"Jack, I swear..." What do you think Ennis meant by that?

Artiste:
You must tell me when you do come to Canada: Quebec province so you and I, and others can meet.

And, honestly I can see how that mistake could be made if you were a first time viewer and/or hadn't read the story.

Hello all,

I got some mail saying there's been recent activity on this thread so I came over to see what the buzz was all about.

Someone said if you listen very carefully with volume turned up, when Ennis presses the shirts in the closet to his face, he says, "I love you."   I can't hear that, nor did I ever hear "I'll swear" in the last line...  Just a comment bringing the thread back to topic.

The elusive 'I love you' in the closet I think will remain one of the great unresolved contested issues among fans of the film. There are those who swear it is there, but agree that it is barely discernable. I've never caught it myself, and if it is barely discernable, it arguably makes little if any impact on the casual viewer and their reception/interpretation of the work. I'd prefer it not to be there--it would detract from the final 'Jack, I swear', which is, among other things, Ennis's affirmation of love.

Artiste:
He says both: Jack i swear... I love!!

That seems that to me!!

Hugs!!

I agree Moremojo!  There really isn't any need for "an inaudible" statement of love when it's clear to anyone that Ennis loves Jack.
