"Did your foks run you off?"

<< < (6/6)

SFEnnisSF:
In the movie, not referencing the story at all:

I find it interesting that Jack get's a little excited when he asks "You're folks run you off?", like his 'ears prick up a bit'.  And then when Ennis starts to tell the story of what happened to his parents, Jack has a 'disappointed' look on his face...

Just my own observations.....  ;D

RouxB:
Now-in the movie-I see the perking up as interest. Jack going like "whoa-you folks run you off???!) and when Ennis gives the answer Jack is empathetic, not disappointed-"shit, that's hard"

I can't wait for June 12th!!!

It had never occurred to me before that ENNIS'S original statement, ("I was") was itself peculiar, but of course it was. Perhaps he thought, incorrectly, that his parents being dead made the "was' appropriate, or perhaps he was trying to include mor inofrmation in the sentence than the words would bear.  I think when he says, "Friend, that's more words than I've spoke in a year," he was p[robably telling the truth.  His use of language improves considerably after more exposure to Jack.  i.e.: "Fuck Aguirre? Whart if we have to work for him again, huh? We gotta stick this out, Jack."  The more at ease he becomes with Jack, the better he speaks.  The mroe at ease with someone you are,m the more you speak; the more you speak, the better you speak.

Huh?
