lovable subtle details

I think partly because their hands are off-screen, so you can't exactly see what's precisely happening. But based on the angle of their arms and the brief exchange of glances, Ennis's sudden stillness, etc. it does seem to be just what you said. I think that Jack redirecting Ennis's hand like that and Ennis's reaction this second time is exactly what gives Jack the confidence to proceed.
And, the more I watch the scene in Lightning Flat, the more I notice moments of silent communication between Ennis and Mrs. Twist. She absolutely knows who Ennis is and clearly was a big factor in the preservation of those shirts (and keeping them a secret from Old Man Twist). When Ennis comes back downstair Mrs. Twist smiles and nods at him when she sees what he's carrying. I love Mrs. Twist.

I couldn't agree more about Mrs Twist. And like Amanda, I see more and more what's going on between her and Ennis, the more I see the movie. She's curious waiting for Ennis when he comes back downstairs and to me, she seems downright relieved when she sees that Ennis has the shirts.
I still don't see the first one, Jack placing Ennis's hand on his crotch a second time. I had read it before and looked for it the second to last time I saw the movie (last time was with my fellow Brokies at the BBQ and I was totally swept away again).
Guess I'll put the DVD in later and watch the part in slow motion.

Hey Bud,
Well, you don't actually see their hands because they're off screen at the bottom of the screen. What you do see is Jack bringing Ennis's arm back over in the direction of his crotch. So, you see the angle of their arms which is very suggestive. You also see Ennis become very still momentarily and (to me) it looks like he sort of thoughtfully looks in Jack's eyes (eventhough Ennis still looks pretty sleepy and confused). This happens almost as soon as they both sit upright.

Hi everyone, what a great thread !
I don´t know if this has been mentioned before, but I love the way Jack (in TS1, after unbuckling his belt in a way that always makes me moan slightly) actually pulls Ennis on his back. I read so much about Ennis shoving Jack, but I see Jack doing his part to get in position.
And what strikes me as very cute is that Ennis strokes the (first) postcard with his thumb while reading it!
And yes, I love Jack ´nuzzling´ the bedroll and moaning into it.
And I love the sounds they make when they kiss.
And I love Jacks tongue whenever I get to see it. :P :o
Rayn:
I love it when Ennis teases Jack about his harmonic playing. It's almost mid-day-broad-day foreplay!
I love it when Jack giggles at Ennis' jokes about his playing.
I love it when in the campsite Jack curls his mouth into a cute smile and says,
"That's more words than you spoke in two weeks." It's not what he says, it's the smile before he says that.
I love the first reunion embrace, when they're trying to pull away, break it off and the last thing Ennis does, like he's just got to get a little more of Jack on him... is nudge and wipe his head on Jack before he walks away.
That is such a brillant subtle bit of business from Ledger.
Meryl:
Stop that, Rayn! I'm gonna have to go watch the movie again in a minute! :P :P :P
