lovable subtle details
chowhound:
I think the image of the leash also interconnects with the "reins" Ennis mentions when, at the end of their first reunion, he says "ain't no reins on this one". Paradoxically, however, it is Ennis who is always applying the "reins" either emotionally within himself or through his fears of how society will view them. This "reining in" he also extends to Jack through the "short leash" he keeps him on.
Brown Eyes:
Yes, I agree. Makes a lot of sense to me.
Front-Ranger:
You hit the proverbial nail on the head, chowhound!! :)

First, I have to say I really, really love this site, and I allready read all is written "lovable subtle details".
Thanks a lot for this space, I love the movie as never before.
My english is not good enough but, please, be sweet with me.
I want to say this ( and I hope someone please answer and talk with me )
1. I love Jack´s mom at the end taking Ennis hand while she is putting the shirts in to the paper bag....
2. I could swear that the words that Jack said in the first take, out of Aguirre´s office is FUCK YOU. We can only see the movement of his lips.... I think he said that because he is a little angry with Ennis cold attitude.
3. In the tent scene, the first one, why Jack hit on the floor? I think is pain? Or he wants Ennis stop? Then I see Jack put his hand on Ennis hand, and then he tries to take both hands, Ennis and yours with the other, and then, they fall. I understand there is not only pain, but when I hear Jack in real pain.
My favorite part, all, but specially when Ennis is so so so happy "saying a thankfull prayer"
Thanks a lot. I would like to explain in a better way all I can feel. :'(
