Characters, Quotes & Scenes / “Water Walking Jesus”
« Last post by choompty on Jul 12, 2024, 05:08 PM »
When first reading the book, I just assumed the song ‘Water Walking Jesus’ was a real one, especially seeing that there’s a moment of Jack singing it in the movie. I tried looking it up and realized it is NOT a real song (in the sense that it was a church hymn from back in the day) haha were there ever full lyrics of the song, or music, posted?

In the short story, there’s a line during the scene where Jack and Ennis meet back up after the four years of not seeing each other that confuses me a little. “Christ, it got a be all that time a yours ahorseback makes it so god damn good…” said by Jack. Is it implying that Ennis was on the receiving end that scene, or is it something else?

It's been 20 years since the movie and we're still adding new things to the personality pool of the characters 😍 that's why it's a classic, actually you can say Ennis had obsessions or something but if you want to add a word I would say ennis jacksuel

Do you think this movie is Ennis' great love and not Jack's? Because we're not talking about who Ennis is going to choose, we're talking about who Jack is going to choose, because he's a man with a big appetite, and by the way, when it comes to Cassie etc. we think Ennis is in love with Jack, but when it comes to Jack we say he loves Randalli, but there's a saying, you grow old with what's next to you and you die with what's on your mind, and Jack Sweet lived his life that way.

I don't know if it's the right place to post my question,and maybe the subject has been talked before, but I was wondering if someone knows how Heath and Jake met each other?
Thanks!

Yup.
W/o going too much off topic here, it could be fantasized that both these young men used this filming experience (and I'm talking about the entire film here) as a way to live out and explore some hidden fantasizes of their own that they otherwise either didn't feel comfortable or confident with or even understand (they were still young). I suspect that this may happen often with actors and actresses who really "get into" a role that portrays behavior that otherwise would be beyond their own limits in terms of their own self perception. Both of these men were (or are  :_() very secure in themselves, but this is still (even in 2016 let alone 2004) a large river to cross in many ways. The way Jake and Heath bonded during this filming experience is well documented and I guess one would need to review the filming sequence to see when this scene (SNIT) was shot and how it falls in the bigger scheme of things to really know, but the emotional attraction is surely there. One cannot but help to wonder if the idea of an actual sexual encounter did not occur to either or both of them. The glory of this is that that the real emotional content of this was captured by Ang and he saw it and felt it was important to show us this on the screen. As has been said many times here before by us "oldtimers" this is truly a movie on which "the stars fell", there is no other explanation. How lucky we are to have lived in these times!

Director Lee, in an interview in 2021, said that Heath and Jake had a character conflict and sometimes he mediated it himself, Heath was very compassionate towards Michelle and critical towards Jake, which was in his mind because Heath was very compassionate towards Michelle and critical towards Jake, which was already confirmed that after the Brokeback promotions were over, we didn't see much together, if anything, there was michelle, brokeback wasn't much of a paradise. Even in Lee's mind, he was in his mind because Heath was extremely fond of michelle. .

He wouldn't be as ruined as Ennis and would continue his search for the sweet life.

I have always thought that Ennis was much more than just shy. His complex character was probably a combination of many things in his life and maybe your take on him could very well be added to the list. Thank you for sharing this idea.
