Ennis' non-vomiting

<< < (7/7)

I'll make sure to remove the headphones at the appropriate time. ;) Not gonna spoil my illusions, nuh-uh.

Front-Ranger:
Okay, what he really says is, "This ain't no rodeo, cowboy" as he grabs the rope and pulls Jack toward him. Just wanted to clear that up! It's amazing the tricks your memory can play when you're going over and over something in your mind!

Front-Ranger:
We have exhausted this topic--NOT!!

Another bump for a cool thread.

    It is good to see this kind of thread reactivated.   
It has been ages since we actually discussed the movie.
 
    I had always thought that Ennis was so depressed. and put out with Jack, because
he was deeply reflecting the reality of the situation.  He wanted as much as Jack
did to have a life together.  He was wondering if he could disappoint Alma,
go back on his ingrained reaction to the death he saw, and  put it all together. In order to come to the conclusion that he  so desperately craved.  Thus when Jack tried jovially to bring him out of his funk.  He reacted with anger.  (I am sure in his mind, he could not see how under the circumstances, Jack could be so light hearted.)  He had so much emotion bottled up inside, that he simply erupted.  I think it even surprised him.  Thus the reason that he felt the need to apologize four years later for his actions.  Even if it was not outright.  He obviously had been sorry for it, for the entire time they were separated.  "He more or less said it."  He obviously figured out, too late by aplenty, "that I should have never let you out of my sights."
