I was doing some more thinking - beats interacting with people at work - about BBM.

And I was considering - who sacrificed the most, Jack or Ennis? I mean, other than Jack ended up dead, but in life, who gave up the most?

I'm stumped. Ennis gave up his financial stability; Jack gave up his self-respect. Which one made the greater sacrifice? They both gave up some of their happiness (though I believe they found happiness in the families they had) and could never hope to live they way they wanted to.

I kind of think Ennis got the short end of the stick materially, but Jack suffered more on the emotional side. Jack wanted to believe so badly that they could be together, and I believe he was actually 100% gay to Ennis' bisexual. Just a vibe I got from the book and the movie vibed the same to me. Ennis had more common sense about how impossible the whole thing was.

Just talking about the two guys here; I think Alma was probably the person who made the biggest sacrifice of anyone else in the movie.
