I continue here, as I had clicked too soon:
Please re-read, as I have added:
b]Thanks[/b] BBM-Cat 2006!!
You bring
too a very interesting perspective!!
Great!!
And I find now that this question is
much more demanding that I thought, at first!!
It certainly is not a
rotten apple in a barrel of apples, as one (as myself) or most (or some) persons might think!!??
I say that as most, even myself at first, disliked Mr. Twist!! That scene when Jack's visit Mr. and Mrs. Twist's home after Jack's death is heartbreaking!! And we feel that Jack's dad is heartless,
somewhat, maybe??
The question remains:
How did Jack's father know about Brokeback Mountain?? This may seem simple, and now I find it complex!! Wow! Wwow!
Here is your comment:
Art - I think you bring up a very interesting perspective - certainly one I had never thought of before. We know that Aguirre and Jack's mom were in contact at least two times while Jack and Ennis were up on the mountain. I am going to assume, like most mothers, that Jack's mom had to have asked him at least once how Jack was. I can surmise that Aguirre would not have overtly said anything about Jack and Ennis' intimacy - but it could have been intimated - maybe something like, 'well he sure is getting along well with that Ennis Del Mar fellow'. I could then imagine Jack's mom relates the (phone) conversation to Jack's father. I am assuming they spoke by phone (Aguirre and Jack's mom) - maybe not though - she could have written a lettter and mailed it in care of the employment agency.

You say:
am going to assume, like most mothers, that Jack's mom had to have asked him at least once how Jack was ! I think you are absolutely right, as this would have been the curtesy!!
Minimum civil curtesy, at least!! Your assume right, I say!! And, we must NOT forget if there were PLUSES to that; which plus, plus??
Did Jack's mother really communicated
twice with Acquire?? Any proof?? Book and/or movie??
Like you (if I may say), I feel that Acquire did possibly or probably
intimated Jack's and Ennis' relationship!!
There seems to be proof to this!! ??
Proof from Acquire....
Proof from Jack's father...
And some other persons...
Love your word:
intimated here. And think that is a
wonderful clue!!
You must be a detective??
(May I ask if you like cats??)
