Why is the "dozy embrace" in the film?

And another thing, it makes the best use of Jake's eyelids. He has the best eyelids in the business (with Tilda Swinton a close second). Would you agree?

I agree that the contrast between the past and the present makes the scene much more poignant. That scene just kills me every time I see it because I know what they had and what they could have had.
As for Jake’s eyelids …. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed them before. I have always noticed his beautiful blue eyes (but I’ll check out the eyelids tonight). ;)
Front-Ranger:
Good eyelid scenes (besides the flashback) are: peeling potatoes and best of all, the smoldering look just before Jack lassos Ennis on the Last Day.

I love it! Something new to check out! (Not that I mind checking anything out on Jake! ::))

Beautiful eye lids....absolutely beautiful.......
Front-Ranger:
Jennifer Anniston's character even commented on it in "The Good Girl", about how his eyelids gave him a faint look of tragic melancholy. But as a redneck, I don't think she phrased it exactly that way. ;)
