The mysterious "I love you" and other nearly indiscernible moments
Daphne7661:
Thanks Latjoreme and thank you for that insight on Cassie's use of falling in love.... I had never connected it. I guess I'm crying too hard watching Ennis all alone with that little piece of pie...
Breaks my heart but good!!!!!!

OK, another session of skipping around the DVD in my now habitual cranked-volume, glued-to-screen, constantly rewinding posture. Here are my impressions:
"F me" -- I see where you're talking about, and he could be saying that, or any number of other things, or just breathing.
"Sorry/s'alright" -- I really like Daphne's interpretation of Jack saying "sorry." It seems to fit what's happening onscreen perfectly.
Holding hands -- Undoubtedly. Hands, not any other parts. For the record, I think it's Ennis who grabs Jack's hand.
"C'mere" -- Yes, said by Jack in TS2, and by Ennis at the reunion before and after the kiss.
Wedding ring -- barely a glimpse, but only because I've got a letterbox DVD.
"Oh, Jack" -- I saw the part where he tenderly touches the pocket, Daphne, but couldn't make out actual words.
"I love you" -- Absolutely. I become more sure of it with every viewing.

As to the "Oh Jack" - that one is definitely a tough one. Sometimes I can hear it as plain as day, and other times, it's a tentative maybe. But I do believe he says it. I'm almost positive. It's just barely audible and definitely not on the subtitles.
As to the "hand holding" - if you look closely at Ennis' right hand at almost the very end of TS1, you will see that his hand is "holding" onto something - how do I put this .... - cylindrical (for lack of a better word which I can't seem to come up with right now). What I mean to say is that he does not appear to be holding Jack's hand. In fact, Jack's right hand is holding Ennis' right forearm, so, technically, they couldn't be holding hands, right?
My DVD remote control has a "zoom" button on it, and if I zoom in just right, I think I can see clearly that they are not holding hands. My problem is that this scene, at least on my DVD, is very dark.
Anyway, (and as Jack says.... "Fer what it's worth"), I'm glad you heard the "I Love You".
;)

I have no problem with Ennis actually breathing/saying it into the shirts (in fact I quite like the idea, and not because I need for him to in an idiot American sort of way but because I just think it's lovely), since my interpretation of "I swear" is, well, self-evident.

I thought Jack pulls Ennis hand. The way I remember it, he pulls it hard as if wanting more.
I don't know about the "I love you". I don't think he says it or even whispers it but then again I could've missed it.
