Hi I'm a new member so if this has been discussed forgive me.

Did anyone notice that when Cassie and Ennis are walking to the dance floor the first night thy met and she asks him his name he replies, "Ennis....pause...Del Mar". It is like he remembered what Jack has said to him when they first met, "Did your parents stop at Ennis?" and he says, "Del Mar".

Hello Slick---Welcome to Bettermost!!

Yes, I noticed that too. He was none too happy to be going out to dance with Cassie, huh?

slick:
Absolutely right Shasta.....Ennis was just going through the motions. Man..have I been there, but not anymore.

Hi there,
This has indeed been discussed before, but you are a hundert percent forgiven!
That's right: 1st with Jack, he has to be asked to tell his surname; 2nd with Cassie, he tells it of his own accord, after a pause; and finally when he introduces himself to Lureen at the end on the phone, he says "Ennis Del Mar" all in one go, as though he had learnt, all as if he finally knew who he was...

Brown Eyes:
Oooooo, Isabelle!  I love that observation about Ennis finally saying his whole name of the phone to Lureen.  I'd never stopped to ponder the significance of that seemingly small gesture.  But, I think you're right.  It's maybe one of the first signs indicating how much Ennis changes following Jack's death.





p.s. Welcome Slick!
