Question About Jacks Death

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2006)

OK, this is my very first message board EVER! I loved this movie, it was a nice fresh of breath air comparing to other gay theme films. I would go into it but as i have read, i seen others have already. What i wanted to know is, after reading the short story and seeing the film. Does Ennis THINK Jack died that way or what his wife was saying is true??
I talked to different people and they given me different responses. The way i read it from the story, its the same as the movie when Ennis is on the phone BUT he THINKS he got killed by others. I don't know just the way it was done in the movie, it seemed as though he dies by others killing him but it could have been Ennis thinking it only. I was not sure about it.
All i know is with this movie, it stayed in my mind for DAYS, even the MUSIC! A movie setup so SIMPLE and yet is MORE complicated than it really is. That is what i LOVED about it the most. It set so much boundaries and leaves you open to discussion about so many things from politics, to the 60's to, well, LOVE. ALl i know is it won for best picture at the golden globes and i HOPE it wins the same for the academy awards as well.
Also, is it just me, or did Heaths accent remind u of SlingBlades character??
What do YA'LL ThinK??
