Question - I need opinions on this

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2006)

My husband and I are having a difference of opinion. How did Jack die? My husband believes that he was killed by the exploding tire, just like his wife said, and the brief film of a man being beaten was Ennis's flashback to the story he was told as a child. I thought that the wife actually knew that he was beaten to death (hence the brief film) and was lying to Ennis. What does everyone else think of this? I loved this film. I think that some homophobes don't because the film points out that this might happen to anyone in that circumstance, and not just to those who are openly homosexual. I thought that the love story was beautiful. What's important is not who you love, but THAT you love.
