      Watched it for the second time a few days ago. Hit just as hard as the first time. The hope that Jack feels in the beginning, only to be crushed once he finally realizes that he’ll never really have Ennis, Jake managed to portray that so viscerally.

      @@theonionqueen3519 yeah, I guess. But I feel like ennis breaking down in front of Jack at the end might’ve been the start of his path towards accepting that what they had was love. And had jack not died, he might’ve given jack more. Like, maybe he’d have started to allow himself to be emotionally closer to jack and maybe that would’ve led them to a path where they would either be living together or closer to each other. But since Jack was so tired of living life the way they had been, maybe he decided to move on and be with Randall BUT it’s possible he was still going to see Ennis, or that Ennis was going to go after jack if he left him. Idk. I think them living together one day, had jack not died, is of great unlikelihood BUT not impossible. And maybe ennis moving closer to jack or jack moving closer to him so they’d be with each other more often could’ve happened and been enough. It’s just too bad jack died and ennis only realized it was love when it was too late. Now, we will never know. All we can do is dream of what could’ve been. So devastating.

      @Sam Sguanch Producers and executives care. It sucks, but there are lots of producers that have a say in the casting of movies and when the Academy recognizes you for even a nomination, it opens a lot of doors for your career. It's not everything, and plenty of people have a successful career without an Oscar (Such as Leo DiCaprio) but it also doesn't hurt.
