What is behind Jack and Ennis' hats?

He also wears a light-colored one when he drives up after the divorce, maybe showing that he thinks this is the point where he thinks they will be together? I don't know...

Something you said has triggered this thought .... could the lighter hats signify a new phase in their relationship? I mean, they are no longer on BBM and they will never be able to recapture that time (i.e. the complete freedom that BBM represented). Hmmmm .... :-\ . Other viewpoints??

Yes, in that terrible flashback, the first thing that happens is he is hit from behind, and his hat is knocked off. :(

I always close my eyes during this flashback, I cannot watch it.

But it's not really a "flashback." It's what Ennis thinks happened. Although it's amiguous, I do tend to think that is what happened. :'( No matter what, it is incredibly difficult to watch.

You're right, it's not a flashback. I stand corrected. :)
