p.s. i still say it's "broken too" cause harmonicas don't break in two very easily!!
sparkle_motion:
See, you guys always come up with new interesting stuff! I always thought it was "broke too".
slayers_creek_oth:
I learned a lot today by watchin it with the subtitles.....it was hard to understand Ennis in some scenes and it made it a hell of a lot easier....
Still confused as hell over that whole "I'm sorry.........s'alright" thing though...
dmmb_Mandy:
I'll do that indeed, Jenny. ;D
PS - I thought a lot about this actually. For him to say "broken too", the "too" implies that something else broke first? But what would have broken first - Jack when the horse threw him? *shrugs*
:-*
Chris (slayers): I still stand by "S'alright" three times, said by Jack. F*uck te subtitles, hehe ;D
ruthlesslyunsentimental:
I think the harmonica continues the Jack as Wind metaphor. It's a wind instrument that only plays when someone blows wind into it. Jack plays "He Was a Friend of Mine" a couple of times -- foreshadowing his own death.
I think Ennis' comment about the harmonica breaking in two is symbolic of Jack's death and the fact that he was broken in two... half of his ashes in Texas and half of them in Lightning Flat.
I'm new here so if this has been mentioned before...
