So pleased to see the mention of the contribution of Roberta Maxwell to the movie. She costs be about three Kleenex every time I go see it.
If one wanted to get into such detail, her resemblance to Ennis that's been mentioned here could explain part of Jack's attraction to him - beyond the obvious ones that's he's a hot and interesting man, I mean.
When she looks at Ennis with those sad but wise eyes, to me she not only put the shirts in a bag for him but tucks a note right inside his heart. To me she is saying, Dear Ennis, I know full well who and what you were to Jack. Thank you for loving my darling boy. I could sense how much he loved you back all these years.
Well that's how it strikes me when she looks at Ennis. If you want to say I'm reading too much into it that's Ok. But she wanted him to go find the shirts. She had to have known that one did not belong to Jack and even if he never told her, this woman would have figured it out and kept quiet about it. Or?
