In the scene where Ennis calls Jake's wife, and she's telling him about Jake's death, there are flashback-type things of Jake being beaten to death. When I saw it, I was thinking that this was Ennis imagining things, but I talked to a friend who saw it twice...he said the first time, he thought that, too, but the second time he said it was obvious that that was what really happened to Jake, and that his wife was making up a story. Did anyone else get that impression? |
While she's explaining to Ennis what happened, the flash back scenes were being played. So I took it that she either believed what she was saying, and the real truth of what happened was in the flash backs, and maybe she did or didn't know the real truth... Or she new the truth, but to save face was telling the bull**** story to him like she probably did to many other folks. That's how I read it.. or saw it.
