Just curious: 3 besides myslef indicate they're over 60--anyone but me 70? (he he, old ladies with juice...click to enlarge

I am 43. And I suppose Ennis is just a little too young for me.
But if you factor the time/year Brokeback Mountain took place, he really wouldn't be too young.
Ennis would be about 62 now? I bet he would still be cute! :)

I'm turning 21 in about a week..

Julie,
I just noticed your post. I've met a couple of women here who I believe are in their 70's - kick-ass insightful and beautiful people. However, I checked their profiles and because their ages were not listed, it's not for me to 'out' them ;)
Maybe bumping this will give them a nudge to get in touch with you?

You bet he would! Ennis is beautiful throughout the movie, and I love that playful little hunched-over glance he gives as Alma Jr. drives up to his trailer at the end. There's still such life and spirit in that cowboy, which is why it breaks my heart to imagine him going through the remainder of his life alone. :'(
I'm thirty-nine, by the way (the same age Jack was when he died); I participated in the poll some time ago, but never posted a verbal reply until now.

Scott... don't you just love those eyes? Ennis may get older (don't we all?) but he will always look good, and those eyes will always be beautful. :)

Yes, Ennis would be about 62 now - I certainly don't have any age hangups (hell, I'm 50) and I bet Ennis would look just fine at 62. I can't imagine him being alone for the rest of his life either - what a crime that would be. I'd like to try and heal some of the pain we see in his eyes.
;)

Gregg - Those eyes of his break my heart every time. They do look like they are full of pain. I always hoped Ennis at least found some friends who could accept him for who he was. I'm like you though.... I hate to think of Ennis all alone. It is so sad! :'(

Hey Kelda! I really enjoy being in the same bracket with such young and handsome folks like yourself. But, I'm afraid, I will have to leave there soon... ;D

Hmm, So let me do a little mental arithmetic here, Katherine. ;) :)
Jack & Ennis were 19 in 1963, meaning they were born in 1944, meaning Ennis is presently 63 (Jack deceased :'( ).
Guess that must make you 51. Am I close? ??? :D
-
Wow!
That was good Kerry!
Hey ya'll ! We have a mathematician in our midsts!! :laugh:
I'm not sure if Katherine wanted you to do all that cipherin' though! ;)
I was just a baby when Jack and Ennis first went up on Brokeback Mountain. About 1, I think. :D

Seems most everyone on Earth is younger than me these days!!! ;) ;) ;) :laugh:
As my dear old Mum used to say, "Every age has its compensations," and I have to agree with her on that. :D

Lord, Please tell me what they are.
So far I haven't found any!
Just limitations. I can't drink like I used to, I can't stay up as late as I used to, I can't lisyen to music asloud as i used to.LOL
Reminds me of Toby Keiths song that says "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was"! LOL

That's a very thought-provoking post, Lee. :D
Here are a few of the "compensations" for me, at age 57:
* I'm now financially secure and no longer have any money worries.
* I will retire next year and never have to work again.
* As a consequence of my retirement, I will never again have to be in the company of people I don't like; e.g., at work.
* I'm very comfortable with myself now and have accepted myself for the person I am, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
* Thank goodness the rampant hormones of my youth have died down and I no longer feel compelled to constantly be on the make.
* I am satisfied with my few, trusted, beloved friends. I no longer have a need to be surround by mindless sycophants.
* I no longer have the compelling need to constantly be in search of "fun". I love my own company and love being at home - my sanctuary.
* I have accepted my mortality.
* I love my life, a claim I could not have made in my youth.
That's just a few of my "compensations". What are some of yours? :D

Um, well ... close. Only two years off. You would have been right except that ... I hate to admit this, but ... I did the arithmetic wrong!
::) :-\ [blushing smiley]
The way I figured it was, Ennis and Jack were 19 in 1963. I was thinking I turned seven in 1963 because, well, I was born in 1957, and 63 minus 57 makes seve -- er, uh ... well ... six. Also, my birthday hasn't occurred yet this year, so actually in June of '63 I would have only been five.
So oops, I guess I'm actually 14 years younger than J & E.
And here I thought I was being so dang clever!! What can I say, it's been a while since I took a math class ... ??!
