lovable subtle details
Katie77:
Oh yes......they were both starved for love and affection, and just being needed by someone.
They both felt they got all this from each other, theres no doubt about that.
TS2 was the acceptance, that they could trust one another with those feelingsl.
It is such a beautiful scene.

I have watched TS2 so many times, I love it, that and the motel scene.Re the latter, I don't think it is a lovable detail but it is subtle.The way we catch a glimpse of wedding ring.My heart sank when I saw that.Even having read the book it was so much more poignant in the film. It is there as a reminder that things are not all as they seem for our boys.
It is so subtle, yet such a smack in the face.They are so at ease in each others arms, you can almost forget the peripherals, then there it is the ring.It brings me to tears every time, even just writing about it.
It has been menioned a hundred times over, but I love the fact that the shirts are switched, in the last scene, but most of all I love that it was Heath's idea to do it.
I hate the fact he is no longer here.
Gabreya:
Yes. Plus, for us as the audience, it's almost as if we can FEEL their warmth for eachother as in love.
Front-Ranger:
Another subtle thing I love is the way they pick up where they left off no matter if it's been a day away from each other on the mountain, months since the last high-altitude get-together, or a whole effen four years!! One example is how Ennis tells Jack "I thought you was sore from that punch" and Jack knows exactly what he was talking about, even though it was a long four years ago!!

Oh yes....I know what you mean.......
How much of a relief must it have been for them, to be able to talk about Brokeback, after it being bottled up inside them, all that time, never talking about it to anyone else. Like they were in the same dream or their own planet which no one else knew about and which they BOTH remember every minute of.
