Topic: Were Ennis and Jack in love with a reality or with a memory,an illusion,a hope?

[myprivatejack]

Coming back to this not so old thread,would you say that-letting aside the love that,doubtless,they felt for each other-Ennis lived from memories of the past and Jack lived from hopes-even if each time more and more blurred-for the future?.I mean,that they "orned" their  love with these situations for making their lives a little more pleasant? Seeing that they weren't going to live this "sweet life" in their present times...

In my oponion both are really always loved.

I believe that the thing perpetual their love how in the beginning it's the separation almost constant during 20 years. It is the distance that gives force the love, one of the greatnesses of BBM.

How chameau said, it's enough  watching the last meeting: Ennis goes tremendously jealous and Jack, when sees Ennis desperate and crying, quickly goes to console to him, Jack cannot see suffering her love .

Even when old Twist speaks about Jack's neighbor from Texas, Ennis containing  tears, doesn't get upset, isn't bothered, even tries to smile: THAT WAS MY JACK!
