dear latjoreme
yes there really is asanta clausI mean "I love everything Jack's Mom" thread
It was burried on page 9
So I'm bumping it back to the forefront, seeing as IMDb doesn't take care of its own anymore
I Love Jack's Mom for saying so much in such a small amount of time
Care to comment about having this thread (and other "I love everything .." threads) moved to the BBM Games & Quizzes section? Hunh?!?
I love Jack's mom because she allowed herself to acknowledge and accept the relationship between her son and Ennis. As a Pentecostal woman-that was a couragous thing to do. I grew up in the Pentecostal church. Let me tell you, homosexuality is about the worst "sin" in their view. There are some wonderful aspects of the church. But tolerance is not one of them. My grandmother and my father were two of the most honest and decent people i have ever known. They tried to live the best life they could. They followed the Pentcostal dogma though. So sadly, they missed the experience of knowing people of many beliefs and walks of life-because those people didnt conform to the church's view of what was "right".
Interesting response and background, TJ. I can understand and/or accept most of what U wrote except that Mrs. Twist could not know that her son Jack was Gay -- and he was and she knew it -- and then consider his boyfriend as "not Gay". ???

TJ, why is it that the only person here whom you allow to assume anything about these characters seems to be you? Just wondering.
It's interesting how we can assume something about fictional people like Mrs. John C. Twist (or even other story characters) from a movie and "guess" exactly what they were supposed to have known and yet never met any person like the fictional character.
Thanx, Barb, for also telling it like it is. (Where's Leslie? Send her over.)
Mrs. Mary Twist did everything but have it engraved on her forehead: My son is Gay and I know it! "Jackie" was Gay. He was! U noticed that when he went slaging in MeXico, he dint need a road map of the Gay alleys! Mrs. Twist as a mother probably knew her son was G-A-Y from the time that Lil' Jackie was 5 or less. BTW, your parents being Pentecostal has nada to do w/ BBM or this Board!
And TJ, dont talk "fictional characters" or U really, IMUHO, dont belong here at all. Next U'll be telling us that Mrs. Twist breathed air.
I love Jack's Mom with her careworn face and her heart in her eyes....she seemed kind of sad and desperate when she asked Ennis if he would stop by again sometime to visit...of course, we all know Ennis never will. Can you imagine how much Jack's Mom would have loved it if the old man wasn't there and she could have had a long heart to heart talk with Ennis about her son? To see Mrs. Twist and Ennis alone at that table, hugging and crying... Breaks my heart to think about it. :'(I like to think that Ennis did go back, perhaps to work the ranch in Jacks place after Mr Twist passed as his way of honoring Jack and the kindness his mother gave him. This is where he would have felt closest to Jack.
