I heard this was sad, but it was really sad. I was in high school when the movie came out, and I never saw it. I really wish people had not made fun of this deeply human story the way they did.

The writing is innovative and vague, I'd recommend the readers to have a virtual movie playing inside their head as they uncover the plot to really fill in the gaps and make it a thorough experience. The dynamic between Ennis and Jack is frustratingly real,

Spoiler

once you get a feel for Jack; his restlessness and his impulsivity, you know there's no way in hell he wouldn't sleep with other men to help his frustrations. Ennis' dignified motto and it's applicability to his life is heartbreaking.
