Topic: Describe Ennis and Jacks Love in 1 word only?

[vedrana]

Passionate?

[tpe]

Passionate?

Yes, that is very apt.

Also:

deep.

[vedrana]

Yes, that is very apt.

Also:

deep.

For so ultimate and complicated love one word is surely not enough, but we all say what we feel as the most significant. Deep? Yes, very deep! I like the word!

[myprivatejack]

Indestructible.     (Is it well said?)

[vedrana]

Indestructible.     (Is it well said?)

 

Well said!

[smartestsonia]

Indestructible.     (Is it well said?)

Thanks MJP ..it is so true..no worldly force nor even death can destroy it

[tpe]

For so ultimate and complicated love one word is surely not enough, but we all say what we feel as the most significant. Deep? Yes, very deep! I like the word!

There is a related word that goes so well with this: ineffable.

[vedrana]

Few days ago I used another word, and is also quite near: IMMENSE

Ineffable is good ( even I had to check it up first )

 

[trekfan]

torrid is good.

[andyley]

I think... strong or overbearing

[lancecowboy]

I think... strong or overbearing

Yes! I agree. In fact, it occurs to me now that you mentioned it, the movie is about their love, and it is overwhelming, overpowering precisely because their love is so strong, so overbearing, so overwhelming, so overpowering. 

[andyley]

lancecowboy I was thinking exactly that when I think "strong"

[lancecowboy]

lancecowboy I was thinking exactly that when I think "strong"

That's what I love about this place. Like FlwrChild and Atalley said in other threads, there is always someone else who understands how I feel, and express it perfectly. 

[orangetruck]

Eh... captivating.

[tpe]

I think... strong or overbearing

Yes! I agree. In fact, it occurs to me now that you mentioned it, the movie is about their love, and it is overwhelming, overpowering precisely because their love is so strong, so overbearing, so overwhelming, so overpowering. 

I would prefer lance's "overpowering" to "overbearing", but I know what you mean, andyley.  There is a degree of hubris in the story that sows the seeds of later destruction.  That is the essence of tragedy.

[tpe]

Eh... captivating.

As in "captive".

[orangetruck]

As in "captive".

Of course. Given the context of the story, one can see that not only was their love beautiful but also a trap.

Captivating in every sense.

[BlueMountain]

Magical

[andyley]

everlasting, timeless

[tpe]

Of course. Given the context of the story, one can see that not only was their love beautiful but also a trap.

Captivating in every sense.

You word reminded me of Proust's understanding of the "captive."  A bit too involved to get into in this thread, but I thank you for calling it to mind.  It was a powerful association, if I might say so...

[tpe]

I feel pessimistic at the moment.  Could I say this? 

Doomed.

[andyley]

you can be pessimistic... I was thinking lethal... that´s is pessimistic

[gothica_vanessa]

Of course. Given the context of the story, one can see that not only was their love beautiful but also a trap.

Captivating in every sense.

nice one !
