lovable subtle details

Every time I see Ennis stroking or clinging to Jack's clothing, I start gnashing my teeth because it's the man who he should be touching, not the clothing!

I agree with this. Hunnerd per cent.

I know! Everything else in his wardrobe looks like he picked it up at Sears, but his PJs look like they came from a hip vintage store (though as somebody -- Lynne? -- pointed out once, today's hip vintage stores sell clothes bought at Sears in 1967).
Also, they're so tight and low slung! Mind you, I ain't complainin. ;) ::)

Doubtful it was Jacks decorating. Lureen was brought up with money, so she would likely want to buy the latest style of furniture etc. Jacks only extravagance in his buying habits was his new truck every few years, camping gear and whiskey. Although he does always seem to have nice new clothes too. But that might be Lureens influence.
As for those purple chairs? Well...it was the seventies remember! I think the set decorator did a great job capturing the period feeling throughout the movie. Defining the economic lifestyles of the two families was well done too.

Thanks for the ideas regarding the oh so important topics of pajama bottoms and interior decorating. David, yes, I agree that the "realism" in the set decoration is very good at evoking economic status and a period feel. I guess I also agree that the Texas house is probably really meant to look like a Newsome house. And, very Texas-in-the-'70s too I would think. Stil, wow, what a color combination.
So, I have another random question that will reveal my ignorance regarding sheep herding culture. Why and how were there Chilean sheep in Wyoming? Chili is a long, long way away from Wyoming. I mean, I love that detail in the story/ film but I've never quite understood it.

More to the point it doesn't mattler that the herd were mixed up. The sheep know there herdsman and simpley need to be lead away and the right sheep will follow.
