"You're good enough"
« on: October 16, 2006, 09:45:27 pm »
After Junior said those words (in the movie, of course) Casie responds with something like "You don't say much, but you get your point accross."
Does anybody know what that point might be? Or could somebody direct me to the thread on which this subject has been discussed already?

Just finished watching the movie (again), and would very  much like to hear opinions as to the significance of this exchange (other than, like father, like daughter).

Thanks y'all

wellllll...I always thought that Junior knew that Ennis was gay. So to me it was always an unfinished sentence...I can almost hear the ending..."You are good enough but my father is gay...so no matter how good you are, he is looking for what you can not give him"

Sorry Jess, maybe I didn't ask the right question. Cassie seems to understand what Junior says: ("You get your point accross") If the "point" is that her daddy's gay, then what "point" is Casie confirming to have have undertood? - Don't think that "my daddy is gay" is the message that Cassie caught...

No becase later she says "I don't get you Ennis Del Mar"

Jess! You fibber!! - you spend a lot of time on other forums (admin for one, not to mention ALL the time you spend checking out the images on that little "Anything Goes" forum)

Will anyone ever believe you ever again *chorkle* *nasty larf* ** tee-hee-hee!  :laugh:

Back on topic...being told "You're good enough" is sort of like getting a C in school. Not an outright insult, but it isn't going to make anybody feel very confident in their abilities/attributes. So, Jr. gets her point across, basically saying like Aguirre did, "You're wasting your time here." She gets her point across but Cassie, with no better prospects, doesn't accept it.
