After watching my DVD a half Dozen times

I agree, Vic, and have always been in the Jack murdered camp. Lureen knows it which I take from the monotonic recitation of the accident, while Ennis is picturing what went on in his mind.

rtprod,
Just to keep terminology straight, until now, 'tire iron" has meant hate killing, as in "They took a tire iron to him," and "So now he knew it was the tire iron."
The accidental death version as recounted by Lureen, "The tire blew up, broke his jaw..." is the opposing view.
I am a tire ironist myself--by which I mean I believe it was no accident.

I've GOT to go back to the cult thread, which Andrew has lovingly archived, and look at the division between the 'tire-ironists' and ???. Like the division between the Junians and Septemberists.
Meryl - Oh High Priestess of the BBM Cult - help us out here!!

Nope, not me. I am in the "we don't know" camp. Nobody said it and we didn't see-nor did Ennis- it so it can't be "known". Even when Ennis thinks to himself "he knew" how could he??
It has been stated by Ang Lee that the flashback was indeed Ennis's, not Lureen's. He stated the entire scene was from Ennis's POV.
I'm not saying he wasn't murdered, I'm just saying from my perspective there is no reason to think that. The only reason that scenario comes into play is because of Ennis's experience with Rich as a child.

Hi Jimmy,
You are right -- I agree it it was the tire iron. I'll amend my post!
