Do they get married?
Do they end up getting married after the movie?
shareIDK I'm not sure. It never says...
Relationship, Not religion
God Loves you.
in the novel the final chapter has them married and raising a son also called Joseph, it also had shannon's family accepting Joseph and being happy for her
Thunderbirds Aren't Slow
The movie doesn't really give any indication besides,
1) Shannon's father had treated Joseph well as his "second" in the duel, and
2) Once he came over to America and got caught up in the land rush, Shannon's father showed much more frontier spirit and less of the strait-laced stuffy society attitude they had had in Ireland. Shannon's father would probably have had more respect for Joseph because on the frontier you have to have work ethic and ability to stick out hard times, which he had.
3) Stephen was greedy and a backstabber, in America he would have had no loyalty to Shannon's father as he had in Ireland, once Shannon told him to shove off he would know he wasn't getting any of the family money so he would probably have abandoned the whole bunch.
... so logic points to Shannon and Joseph getting married and Joseph having a good relationship with his father-in-law. Shannon's mother might have been a different deal. She was always going to have a snooty attitude.
well if she didnt marry him, I certainly would've! I loved Tom Cruise in this. despite the accent being kind of bad :P Joseph seemed to be very loyal and caring and altho it wasn't depicted in the film coz it ended before it showed them possibly married, you know he would've been very loving toward Shannon. and his eyes are absolutely gorgeous :)

Love TC in this movie. share
I love the character of Daniel Christie, and Robert Prosky as well. To me Mr Christie was born into privilige and has always yearned to do "other" things but he can't because of his social standing so he has taken to drinking as an escape. After the burning of the Manor House, although saddened at the though he may now be penniless he feels a freedom he hasn't felt before and no longer feels tied to Ireland. And once he settle's to life in America he finds new vigour with new opportunities before heading west and finally giving up drinking.
"Pretend we're starting out in life, and not ending up." "The wild west suits me Clara. There's no telling what I might do." Great lines.
