Hey Anke, who is that cavalier gentleman in yr avatar, and what is he saying??
I love that scene in the movie that is depicted in post #1 above. First of all, look how Jack's and Ennis's hats are inclined towards each other and almost touching. The beautiful flowing yin/yang line of their hats, that echoes the DVD cover art. Then, when you watch the scene, it is so beautiful how the smoky exhalation of Jack's reaches out and swirls around the blurry figure of Ennis and envelopes it. Its also beautiful how the sound is orchestrated, so that the splashing of the water comes at the same time as Jack's breath swirls around Ennis. It is just a lyrical visual ballet.
