lovable subtle details
Brown Eyes:
Think of this thread as an homage to the "notice anything so subtle..." thread back on the old board.
Here are two relatively little details that always strike me as amazing flourishes to their particular scenes.
-I love that when Jack emerges from the tent after the first tent scene and approaches Ennis, his blue shirt remains un-tucked. An amazing contrast to Ennis's compulsive "shirt-tucking" habit. Jack's un-tucked shirt (in addition to his visibly worried/hurt facial expression) makes him seem incredibly vulnerable.
-In the reunion scene... I love when Ennis first enters the apartment after the big kiss he wipes his mouth! I love that.
Anyone else have other favorite details?

I like the scene when Jack reaches over and gently touches Ennis' face ( I THINK after he says, "Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it."). This really knocks me back on my heels. Jack is gentle and caring and this little gesture sums up his whole persona. I have to admit there are days when I wonder if *I* will ever get over this movie. I've never had a film/story have such an impact on me. I saw it opening day in the theater, and I'm still numb at times... :'(

That face-touch of Jack's is after Ennis tells him about seeing Earl's body. If that's the one you mean. The ear-grab, kinda?
I love that.
My all-time favorite subtle detail may be the bird flying over when Ennis nervously watches the white truck drive past when Jack has come up unannounced after Ennis's divorce.

That's the scene I meant; thanks for the clarification!
