As Easter nears, no Easter in Annie's story or the BM movie?? But??

[Front-Ranger]

I think that I get that Easter egg thing, but isn't that a myth like paradise in the bible is since its associated with sin as a result of loving oneself and another person??
 

Yes, I think you're right that it is a myth, but I don't know about "sin." I am not very clear about the concept of sin...does it have to do with innate ideas about right and wrong, or is it more about the order that people are trying to impose on other people so that the ruling people can be more comfortable and secure? I'm leaning toward the latter.

The thing about time is that it flows. An interesting sentence in the story describes the ascent of the mountain:

Ennis and Jack, the dogs, the horses and mules, a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water through the timber and out above the tree line into the great flowery meadows and the coursing, endless wind.

Everything flowed UP the trail, and backwards away from time, into the endless wind, where time did not exist.

I do like that sentence.

Thanks to all of you!!

Is Easter a sin in the BM movie, or otherwise??

Like of different parts... of the BM movie can be considered about that!!

Let's start with this:
FIRSTLY
If I consider, Ennis and Jack up the BM mountain as Easter, then they were in sin or otherwise?

What do you think?

Au revoir,
hugs!

As I was thinking about Aguirre and reading this, I had an epiphany (and epiphany was just two days ago!). We see the three crosses as Ennis alights from the truck at the beginning of his sojourn. If two of the crosses are for the "two deuces," that is, Ennis and Jack, then who is the third cross for??

Merci  beaucoup Front-Ranger !

You are right !

Plus, I am starting to figure out that the Brokeback Mountain
is an Easter story!

Do you too?

So glad that you are posting Front-Ranger!

Au revoir,
hugs!

I love revisiting this old thread.

Del, I did not remember your vehement denial of BBM as an Easter story and my favorite symbol, the scales, specifically. I will try to giveThis more thought this season.

Can the BrokebackMountain story and/or movie be seen in many ways as an Easter  one?
