The most profound quote for me was spoken in anger and despair by Cassie. "Girls don't fall in love with fun." But men do, Cassie. Love is not about wearing shorts and needing attention.
what did she fall in love with? She didn't even know him. She may have wanted him, but love? that's laughable. love would never hurt Ennis. She attacked him.
She was so tortured and so serious. If she had just listened to herself. This was an important point of the whole movie to me, the contrast between man/woman love and man/man love. Ennis and Jack had fun. The movie portrayed women so truthfully as to what we really are to men. Rarely are we fun.
Cassie needy
Alma boring
Lureen money driven
Mrs. Twist lonely housekeeper
LaShawn talk, talk, talk
Against this backdrop, Jack and Ennis lit up the screen with something magically delicious.
They had a relationship filled with amazing love, energy, humor and excitement. And in that mix was fun. They had fun... wrestling, skinny dipping, sharing, friendship, joking, laughing. What a brilliant script.
Let's all have more fun!
I love you... just the way you are... and I want nothing from you, except for you to be you.
