lovable subtle details
Brown Eyes:
OK, new detail...
I love that the mail slot at the post office that Ennis uses to mail his "you bet" postcard isn't just a "postal services" slot... it's a "special postal services" slot."
:D

this isn't an especially loveable detail, but it would certainly meet the criteria for 'irrelevant but interesting' :P
a previous poster mentioned that Jack undoes his belt AND his buttons with only his left hand (first night in tent), and noted that Ennis clearly and audibly unzips.
it's about those buttons/zips! one of the style note differences between the boys is Jack's religious wearing of dark Wranglers, the rodeo cowboy's jeans of choice. Ennis, on the other hand, is always seen in faded Levi's 501's. Culturally correct, and an opportunity to do the dark/light thing again - HOWEVER, Wranglers almost all have ZIPS, whereas Levi's have buttons. :o ;D :o.
I'd be tickled to hear any theories on this reversal of apparel closure systems.

POst it on "goofs" on IMDb under..."reversal of equipment"...but: you said, Jack always wears Wranglers, and Ennis Levis (501s). Thus they must not be REAL Wrangkers and REAL 501s. On second thought, I think this falls under the catergory of "very amusng mistake," not "reversal of equipmernt."
Something that has always bothered me about that introduction: most guys, after soul kissing a loved one for five minutes...have hard-ons...sorry, but just the facts, Ma'm.

Julie,
I posted mainly about the neat adherance to the two different brands of jeans, as per the different subcultures the boys 'belong' to, but thought the closure reversal a bit of fun to add to it.
Incidentally, I've owned many pairs of Wranglers and many pairs of 501's over the years. all the W's have zips and all the 501's have buttons. Might be different in the States a'course ;).
As you were

wolf: I thought i made it clear that I uhnderstood your post...right jeans, wrong closures--right?
What about the hard-ons? (added to my previous post later)
