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.

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!

I’ve never seen the movie, but wanted to read this. I loved how the story was written just like how the characters speak. 

The transitions, or lack of, made it a little hard to follow the story at some points. I kinda wish there had been a bit more character development. It just seemed like a stereotypical portrayal that they were only in it for sex

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.

I've seen the movie and didn't think that this short story would contain the entire story. But miraculously it did. And it didn't even seem rushed, though much of the story is only hinted or mentioned in passing, it just focuses on Enis and his relationship with Jack.
