What is the happiest scene?
Lynne:
I love the horsing-around post test scene2 also, Chris...It just so obviouly viewed thru Aguirre's binoculars, I can't enjoy it. I think we really needed one or two scenes of unadulterated happiness before they came down off Brokeback...

As do I.....but I wonder 'how much' Aguirrie actually saw?
Lynne:
I may be confussing story and movie, but I'm under the impression that he saw all...something about he waited until Ennis had gone back up to the sheep before making his presence known. Then was disrespectful/dismissive of Jackl in that he delivered his message to Jack and left w/o even dismounting...that's in the story, right?

ROFL....shockin confession #1....I never read the story....
David:
Hmm, I'll have to say the reunion scene too. Just look at the smile on Ennis's face after he introduces Jack to Alma and the are talking about the kids. But here even Jacks smile fades quickly. He and Ennis are anxious to get out of there and I think Jack is uncomfortable being around Alma. Notice how he waits by the truck the next morning.
Close runner up is the horsing around scene that aguirre saw. The flasback scene is good too, but that is a different kind of "happy". More of a contented happy.
oh, as far as how much Aguirre saw, he saw it all. First of all, the book says so, secondly he mentions it (stemming the rose) the next year when Jack comes back. And we also see him looking at his watch to see just how long these boys are going to be screwing around instead of working.
