Favorite facial expressions?

Lumière:
I have too many favorites, but my fave Heath/Ennis expression - When he plays with that lighter, looks nervously out of the window, smoking, drinking, waiting for Jack, wondering if he'll show up.  I think he looks so utterly beautiful and vulnerable in that close-up.

My fave Jake/Jack expression - (there are too many, so I'll pick the first one that comes to mind):
It'd be the close-up of Jack's face when he sees Ennis sulking up the hill.  He grabs the rope to go lassoo Ennis, but he stood for a minute, looked at Ennis before he goes up to him.  The expression on his face at that moment spoke louder than words, his eyes softened, his lips slightly parted, his head slightly tilted...he was in love!  I love that scene.

Lucise,

I know we have more than one thing in common ;) .  He sure is beautiful, vulnerable, sexy, lonely, longing, .... in that shot.  DeeDee was so nice sending me the picture.  I need to make it bigger. :)

Wow! Very novelistic -- reading it, I am IN that tent. Do more of those!

Thanks Kat!  I am a frustrated writer.  I write a lot.  Never finish anything.  I love BBM's mountain scenes.  I've been in places like that.  I remember how it was...*sigh*

Ray:
Absolutely Positively the most gut wrenching moment of the film is the sequential changes on Jack's face when he bounds excitedly out of the truck after receiving the divorce card to the realisation moment where he says he says "I guess I thought that this means that y'.........."  The dry throated, nervous, swallow Jake gives during this sentence is superb.  That whole scene is just perfect and both these men won my heart with their acting.  I Absolutely Positively believe/d EVERY word that they spoke and didn't speak.

Sheyne:

Heath: the way the fire and joy dies in his eyes in the motel scene after Jack asks "what're we gonna do now?" The afterglow is gone and its back to harsh reality. He says it all: "doubt there's nothin we can do".. (yes yes yes there IS Ennis!!!! dammit)

Jake: right before "the hell they are". The incredible contrast in expression between the flashback cuddle contentment and that cold, twisted bitterness as Ennis drives away from him for the last time. These two consecutive wordless shots of Jake always leave me a little breathless. And very very sad.  :(
