"I figured you were sore from that punch"

--- Quote from: dly64 on July 08, 2006, 09:24:19 pm --- if Jack would have been angry or upset, I don't think he would have taken Ennis' shirt. He wanted a part of Ennis ... not just his shirt, but his blood. IMO, Jack shows devastation right before their parting. His eyes … almost pleading to Ennis … “I might be back …” in hopes that Ennis will join him again the following summer.

You're absolutely right! Hey, I can change my mind, too. I keep forgetting about the shirts (duh -- like they're an minor insignificant little prop). If his behavior doesn't show it, the shirts are the proof of how Jack felt on that day.

I agree with this, too. Ennis hopes that Jack will take some action, as he had in the past. Not necessarily that if Jack had said, "Hey Ennis, screw the wedding, let's run off together, it'd be a sweet life" there's much hope Ennis would go for it. But it might have changed things ... somehow. At the very least, maybe made their parting less fraught. Maybe led them to figure out their next time to meet. Maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe caused Ennis to rethink the ill-starred wedding idea.

I wish, wish, wish ... but it never happens! Sometimes I think the outcome will change ... but as we know, it never will.

Don't tell me that! I'm thinking that if I keep watching it and watching it, then someday, it will end differently ...

I keep wishing Jack would have gone around the block when leaving Signal and he would have been the cowboy that found Ennis on his knees in that alcove.
