TOTW 04/08: Finest acting moments in BBM
Beckela:
Yes, there are soooo many great moments! But I fell in love with Jack when Aguire rejects him the next summer. The subtle changes in Jake's face are astounding -- those eyes! My gawd! Seems like the very best moments are silent.

So true!
That goes for life in general I think.

The nuances in this scene alone should have won him the Oscar.
Also, when Cassie is tearing him a new one at the truckstop/diner (whatever it is) and he says "I'm sorry." Dear God. This was a totally broken man. You could tell at this moment that there was no fight left in him. He was done.

Ditto on the Ledger Oscar
I also saw how broken Ennis was, he was an emotional widow / widower even without Jack's death.

One of my favorite acting moments is when Ennis is talking about his life - "the more than I've spoken" scene - when Ennis realizes Jack is looking at him and says "Whut" with that puzzled look in his eyes. This scene is open of the most open Ennis scenes that I know of. It is incredible how he begins to open up to Jack.
SamChez:
4 me, there is no "acting" in this movie - just honesty.
This from a former actor who sucked (thus former), so what do I know.
All examples cited are extraordinary. Yet, every moment of this movie is so amazingly executed, it moves beyond "acting" into another category entirely. 2 cents.
