Jack's Ramblings

Oh wow, a place where I can post my ramblings :)

For some reason after seeing BBM at the Castro a line that Jack says has stuck in my mind and I don't even know why. It is when he and Ennis are talking about the Pentecost and Heath asks Jack what that means. Jack answers him in a way that seems different from any other time throughout the movie. He says, "The Pentecost, I don't know what the Pentecost means." He seems to become rather speechless and to me has a sad, confused look on his face and an unusual tone in his voice. Has anyone else noticed this? It could be that this has already been brought up somewhere, but I have no idea where it would be located :)

Hey Jack, congratulations on your own Ramblings!
I hope that someone who attended the Castro event will be able to either confirm or disconfirm what you heard regarding that line. Next time I watch BBM I will listen for it as well.
It reminded of another point in the movie where I think this also occurs. In the 'Sweet Life' scene, the one line that strikes me as asynchronous is Jack's "..every four f*ng years?" I don't know if it is the pitch or the rate at which the line is delivered, but it never meshes for me. At that part my brain always kinds of goes "whoa", because the tone (not the content) always sounds out of place to me. I wonder if anyone else experiences this?

I kind of wrote that off to his being drunk, and it always struck me funny his mother would never explain what it ment.
But in time, she did demonstrate it to Ennis, laying her hand on him, comforting him when she recognized who he was.

I'm not rambling much. I need to pick this up and run with it ;) I don't know about the rest of you, but I am still having a hard time getting used to the idea of real life, working, taking classes and all those things. I do believe SF did me better than I realized at the time. Ever since then I can't seem to get away from the forum. Have I become addicted? Well, if so, it is a good addiction. It truly is because you all are such a great group of people. Lee has made many comments about this in his blog and I must agree with his observations. San Francisco seemed like such a far away and magical place to me. I have always heard so much about it and I had this idea I would not like it. That turned out not to be true. There was this good feeling in the air that I have not felt before. I have a few regrets in that at times I was worried about things in another part of the world where someone supposed to be special to me lives. Those worries made me disappear at times mentally and physically so I could make sure I could talk to them. Looking back I should not have done that and allowed myself to get more absorbed into what was going on around me. I did to a point and a lot at some points. However, with such great people around me and being in such a great place I should have allowed myself to throw all those worries to the wind. One day I will learn I hope. I reallly do think sometimes it's hard for some of us, especially those of us from down here in the South, to realize other worlds exist. It is very true that we get taught here from a very early age how wrong we are and told the right things we should do. Beyond the someone special I think that will cause me at times to withdraw and maybe question myself and my surroundings more than I should.
