The mysterious "I love you" and other nearly indiscernible moments
twistedude:
Since everything he does from ther finding of ther shirts to the end of the movie sasysd exactly that, why doesd he have to SAY it? I don't hear it, bu5t of course I'll listen agaqin to make sure...

He doesn't "have to" say it, Julie. In other words, I don't get all excited about seeing it because it confirms something that I think would be otherwise in doubt. I saw the movie my first 12 times without seeing it and had no doubt whatsoever (in fact, I'm in the camp that believes Ennis himself had no doubt, much earlier than the closet scene).
No, I get all excited about it because it's just incredibly sweet and sad. But then, that's why I get all excited about pretty much the whole damn movie. It's incredibly sweet and sad whether you see the ILY or not.

Hii Katherine: well it is I, JakeTwist, reporting back.. here are my findings:
Cylinder? ...naw, I don't think that's what Ennis was reaching for, not in his character so soon in the evolution of their relationship. Besides it doesn't look to me like his hand is reaching that far... IMO.
And I did watch our beloved BBM from start to finish last night, and I replayed Ennis hugging the shirts, and I definitely do see one side of his mouth moving, (fluttering), but that's as far as I can surmise. Personally I don't think Ennis said ILY into the shirts, I just don't see him saying it to shirts, but that's just IMO.
I gotta go wrap my brain around a real humdinger of an OP that I have been assigned to come up with.... ;D AND I just won the part of John C. Twist in the C.T. production of Broken Arsed Mountain! Yeehaw!!! :) ;D :laugh:

Hello All,
I have been away for awhile, busy at work, but wanted to respond. I apologize for having used the word "cylindrical" or "cylinder" - I was just trying to be polite and not to offend anyone.
Anyway, since nobody else seemed to think I saw what I saw, I have watched BBM many more times (not that I need an excuse to watch it again, mind you). Something caught my eye which kind of confirms my theory. Right after Ennis spits and enters Jack, you can see Ennis' right hand reach around and make a rather swift back and forth motion for several moments. What else could he be doing? I can't imagine that he was doing that to Jack's "hand"....
Thoughts?
;)

No need to apologize, Daphne! It was a polite, cute and accurate way to describe it.
As for the swift back-and-forth motion, I haven't seen that. But if so -- wow, they thought of everything in this scene, hunh? I don't have the DVD at the moment, but perhaps I can check YouTube ...
