At what moment in BBM did you realize that they were falling in love?

Do you have an example?

Yeah, I think so too. His reaction is exactly the reaction I have to guys I really like. For some weird reason, I can't look at them directly.
Front-Ranger:
Not looking at example: The prime one is where Ennis is washing and Jack is peeling potatoes, but there are several others, such as when they're both sitting by the fire and they are either staring at the fire or at the whiskey bottle. Not touching each other: One scene that didn't make it into the movie was when they spent the night in Jack's truck before going up the mountain. The screenplay says that Jack slept in the driver's seat while Ennis was awake in the passenger seat, looking very uncomfortable. Also, Jack pours whiskey into Ennis' cup rather than just handing him the bottle. When they do touch, it's exagerated as if there is some pent-up energy. Thus, Jack practically knocks Ennis over after he shoots the deer and Ennis obliges by then knocking Jack over. Of course, there's the tussle scene at the end of the mountain part, where Ennis realizes he's in over his head and slugs Jack.

Surely the question should be when did you realise you were falling in love with them? ;D ;) :) :-* :P :angel:

my answer to that would be when I was lying in bed at 5am crying convulsively for the boys.
