Yin and Yang: Ennis and Jack
Gabreya:
Um, if you guys don't mind me adding this. This is not in the movie but did you know in the interview with Oprah, Jake(and Oprah) were wearing black and white clothes(yin/yang symbolism maybe)? See Jake was wearing a black suit with a white shirt, but it was in a mostly dressy way. And Oprah was wearing a white long skirt, some semi-black and white shoe heels, and a black dressy vest, blouse shirt with white rims.
Black and white will be forever in style and go great together. In fact, they're my school's colors.

That's a great observation Gabreya! I don't know how deliberate Jake might have been about the yin and yang colored clothing for the Oprah interview. But, he definitely was aware of the concept as applied to BBM.. he mentions it in one of the interviews in the bonus features on the DVD. I love that. I love this topic!

I found another yin/yang symbol in the movie...and it's clothing-based again! At Ennis' wedding, his best man is wearing dark pants and a light shirt, while Ennis is wearing a dark suit jacket with jeans. In his lapel, Ennis is wearing a white flower!!
