Thanks!


--- Quote --- Brokeback Mountain - Jack and Ennis are so in love, they are so happy around each other, they need each other so much. But cause of societies in Morales and intolerance of there certain freedom they can't have it. Ennis fears it. Jack yearns for it. They both want this peace and freedom. But it's Jack that only wants to fight for it. He tries endlessly to bring Ennis along on the ride. But when twenty years has passed, he goes else where fr it. And it's in his search that makes brings him to his demise.

Yes, Ennis and Jack did not go to those levels to achieve there freedom. But in contrast to NCFOM do you think they would have gone to those levels to achieve it? I could see Jack whipping babies as he said. So maybe, instead of looking at a film like NCFOM likes a violent holocaust. Rather as a expression of how far people can nad could go. Do i believe Jack would have murdered someone t o have Ennis. YES.

I think people need to stop thinking about how violent the film is, (I'm not deluded, i know it's violent) But the movies more of a expression of mankind and what we as humans are capable of. The desperation to seek and fight for the things we value. Yes it was about money. But what f it was his son. Or it was someone he loved.

Anyway, personally, i love the film. I'm going to see again on Friday. If you hire or buy it on DVD anytime in the future. Watch it from a different perspective and i'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as i did.

 ;D ;D ;D

Really?
Why do you say that?

"Joseph Golden":
Remember when they were sitting on the chairs before they had that fight. In the book Jack turns to him and says sometimes i miss you so hard i could whip babies. Now i know it's a figure of speech. But do you believe him when he says it?

That's showing us his desperation for Ennis.

I know it would never come to Jack having to murder someone. But if all he had to do was murder one of the homophobes in the world to get what he wants. Sure he would.

After all they killed him for there Freedom and Peace.
