a few points of clarification

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2006)

I can understand why a critic above said that he found this movie "numbing"... I watched it on Saturday/last night on my own and have experienced a myriad of emotions since, until this evening when I had to walk down my shoreline and be alone with my thoughts and my dog and some tears......the way they aged the characters was well-done too....so, when Ennis told Jack that he was "putting the blocks to" his new barmaid gal and Jack responded that he had taken up with some Ranch Forman's wife (I think he said), had he really taken up with the bearded man who was married to the little blonde talkative lady?? The bearded man had made an overture that night after the dinner club when the two men smoked outside - about going to a cabin to drink some whiskey and fish..........finally: was it Lureen/'s father that had those three men beat Jack to death because they (the former) were onto his bisexual philanderings?? Everything else makes sense to me.....How many of you feel that Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are totally straight in "real life"? John
