How do you figure? Did I miss something?

First, Jack was clearly cruising the guy. Then remember later when Jack's parents revealed that he had said he intended to bring a buddy up to clean up the ranch? Well...
Plus the original story IIRC is somewhat more specific.

  *Jack was clearly cruising the guy*
  I thought this was left ambiguous. No dialog between the two indicated Jack was cruising the guy. I remember the conversation being mundane, where Jack was even complaining about why wives always take a powder when they arrive and when they leave a place. I haven't read the story but the screenplay didn't hint at any physical feelings Jack had for this guy.
  *Then remember later when Jack's parents revealed that he had said he intended to bring a buddy up to clean up the ranch?*
  I thought the parents were recalling Jack's ruminations about Ennis and the plans he had with Ennis in mind. I felt the parents telling this to Ennis was a good way to get a bittersweet moment.
  Maybe not.
  I'll have to watch again. Thanks for the response!
  - Also, remember, Jack was always the initiator. nt - clarkjohnsen 15:39:18 01/04/06 (0)
