Topic: What was Ennis's message on the Postcard - possible spoiler

[jackster]

Is that postcard in the closet NOT one of those he received from Jack? I always thought that gives more meaning to his little caress with his thumb, like the way Jack used to caress his ear when he was upset by the river. . . .

Oh, good Lord, I never thought of that!
In the SS Ennis goes to a store and buys the postcard, so I've always made the leap that that is what happens in the film too.

Sorry, dude, didn't mean to make you cry, or bring on PBS to anyone again. I just love the movie to bits, and every detail has so much meaning and power for me. I'd like to think Ennis kept all the postcards Jack ever sent. It's like the way he mouthed every word on that first postcard, savoring the pleasuring of the reunion, and smiling the whole time. I can't imagine him throwing out 'em messages of love...
