The post-divorce scene observations
welliwont:
This scene is is soooo sad, poor Jack, :'( :'( :'(
so sure that loving Ennis and being with his one true love is worth any sacrifice, no hesitation.... I don't know how Jack survived this disappointment (disappointment doesn't even begin to describe). damn you Ennis!
Someone asked Jake in an interview (going by memory here, ::)) : "How did Jack die?" or something similar, and Jake answered (I am paraphrasing): "Jack starts to die the moment he realizes that he will never have the sweet life with Ennis". I think this is the moment, and I don't know how Jack ever had the strength to keep going back to Ennis for another eight years.

Actually, I think this was asked of Jake at the Aero screening back in February, right Elle/RouxB/Kirk/Thierrypie/any other lucky bastard I'm forgetting? I agree - this is the beginning of the end for Jack. And the fact that he survived this setback (using another inadequate word here) is just a testament, I think, to the depth of the fire of his existence. A lesser mortal surely wouldn't have lasted.

I think he love him so much take whatever Ennis would give. He as well as Ennis still lived for the few weeks a year they spent together.

"...you wear such nice clothes." Ever read that? Nah...of course, he leaves his jacket in the truck. It's warm in Juarez, even in the late winter.
