hang-ups when he went to face Jack's parents and ask for the chance to carry out Jack's last wishes.
