Favorite facial expressions?

I love the facial expressions on both Jack and Ennis faces as they break apart and nuzzle at the end of the reunion kiss. Jack keeps trying to rub up against Ennis face and Ennis pats him as he trys to pull himself together. I think this is so well acted and both guys are so gorgeous.

I also especially love 19 year old Jack's expression as he watches Ennis ride away after the dozy embrace. So many perfect moments to choose from.

Kerry, Cameron and everyone,

I'm glad you agree, those two scenes, Ennis' facial expressions in SNIT and Jack's during the dozy embrace are my two favorites among so many. 

Brokeback Mountain is one of the most profoundly moving films I have ever seen, and I've seen it many times.  I watch it every now and then, so I know a lot of the expressions by heart and never cease to be amazed and moved by them.  :)

I love every single one of the great expressions mentioned so far, and how beautifully everyone describes them.

I keep coming back to two moments for Heath that always blow me away.  He conveys so much in one brief moment:

The totally indescribable look when he says "What?" before Jack's comment about "that's the most you've said in two weeks."

The way he uses his eyes when he's trying to find out if Jack ever gets the feeling that people on the street "know."  He tries to make it sound casual, but his eyes focus on Jack with piercing intensity from under the brim of his hat, furtive and scared, then look away again.  Then when Jack doesn't reassure him, but suggests he move, that underlying fear just whooshes out of him in the outburst that follows.

Well put, Meryl. That is a telling facial expression. And Jack's response sort of (unintentionally) reinforces Ennis' idea that, rather than not worry at all, it's best to hide.

There are so many facial expressions that I love from our boys, but the ones that I like the most are- Ennis- after he says, "You better watch it there, that horse has a low startle point" >I see his shyness and a little embarassment after Jack talks about tying knots all day.
Another one is after Ennis says "hell that's the most I spoke in a year," and the one when he is in the closet after he discovers the shirts. There are so many- I could go on and on. His expressions are so boyish and innocent looking.

I love the facial expressions of Jack in the dozy embrace- and when he puts his head down, I really get sad. :( I also like Jack's expressions whenever the camera is focused on him looking at Ennis or turning around and looking at Jimbo walk away. I can't leave out the facial expression when he tries to comfort Ennis after he hits him before they leave BBM.

There are just too many to write about so I'll stop here and go into the kitchen and get my piece of cherry cake. :)
