lovable subtle details
Front-Ranger:
I noticed the coy hatbrim lowering (reciprocal hatbrim dipping to Ennis's first move?) but I never saw his lips moving until it was pointed out here. Just one of the many benefits of this forum! Thanks, Herr!!

When Jack arrives, he moves back and forth along the side of the pickup. At one point, after he clearly notices Ennis as a person of interest, he lowers his head to allow his hat to cover his eyes. For a split second, his lips move. I believe he is saying to himself either "Oh my God" or "Can't believe it".
anyone see this detail the same way? thanks!

I asked someone who reads lips what he said. She said Jake says 2 distinct words:
'Holy Shit'

^ Wow - gotta check that out myself! But I don't have trouble believing that - I'd say something very similar if I laid eyes on either of those two, & then you'd have to pick me up off the floor ;D
It made me think about Jack having a really strong reaction to Ennis at the get-go, then knowing he'd be working with him all summer & how he was going to handle it. I'd be a nervous wreck. I think Jack was a bit nervy to start with but soon realised that he needn't be cos nothing was going to be happening any time soon where Ennis was concerned :P

He did in fact say "Holy Shit" under his breath but the dialogue was cut to add more subtlety to the scene.
HerrKaiser:
thanks, I had not seen any indication in the script that there was dialog at the segment, but for sure his lips were moving. One of the tiny details that few have noticed!
