I love when Ennis gets the 1st postcard and rubs his thumb along the edge of it.
It is almost as if he cannot believe what he is seeing/reading/holding.Particularly considering how much time has passed.
I can remember getting cards from loved ones ,and fngering them in just such a manner. The person almost becomes tangible ,as if touching something they have also held provides a link to them,makes you feel just that bit closer to them.
His expression is also a lesson in understatement ,and at the same time portrays so much.
How sad that such talent is no longer with us.
Why do the good always die young?

I loved that little gesture with the postcard too! And the fact that you could see his lips move as he read the words again. It shows such sensitivity underneath that tough exterior.
Just like the last scene in his trailer when he was rubbing his finger over the postcard of brokeback mountain again.
It is mesmerizing!

How true,
how can I have forgotten the last post card scene,I have sobbed over it enough times!!!!
I also have to say I just love the Daniel Day Lewis quote at the bottom of your posts .I could not have said anything truer myself.
Any interview I have watched with Heath he always struck me as one of life's thinkers. I loved the fact that he was not afraid to be so soul searching and introspective. So many people are too scared to scratch more than skin deep,for fear of what they may discover.
I also loved his self deprecating humour,and genuine humility, something not often seen in the "big stars". Maybe in the end he just gave too much of himself.
He reminds me of a comet,burning so brightlly,all too briefly,a wonder to behold and then all too quickly gone.

I loved the look Jack gave when Randall was propositioning him and he realized he just wasn't innerested in Randall...because he loved Ennis. And Ennis gave this same look after he dropped LaShawn cold and she told him "Girls don't fall in love with fun."

Here's Ennis giving The Look.

the lips moving also show that Ennis has trouble reading, or seeing the words clearly.
