TOTW 06/09: What would you say to Ennis?

[LauraGigs]

Brokeback Mountain can be said to chronicle the life of Ennis del Mar — his thoughts, tastes, flaws, triumphs and mistakes.  His journey.  Most all the plot revolves around his actions, good or bad.  If you got a chance to speak with him, what would you say?  (Or would you just shoot the sh*t?)

You can choose any age: young Ennis, old Ennis, or any point in between.

[David In Indy]

Wow! Look at him sitting there staring at me like that! Now I feel all shy....

**blush**

What would I say to Ennis? I'd say, "Even though Jack is now gone, I hope you can find happiness in your life, sweet baby. And if you ever need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to lean on here's my phone number".

I've always hoped Ennis somehow found happiness. I doubt he did. I've always hoped he found a few like-minded people to lean on when the going got rough.

This is what I would say to Ennis, just before he said good-bye to Jack after their time on Brokeback.

"Dont say good-bye to Jack. Get your arse in that old truck of his, and forget about getting maried to Alma, and spend the rest of your life being happy setting up a small cow n calf operation with Jack"

[Monika]

My very first reaction would be to say "What the f**k were you thinking, Ennis?"



But before it went that far, my braind would probably kick in, and I iwould instead say "society is wrong, Ennis. I know it´s hard, but you have to do what YOU want. Screw society. You only got one life. Go and be with Jack."

[Brokeback_Dev]

I would definitely tell him to not to let Jack go when they come down from Brokeback mountain.  You cant help who you love, stop being so stubborn.

When Jack says, "Tell you what... sometimes... I miss you so much I can hardly stand it,"  I'd smack Ennis on the head and say "Smarten up, and say something, ya dumbass!"

[Front-Ranger]

I would say, "Your father's a jerk, pay no attention to him." Maybe it would make him realize what he already knew inside.

And send him chocolates every Valentine's day until he figures it out...! heh heh.

Ennis' problems, IMO, are that:

1. He's afraid of getting killed for being homosexual
2. He's a poor communicator
3. He's not a good problem-solver

1963!Ennis:

First I would tell him that being a sexual minority is not a death sentence. And I would point out that David and I have been together all this time and never had anyone threaten us. Then, I would tell him how to break the news to Alma. After that, I would tell him to tell Jack that he loves him, and ask if he could move up with LF to work on the Twist ranch.

1970s!Ennis:

"Give Jack the keys to your shack, drop the girls off with Alma, and then come back and talk to Jack."

AfterJack!Ennis:

What David said...minus the "sweet baby" stuff.
