I've thought that too. If we HAVE to name favorite lovable details, mine ain't very subtle - it's probably the moment on the stairs when they pull apart from the kiss and Ennis is heaving and looking around. ThierryHenryPie once said that it seems like his shirt should have somehow been inside out at that point after the kissing. I love that.
Brown Eyes:
LOL! Yes all sorts of little details about the reunion are way up there on my list of favorite details. About Ennis's shirt here... I love, love, love that as Jack is tugging on it one of Ennis's buttons pops open. It took me something like 20 viewings before I even noticed it. So, apparently, not only did Ennis have to do a lot of shirt-tucking and looking around before heading back upstairs... he must also have had to re-button that button because it appears to be buttoned when he enters the apartment. And, by the way... I'll mention this again... I love that he wipes his mouth as he enters the apartment door. The final touch in putting himself back together before talking to Alma.

Its the hands.....jack's hands on Ennis's face, as they kiss.....long fingers....beautiful hands.........
Front-Ranger:
They both have beautiful hands, don't they Katie! And I like the hands on the face or back of head or neck, so different than the way men and women kiss, with men just using the kiss as an excuse to get at the woman's body!!
Is it hot in here? Oh, yes, what I originally came here to talk about are the little things on Jack's dresser that we see when Ennis goes into his closet. There's a little covered wagon and a pair of bronzed baby shoes. They are so touching and those things actually remind me of Ennis. The covered wagon because four-footed animals and four-wheeled vehicles that crawl upon the earth always remind me of Ennis, and the shoes for the same reason--rooted to the earth. There is one other thing on the bureau but I can't remember what it is. Can anybody help me out?
