lovable subtle details
Front-Ranger:
Amanda I also noticed that that circular was advertising Buddig Meats. Ennis called Jack "bud."
Here's another thing I just noticed. At the very beginning, Jack starts to walk over toward Ennis outside the trailer but stops. He has his hands on his hips, fingers spread apart. Ennis has his hands and arms in a similar position, but with his hands inside his pockets. Typical for those two guys. :)
Front-Ranger:
Another one. Alma Jr. tugging on Alma Sr.'s arm and saying intensely, "Mama, I need crayons" just when Alma and Ennis are having a stare-down in the grocery store.
Brown Eyes:
I know, the crayon detail is adorable! It's just the random kind of thing a kid would say too. A very nice touch of realism. But, I also love that she doesn't "want" crayons... she "needs" crayons. That cracks me up.
:laugh: :laugh:
Front-Ranger:
Doesn't she have intensely blue eyes in that scene, just like Jack??

Why, yes, I believe she does.
Thinking of the grocery scene... It's interesting to see how a easily Ennis is able to make his way through the aisles (and even politely skirting the guy shopping with a basket in his arms). This is a great moment to contrast his little evasion of Alma's later suggestion about the electric company job. The "clumsy as I am remark" seems to be contradicted in many scenes in the movie... this being a key one I'd think.
