Black Hats, White Hats

Oh, wow. Nice catch, Amanda. In all my viewings (and reviewing screen caps), I've never seen that one. Especially nice touch in that he's also wearing a tan jacket. Just further affirmation of the genius of Ang Lee.

Yeah, you're right about the tan jacket. The combination of the hat and the jacket is really evocative of Ennis.

I have to admit that I had caught that.
[lol]
It is beautifully done. And in january if my son had not helped me pick out the clothes to get married in I'd have looked like Jack at that dinner, they were trying to sell me formal leather cowboy jackets and I was so flipped out I'd a bought it.

I've been feeling nostalgic for some of the older Open Forum threads tonight and have been having fun reading through this wonderful old topic.
And, I wanted to ask a bit more about this image... The significance of the white-hat-wearing and black-hat-wearing cowboys buys bus tickets together, seems to be the primary important background detail here. But, there's also more going on that could be of interest.
Not only are these two guys buying bus tickets together... the counter is covered with candy for sale. Is this a not-too subtle reference to the "sweet life" that Jack had hoped for?
It's interesting that both the two cowboys and Cassie and Karl are heading in the direction towards the candy.
Having these still images available really is hugely helpful in these discussions. I feel like I always notice new things when I look at these stills closely and carefully.
I feel like... noticing the blue and red symbol for the bus station on the wall... that there really should be a full thread on the topic of blue and red since this color combination is also seen throughout the movie, much like black and white.
