Hand in glove
Front-Ranger:
You're right, Clarissa!! What a Krazy Koincidence!!
Brown Eyes:
Wow, the gloves are a prop element that I haven't considered very much in the past. There's probably quite a lot there to analyze (in the same way that buckets and coffeepots seemed to go a long way in the meanings they could convey). One thing I noticed is that Jack is wearing his gloves during the Water Walking Jesus scene. I always notice that actually. I always thought of it as being an early sign that Jack is more sensitive to the cold. But, in this case it might also be sort of a sexual innuendo since this is right before TS1.
Interesting thread!
:)
Front-Ranger:
Yes, Amanda, it could signify that the person with the gloves has the "upper hand" or is going to make the next move. Especially since taking a person by the hand happens in key scenes--somebody is always grabbing Ennis's hand and putting it somewhere! Aside from the obvious move by Jack that brought everything to a head (sorry, couldn't resist!), remember when Alma took Ennis's hand and placed it on her pregnant belly?
Front-Ranger:
Here's the scene where Ennis shoots the elk:
Front-Ranger:
In this scene, Jack has one gloved hand and one bare hand. The two are about to go off in two directions for four long years.
