My take on this isso much different than many of you.
Ennis del Mar: I'm gonna tell you this one time, Jack f***in' Twist, an' I ain't foolin'. What I don't know - all them things I don't know - could get you killed if I come to know them. I ain't jokin'.
I thought about this when it was happening and to me it was not a love moment but a frightening veiled threat
Now remember when Ennis gets the postcard back? When he makes the call he is calm. (OK many people can be calm when they fear the worse) BUT it was almost like Ennis KNEW that Jack was dead.
What if Ennis found out all about the other men in Jack's life and went ballistic?
Jack frequented Mexico looking for sex, and who knows where else? Ennis basically stayed pretty much asexsual.
Have to say though that whenhe was in bed and turned his wife over, well it got me HOT:
BTW I love the name ENNIS!!!!
