To you, what is FUN for you in the BM movie?
BlissC:
--- Quote ---13 takes!!
And what came before one was chosen, any were/was sex ACTION?
Was one or some: too obviously sexy as in the FIRST SEX scene?
And what came after?
I wonder which of the 13 ones, the director or so did use??
Was it for fun that Ennis used his hat on his crotch... and was that in all the 13 takes??

I'd love to know that. I noticed the "hat over the crotch" thing tonight when I was watching a clip of the film and wondered the same thing (if that was intentional and whose idea it was)
I guess from a director's/technical point of view it would be a difficult scene to shoot, getting the feel of the scene right and choreographing it right for it to be acceptable to the film classification boards. Interesting, as you say Artiste though to know why 13 takes, and which of those they used in the end. It would be so funny if after 13 takes Ang said, "Right, well actually we've decided we like the first take best after all!" :D :laugh:
Nothing at all to do with FNIT, but I also remember reading somewhere that for the really sad scenes where she was crying Michelle/Alma, to make it more realistic for when she was upset, asked if Jake and Heath would kiss off camera, and they agreed to do it. Isn't it funny the strange bits of movie trivia you pick up while wandering around the web? :laugh:
Artiste:
Thanks Bliiss!
You say:

......
Bliss: Yes, that would be fun!!
And, may I add, would it be so funny if after 13 takes Ang said, "Right, well actually we've decided NOT to have your hat on your crotch after all Heath" And I wonder what would Heath do, especially since he had been touching Jake G. and vice versa been touched so well and often during the 13 previous takes? Dare I ask? And imagine Heath who would maybe have to go to the washroom first to straighten out something, before the 14th take?
Wouldn't most straight, bi or gay males, be concerned of his appearance on camera after being touched and touching so often? Dare I ask that for fun?
Is that why both Heath and Ennis laughed concerning their talks about that scene?

Really Bliss? Boy, I hope the camera was on those times too... and I know you want to see that, if possible?? Would you find that fun??
Au revoir,
hugs!!

Sorry,but I didn't explained myself well enough; the 13 takes scene was not the SNIT (or Second Night In Tent) but the first one...it's to say,the night of their first sexual experience.Maybe in this case fun was greater...Specially,yes,if Ang had choosen the third or fourth take after all... :laugh: Speaking clearly,and as I'm not a man,but I guess difficult not TO MAKE IT REALLY IN THE END.For a simply question of frequent touches,I mean. ;D
And yes,Bliss,I've also read about Michelle's asking the boys to kiss; it was in the reunion scene,when she must feel painfully surprised for what she saw.In order to increase her feelings before camera-as she had already fallen in love with Heath-,she asked them to increase also their passion.During an scene that also,by the way,must be repeated some times more;you must heard it on Oprah interview,because Jake said it.And yes,both of them laughed a lot speaking about this.For shame or...? ::)
Artiste:
Wasn't the Second Night in the Tent done also many times?
How many takes?
And any fun about it? More...
au revoir,
hugs!

I really don't know how many takes needed SNIT...What I know is that Heath said once that there were moments when he didn't know what to do; and that was good,because it reflected better the insecurities,fears and shyness of his character.I think he referred to this scene,but it's logical that he felt a little uneasy-mainly if Ang gave them freedom to do as they pleased,you know what I mean...-and this situation was the same than Ennis could felt before Love's discovering.I don't know if it's fun,but a little morbid,no?. :D
