Love Scene

The Reunion scene is the scene I just play over and over.

Like I said, I had no idea of the story, so on first viewing I as I waited for Jack to arrive, I was a bit like Ennis, edgy and impatient, waiting to see how they would act towards one another after four "fucking" years. I was frightened it would be uncomfortable for them. I thought, that they would both hide their feelings and we as the viewer would be frustrated by this, and we would have to wait some time for them to finally admit their feelings.

BUT.......when Ennis grabbed Jack and pushed him against the wall, I could hardly breathe. I sucked in the bggest gulp of air, and felt like it was Ennis sucking the breath out of me and not just Jack. That kiss is the most memorable kiss in any movie I have ever seen.

The relief also, that I felt, that they were showing each other their feelings, that they were not gonna hide them, oh god, I thought, thank goodness they both feel the same, and they are not hiding it.

I was so entranced with that scene, and feeling so good about it, I was on a wave of eurphoria, and then when Alma unexpectantly opened the door, I nearly threw up.... NO NO NO NO....dont spoil it, please dont spoil it. I was sick to my stomach, for both Alma and the thought of the consequences.

Sometimes I wish I had read the book before I saw the movie, to prepare me for all of these scenes.

The love scene between the two of them was a huge turn on EVERYTIME I see it. Of course. I was a bit shocked, startled, and uncomfortable at first, too. But, when I'd seen the second to third to fourth etc. times, I became used to it and really loved the scene. It would always 'GET' to me, even no matter how hard I try not to let it arouse me. Doesn't work. :laugh: It was to make us the audience see where their passions began physically. The sexual tension had finally broke when Jack had first put Ennis's hand on him. The way I see it, he WANTED Ennis's touch badly. He was emotionally, mentally, and sexually attracted to him. He wanted to send a message to him that he was in love with him and that he was highly sexually pining for him that he couldn't take it anymore. And Ennis was a virgin at the time so he didn't know how to react to it. Jack on the other, it was a bit unclear if he was a virgin or not but he definitely felt comfortable and hungrily ready to feel what it's like to make love to Ennis or the other way around. ;D
Plus, I think the scene was also a hidden meaning that Ennis and Jack in a way were telling eachother that they each are gay and they're sexually attracted to eachother by their actions(i.e. the hand on the crotch under the blanket, the holding eachother faces, the increasing breathing between them before and during, etc.).

And I agree with you about the Second Tent Scene. I find that scene very cute, emotionally, and sweet. I mean, Jack being gentle and affectionate towards Ennis was just beautiful. And when he kissed him, it was not only hot but also sweet. It was warm and loving. It was almost as if WE as the viewers 'felt' the first kiss he gave him. It was beautifully done by two great actors. You know, everytime I look at that scene, I wonder how Heath and Jake got their nerves together to actually kiss eachother. I know they had to really talk this out but after a while, they probably had gotten use to it. I've seen them deliciously kiss women but kissing eachother really took the cake. ;) It was beyond peaches and cream. It was beyond sweet. Let me put it at that. :D
But, yeah, on that part of the scene, it showed how they're characters are starting to feel and accept the love from eachother. :)

Personally, I think both the 1st Tent Scene and the 2nd Tent Scene are two of the best scenes from the movie.

I don't know whether it is different for men, but I have shared passionate kisses with a couple of women. I then  fell desperately in love with the love of my life.Kissing him was not so different from kissing a woman.Some people can kiss well and some just can't.
Heath in one interview said basically it is just kissing another human being,I thought that was a pretty mature attitude.
For me kissing a woman was a natural progression from the very deep friendship bond we had formed. There was no embarrassment attached, quite the reverse, it seemed the most natural thing in the world.
I suspect for Heath and Jake , with all the cameras etc around it was probably not much more difficult than a straight kiss or sex scene. I do know I was utterly convinced by their desperate sexual attraction and love for each other. That in itself is an amazing feat for 2 straight man.In fact I only ever see Ennis and Jack.

Agreed. Yeah, I remember Heath saying that, too. He said it like it was nothing to be ashamed of. I respect that. I wasn't annoyed by it at all. And I agree. Kissing a man or woman in a way doesn't make any difference. We're human beings.
I think Heath and Jake had a lot of trust within eachother to do these Ennis and Jack love scenes. And I think that was one of the reasons, in real life, they had gotten closer the way they did.

Gabreya:
You know, I realized this scene is one of those scenes in movies that make the audience 'FEEL' what the characters are feeling. Seriously, it's a very well acted scene and they did a good job on capturing the audiences emotion and feeling. I think for us females, the scene got us feeling what the two guys had felt for eachother.

I have found this thread very enlightening with the views profiled here.
From my view as a gay male I remember being absolutely shocked at the
FNIT scene in a Tampa theatre that night. I did not know much about BBM
before I went but I knew I must see it. The sexual act of course did not shock me
and flowed very naturally but as soon as it was over I was startled. As I sat in the
theatre in the moment it was over you could hear a pin drop. Stunned I did not
believe I just saw such a private moment between the boys and felt like I had
stumbled into it, like walking in on your parents. I looked around and the audience
seemed to try to adjust themselves as well as I did back to normal. Or should I
use the world normal? After Brokeback life changed and never went back to what
was normal. Thanks to the boys and Brokeback. I never have to try to be the "old"
normal again.

Brokeback released me to live!
