lovable subtle details
Artiste:
Thanks Front-Ranger, thanks atz, thanks too all too!!
Since you mention toy cowboy on horse, is that the same as someone was sculpting in the tent?
Keep care all,
hugs!!!!!!!
Front-Ranger:
No. If you look carefully, the horse that Ennis was whittling was stocky, sortof like the Trojan horse. I've seen this actual horse, and it is made out of pine, I believe (hopefully lodgepole or Ponderosa pine like the ones found in the Big Horn Mountains). But the horse and rider on Jack's childhood desk are much skinner and are made out of metal, I believe. It fits, because Ennis is more "wooden" and of the earth (he also harbored a secret), while Jack was more conducive--we know he attracted lightning, hehe--and more associated with metal things like can openers, harmonicas, <gulp> tire irons...

One might call Jack's personality "magnetic," even...

Right as usual, friend Mel!! I'm praying for snow to keep being dumped on you so you'll bring us more of your wit which we've missed around this place!!

Hello,
I've been searching around for a thread where this is appropriate but couldn't seem tofind the right one. Hope maybe you'll consider this a lovable detail...I've been thinking about the different ways Ennis says, "Jack Fuckin' Twist" in the movie. At the beginning of the reunion scene, when he drops the pan in the river and at their last trip up to Brokeback when he threatens Jack. Interesting, isn't it?
