The mysterious "I love you" and other nearly indiscernible moments
jpwagoneer1964:
I thought it was pretty clear, more so that the "Give 'm hell"
angry little lawyer:
I saw BBM again recently and tried to be on the look out for some of those "contraversial" moments...I heard C'mere right before Ennis slams Jack into the wall for their reunion kiss....and someone on fan fiction.net suggested that right before Ennis and Jack part so that Ennis can go back upstairs to deal with Alma he tells Jack "later" referring to the fact that they'll be doing more kissing and stuff later. I paid close attention to the reunion scene and sure enough I heard "later". Not sure if I heard it b/c I was listening for it.....I also think what Jack says during SNIT sounds more like "s'alright" than "sorry" but its just so hard to tell... ;D
BBM-Cat:
It is interesting and difficult to separate out the effects of priming - the pre-expectation of what one will hear. At my first viewing of BBM, when I did not have any preconceived ideas or expectations about the movie, there are some of the controversial lines I heard clear as a bell (s'alright x 3); while other lines I hear only now because my expectation has been primed. I want to believe the closet 'I love you', but have yet to discern it for myself in that scene.

Yes, 'what are you doing'!
I heard that the first time i saw the movie. Of course, it was subtitled so that made it easier for me to 'hear' what they were saying. (and yes the subtitle people in Belgium obviously heard Ennis say 'I'm sorry' too. ;D)
Did you notice that Ennis says exactly the same thing to Cassie when she puts her feet on his lap? Like he can't believe on either occasions that anyone might want to get so physically close to him.
That was in fact the topic of one of first posts i did here on Bettermost.
