tragedy of love

Hope 2022-04-20 09:01:12

I was young when I watched this movie and didn't understand what their identities and feelings meant. I just remembered that after Jack died, Ennis hung his usual shirt and jeans in the closet and stared blankly. At that time, I was in my heart. felt sadness. Before Jack died, he and Ennis already had their own families, and they had two children. I remember they only saw each other once a year. Ennis's actions when the tragedy happened made me think that they still had "deep feelings" for each other. This kind of thing... In fact, looking at it now, their behavior is also deeply hurt to the wife. I remember that Ennis likes to back in when he is having sex with his wife, and his wife is actually very disgusted and very sensitive. To the point that it was inappropriate, but he kept forbearing, perhaps the environment did not allow the existence of homosexuality. In order to survive, the pain of two men eventually turned into the pain of two families.

More than ten years have passed, and a lot of progress has been made in the fight for the legalization of homosexuality around the world, and more and more people have realized that homosexuality is not a disease. Like heterosexuality, it is a normal love that occurs between two people, but no matter what. Whether it is intellectually acceptable or not, in fact, homosexuality is still a discriminated person, and has always been under enormous pressure in society. Of course, this is also related to many homosexual behaviors such as uncleanness, promiscuity, cheating marriage and other bad behaviors. Anyway, I hope that one day in the future, this kind of family tragedy due to personal orientation will not happen again.

  • John Twist: Jack used to say, "Ennis Del Mar," he used to say; "I'm gonna bring him up here one of these days, and we'll lick this damn ranch into shape. Had some half-baked notion the two of you was gonna move up here. Build a cabin, help run the place.

    [pause, spits in coffee cup]

    John Twist: Then this spring, he got another fella gonna come up here with him. Build a place, help run the ranch. Some ranch neighbor o' his down in Texas. Was gonna split up with his wife and come back here. But like most of Jack's ideas... never did come to pass.
