TOTW 05/09: Things that made you go "hunh?"
LauraGigs:
This is a discussion about little things in the film that didn't sit quite right with folks. In a loving way, what aspects of the film would you have done differently? This can be about both bloopers (regarding props, editing, etc.) and narrative elements (realism, timeline, etc.).
Brokeback_Dev:
The thing that always made me go hunh was when Jack took a shot at that coyote without taking the time to aim. As a result he missed his target. It never sat right with me. There was no big hurry. He could have took his time
serious crayons:
I would have rerecorded the line where Ennis drops off the "guhls" at the store. That has always bugged me, and it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal to fix. I was just thinking about this the other day! :laugh:
(Good TOTW, Laura!)
Brown Eyes:
I'd say that numerous mysterious aspects of the timeline provide the biggest "hunh" moments for me.
For example, the amount of time that Ennis dates Cassie and that Jack presumably sees Randall works out to be about 4 or 5 years if you look at various clues in the movie (such as the banner in the Childress dinner-dance scene). Therefore, these sideline relationships are fairly significant... if only for their duration. The fact that Ennis seems to only be mentioning Cassie for the first time during the final camping trip, when Jack asks him if he'd ever get married again... always seems a bit odd to me.
Yep, sure enough... great TOTW!

Yes, especially since he says it so casually. Not like he's finally revealing a deeply held secret on a highly sensitive subject, more like a "Well, now that you mention it ..." kind of thing.
