I have not seen the film so other than knowing it’s about “gay cowboys” I wasn’t sure what to expect. This story broke my heart. I felt for these men who had no way to frame their love for one another because it wasn’t the expected thing. Toxic masculinity and homophobia need to get in the bin!

kicking off 2022 with sad gay cowboys...... yeehaw...
on a more serious note this is a really good short story and deserved the adaptation it got and I wish I had the words to talk more about how LGBT stories filled with passion and yearning and tragedy, dilemmas and confusion wring my heart but yeah. Convinced homosexual love is the purest and truest thing to exist in this world.

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, 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.
