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

Well, more than a touch, I guess. Inner torment is pretty much Ennis' middle name!

Yes indeed!
And, I'm in the heartbreak + inner torment camp.
I've never really viewed the dry-heaves scene as being about self-loathing (although, now that this concept has been raised, I certainly can understand why some viewers might come to this interpretation). Also, by montaging the retching scene with the wedding scene (or at least a sound montage... with the voice of the "happy preacher" coming into the alley scene before we see the wedding) I often wonder if the dry-heaves have something to do with Ennis already regretting and worrying about the impact of a marriage on his life (foreshadowing regret about all that comes to pass during the relationship).

Here's a visual aid for the dry-heaves scene. ;D

Thanks Moremojo, thanks ineedcrayons, and thanks atz75!!!
Boy, this subject: At what moment in BBM did you realize that they were falling in love? .... sur can be many possible answers!!! It is interesting! We can now think of the dry-heaves scene...
too, as very important!! As this is like a mystery too!!
Is the the dry-heaves scene
also in Annie's book? Or created only by the script or screen writers, or by the director (Lee)??
Hugs!
P.S. Is this the dry-heaves scene... depression?
brokeplex:
narrative from the screen play:
"He stumbles into an alley, drops to his knees. Kneels there, silent, as pain, longing, loneliness, overpower ENNIS -- emotions stronger than he's ever felt for another person consume him : he feels as bad and confused as he ever has in his life."
Artiste:
Thanks all!!
Brokeplex since you quote the script about Ennis': ... emotions stronger than he's ever felt for another person consume him : he feels as bad and confused as he ever has in his life."
........
Brokeplex, in this dry-heaves scene, does the script mention really that Ennis thinks then about Jack? Could it be that he thinks about Alma Sr. instead? But the director (Lee) took liberty of that to make us, the spectator(s) view it as Ennis thinks about Jack?
Plus, what is said in the book? Any mention there at all about dry-heaves?
........
To some viewers, maybe this scene is when Ennis feels that he realizes his love for Jack?
.............
Hugs!! Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas and Holidays to you all!!
