Lookin for the handle
Lynne:
I watched again this morning and that saw doesn't seem to really have a handle. ??? What do I know?
Ax handles are strewn around liberally, though.
Front-Ranger:
Well, it's a different kind of a handle. As I recall, that is a bow saw, and it's Ennis who uses it.
Regarding those ax handles, most of us have remarked on how the ax handle seems to be pointing to Jack's head :'( while he sits by the campfire. A corollary that I noticed is that when Ennis is sitting in his trailer at the end of the movie talking to Alma Jr., there is a knife block full of knives behind him and the knife handles seem to be coming out of his head.

Alma Junior’s coffee cup (at the end)—she doesn’t hold it by the handle. Jack’s mom holds her coffee cup by the handle. Door handles. Car door handles—polishing them while telling someone what you should’ve said a week ago.

Yee-haw! The sublime list-maker returns! Adia, you know how I love your lists!!
Lynne:
Great to see you, Adia! Now I'm wondering about Alma holding her coffee cup, while awaiting Ennis' return after the Motel Siesta night...(compared to Junior in her last scene)...I have to find my website with the screenshots.
And it occurs to me that the various trailers (Ennis' at the end) as well as the ones that brought the horses to camp over the years had hitches (aka handles). A stretch?
Brown Eyes:
I was just perusing some of the older Open Forum pages and came across this great old thread... It seems like this topic of tire irons and spoons is hot again. So, I thought I'd give it a nudge back up to page one.
