"A" is awkwardness

The painful awkwardness of the hippie scene is probably one of many reasons why Ang decided to delete it.

Keeping in the hippie scene would have been a blunder of the highest degree.

"C" is creases

In profile, WE SEE the passenger take an old mashed-up Stetson off the dashboard.

This is ENNIS DEL MAR: about twenty, but nonetheless compelling, not light or frivolous in disposition, appearance or manner, uncommonly quick reflexes -- a high-school drop-out country boy with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life. Has outgrown his faded denim cowboy shirt, his wrists stick well out of the sleeves, the buttons gap.

                    ENNIS
              (straightens the creases of the hat, sets it on his head)
          That's Signal, ain't it?

                    TRUCKER
              (no conversationalist)
          Was the last time I come this way.

[2004 screenplay]

"D" is direct

PHOTOGRAPHER Say cheese.
JACK and LUREEN smile.
Flash goes off.

          LUREEN
     Mr. Twist, it was real nice of you to pick up my hat.
       (smiles at him)

          JACK
       (genuinely abashed)
     No big deal..it just fell off practically in my lap.

LUREEN, direct, smiles again.

After the film was edited, the infamous hippie scene ended up on the cutting-room floor.

Jack and Lureen shyly flirt as the flashbulb goes off.

"G" is gratefulness

The hippies expressed their gratefulness to Jack and Ennis by making them an offer they could refuse.

"H" is hipness

Jack teased Ennis about his hipness quotient which was a square number.

"I" is interruptus
« Reply #13669 on: June 18, 2007, 11:07:42 pm »
Ennis's rejection of the hippie girls' proposition is tantamount to coed-us interruptus.
