--- Quote ---I think you're right in this illustrating the difference in their characters. But it could also be taken to show how relaxed they've become with one another. Or it could well be that this is hinting about how they (consciously or subconsciously) are finding ways to stay together more and for longer periods of time, even when appearing to just be attending strictly to business as usual. Perhaps Ennis rode down to camp super-early, knowing that Jack wouldn't have breakfast ready yet. Or Jack dawdled more than usual on purpose. And none of them complaining!

These are great points, Mikaela — I shoulda realized all this.  It kind of reinforces what the story said, too, about Ennis' hours away from the sheep (how they "stretched out and out").

Seeing images like that never fails to reinforce my admiration for the actors, admiration and wonder that they are able to stay in character, and to give us these two wonderful completely believable cowboys, with all that stuff and all those people hanging over their heads.  :)

I'm always amazed by that, too, when I stop to think about it! You'd never know there are mobs of people and tons of equipment just a few feet away. What powers of concentration and focus they must have.

Noviani:

and i respect heath and jake even more, for giving birth to jack and ennis among all those unromantic, technically-design and equipped surrounding
