I love Jack for being very brave.  For pursuing what he wants and for complaining about what he feels is unfair.

I love Jack for swiping Ennis' bloody shirt and enshrining it within his all those years.  And I love, love, love the way he says, "Yeah," to Ennis' "I can't believe I left my shirt up there."
No more beans!

Jack Twist was/is a special person (even if he came from the mind of Annie Proulx).

Jack was willing to give up his life that had been like living a lie and be in a permanent relationship with Ennis Del Mar. But, he had to have Ennis willing to be in partnership with him.

Jack had it in his personality that he was not a loner and needed a companion to give him support for everything he did. His plans did not come to pass because he was only dreaming dreams; it was because for him to realize his dreams, he had to have a partner.

Thanks for that insight.
Maybe that is the message from Jack to me.
I think I got the message from Ennis earlier.
 ... but Jack's dreams needed a partner.
I have so many dreams, too.

I love Jack for being simultaneously a fun breath of fresh air AND wise and profound.

I love Jack's unabashed delight in his own music.

The harmonica is mentioned only one time in the original story and that was after it had been flattened after Jack fell off the bay mare. Jack was not the only singer in the AP story. They never complained about each other's music although neither was actually talented vocally. That's another thing to like about Jack while still being OT here.

I love Jack and Bobby in the combine together ...  :) ...
That is about the only time we see any Jack/Bobby interaction, other than at the Thanksgiving scene ...

I love Jack for winning that rodeo when he meets Lureen.  It's nice to see our Jack win once in a while...  :D

I love Jack's laugh.  I love the way it sounds like it's bubbling out of him like a rolling stream.
