Hi. I wondered about the ending too. I,ve gone over and over it and to be honest, the more you think about, the more it doesn't really make sense. If you have a flat tyre, it,s because you have a puncture, so how can a tyre with a hole in it be pumped up let alone blow up. Also I think that the "flashback" we see is how Ennis imagined it, as soon as Lureen mentioned a tyre, because of the tyre iron incident with the guy when he was a kid. I think, I may be wrong, but I think, it had something to do with Lureens dad. Remember he hated Jack from day one. He was never good enough for his precious daughter, he was a rodeo cowboy and he probably did find out he was gay, maybe from that rancher, I don't know. I think that maybe he had him threatened and beaten up, and told to get lost and never come back, and then let everyone think he was dead because it was easier that way. IF it was an accident as was said, why couldn't we see it? Then we would have known for sure. There was no reason why we couldn't see that, IF thats what really happened, and I don't think it did. I still think it,s a great film either way, but it needs some sort of closure, and we haven't had that. Plus the author said herself in some interviews she did about the film that people are sick and tired of disasters and unhappy endings, and what do we get? Another disaster. She,s right, we ARE sick of misry and unhappy endings. Sure, they would be obsticles to overcome, as there are in any relationship, more so with two men probably, but after everything they,d been through, after 20 years, for crying out loud, WHY couldn't they end up together? Everything does not ALWAYS have to end in disaster. Happy endings DO happen in real life too, only occasionally I know but they do. For Gods sake, bring them back and give us and them a happy ending. I think after all that they deserve it, and so do we. I shall keep watching it though because in places it makes me cry laughing, but it annoys me knowing it,s all going to end in tears every time I do.
