The "I LOVE everything Jack" thread
richardg49:
I love the very characteristic way Jack makes his entrance into the film. As the train disappears into the distance, we see Jack's truck driving towards us, backfiring, the engine obviously in need of a tune-up. It lumbers into its parking place, backskids and then stalls. Jack gets out angrily, kicks the tyre and mutters 'S**t', before turning to notice Ennis standing there.
Even before we see Jack, we get the impression that he's the one who will be generating the humour in the film.

Welcome to BetterMost richardg49! Want a cup of coffee? And a piece of cherry cake?
Great detail. The tire on Jack's truck is one of my all-time favorite details in the movie.
OK, here's mine for tonight. I love that Jack is such a comfortable dancer. He makes it look effortless with LaShawn especially.

I think the subject line says it for me: I LOVE EVERYTHING JACK - do I have to pick just one? I love-love-love how he looks in the flashback scene. His face is so soft & beautiful. I also love how he may get discouraged but never gives up. Jake said about Jack, "He tries really hard."
Rayn:
Jack is the Dreamer and true Idealist, the balance to Ennis, the down-to-earth Realist. How could anyone not love him?! They were perfect for each other-- if only the times and circumstances had been better for them, but they were not.
Front-Ranger:
i love the scene where Jack in a bubbly way is describing how they can get their little cow&calf operation--"her dad would give me the down payment just to get lost, he as much as said it!" He's happy and thrilled while he's talking about how others put him down and humiliate him, but he doesn't let it get to him, not one bit!
