Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie
Artiste:
Is this in Annie's story too?

Or just in the BM movie?

Artiste,
The short story includes the lines:
The sheep trucks and horse trailers unloaded at the trailhead and a bandy-legged Basque showed Ennis how to pack the mules, two packs and a riding load on each animal ring-lashed with double diamonds and secured with half hitches, telling him, "Don't never order soup. Them boxes a soup are real bad to pack."

Ranger I think that Aguirre's employee is warning Ennis about the size of the bulk of the soup boxes, I am assuming that the soup would be dehydrated soup packaged into boxes. There could be deeper meaning to the word "soup", I know I have heard certain bodily excretions referred to as "soup". and the word "packing" can also mean something within a sexual context as well. any thoughts?

I think the horse that we see Ennis carving and the horse-with-rider he later picks up in Jack's room are both metaphoric, but they are also both perfectly natural in their contexts.

good point about the symbolism in the "horse with rider" toy and the carved horse, perhaps they are symbolic of unfulfilled childhood dreams, also you have just prompted me into seeing another piece of the film's palindromic structure. Ive got to update that thread one of these days.
;D

Well, I am at a loss here, but this line of thought is very interesting and seems to offer some answers where I never found any before!
