This scene is is soooo sad, poor Jack,  :'( :'( :'(

so sure that loving Ennis and being with his one true love is worth any sacrifice, no hesitation....  I don't know how Jack survived this disappointment (disappointment doesn't even begin to describe).  damn you Ennis!

Someone asked Jake in an interview (going by memory here,  ::)) :  "How did Jack die?"  or something similar, and Jake answered (I am paraphrasing):  "Jack starts to die the moment he realizes that he will never have the sweet life with Ennis".  I think this is the moment, and I don't know how Jack ever had the strength to keep going back to Ennis for another eight years.

Then the clouds opened up and God said, "I hate you, Alfafa."

Actually, I think this was asked of Jake at the Aero screening back in February, right Elle/RouxB/Kirk/Thierrypie/any other lucky bastard I'm forgetting?  I agree - this is the beginning of the end for Jack.  And the fact that he survived this setback (using another inadequate word here) is just a testament, I think, to the depth of the fire of his existence.  A lesser mortal surely wouldn't have lasted.
No more beans!

I think he love him so much take whatever Ennis would give. He as well as Ennis still lived for the few weeks a year they spent together.
Thank you Heath and Jake for showing us Ennis and Jack,  teaching us how much they loved one another.

"...you wear such nice clothes." Ever read that? Nah...of course, he leaves his jacket in the truck. It's warm in Juarez, even in the late winter.
