Modesty/ Changes in TS2 - screenplay vs. film

He said they were giving so much, he didn't want to ask more from them than what was really needed.
This comment is in agreement with Lee's well-known restraint in general as well as with his modest demeanor in interviews and the way everybody spoke of him. So maybe this is just a typical Ang Lee -thingie.
Maybe it was much simpler than that. Maybe they did takes with and without Jeans (like Louise said) and for whatever reason one of the takes with Jeans turned out to be the best. May just likely have been something as mundane as the lighting was perfect, no flies buzzed through the picture or whatever.

Have you seen Lust, Caution Chrissi? ;D
I agree with your comment though. The scene was just perfect as we saw it on screen.

Nope. From your comment I conclude there was not so much restraint in L/C ;D.
But with "in general" I meant in general regarding BBM, making us feel like never enough.

I know Chrissi, I was just saying. 'Never enough' sums up BBM well.

Ain't it the truth?
And not only for the movie, but also in a larger sense for the whole Brokie experience.

First thing that comes to mind is that it wouldn't have been very believable for Jack to be completely naked in this scene:
1. It was probably cold
2. It would probably be too much for Ennis, it would scare him off
I like how in the story to screenplay book Jack reaches out to Ennis and Ennis takes his hand:
ENNIS cautiously steps in. JACK raises his hand to him.
ENNIS takes it. JACK pulls him in.
I would have loved to have seen that, it makes my heart go pitter patter! :D
