It just serves to confirm what most of us believe about him and his feelings towards Jack. I have to say that I'm glad it's soooo imperceptible as to remain a subject of debate. It's almost like it's there if you want it to be there... or not... as the case may be. I think having it not be there adds a bit of weight to the "Jack I swear..." moment. I think we and Jack's ghost are locked in suspense at the end hoping and hoping to hear Ennis say "I love you." Well, if he's already said it to the shirts... at least Jack's ghost would have already heard it.

I agree with all of this^.
I had never imagined Ennis saying "I love you" into the shirts and I have always, always loved him. I am really excited to watch for this the next time I see this movie!

I'm gonna eat them beans while I watch the Twist House scene again right here on my computer. First time I've watched it thusly and being so close really helps with the details! Wonder if I'll hear the magic words :).

Weird. At the very moment I read the line above, I heard someone on the TV blaring in the next room, which my husband has fallen asleep in front of, say "I love you." I hope that's a good omen.
I hereby offer a huge reward to anyone else (in addition to Daphne and Barb) who backs me up on this. To be paid in a generous sum of smiley icons. Wolf, please crank your volume up as high as it goes and sit right in front of the screen and be prepared to notice the slightest little facial movement or sound. I can't emphasize enough its subtlety.
