I particularly liked Jacks expressions in the Thanksgiving scene... When he got determined to turn off the television...When he patted Lureens back, on the return to the table. and his defiant looks when he was telling LD. he was gonna knock him into next week...But most of all his disgusted with his life, and sick and tired of playing the family man game after he sat back down...he showed it all with his hand on his head, and a deep sigh, and raising up to do the carving himself...That was truly Jacks finest hour,,(ie Jakes,) in the movie, I thought...He ran the gamut of emotions there. Of course his look in the final away was devastating also,,but it was so so disheartened..he had finally lost his ability to hope..
