He does say things...

and ones we remember well, right??
..........

Plus, his looks at Jack... are like talks, I feel.

That makes him more real to me!!

You understand?

Hugs!

A picture paints a thousand words,and so do the shy smiles and looks of Ennis.

So true. I think they could have spent the whole film just communicating in looks and smiles and not said a word (kinda like a variation on the old silent movies) and they'd still have had the same impact.

Artiste:
Thanks bliss, thanks optom!!

I agree with you two!!

So, in a way it's a Marcel Marceau movie this BM film? He was real!!

Why?

I have an idea!

Hugs, hugs!!

Thankyou for so eloquently describing it for me.
