Another Deleted scene?
Wreeah:
Hi everyone..
I think this is my first post on this forum. I've read it many times, but I'm not sure if I've introduced myself. If I haven't I'll make a post to do just that shortly.
Just recently, I discovered this photo in Yahoo groups...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/kaijuman/cca8.jpg
If this has been discussed before, then please forgive me, I've been away for a while. But I'm curious about it. It was titled as Ennis in front of the Twist family plot where Jack was burried... but I know nothing else about it.
The photo doesn't look doctored, so I'm presuming it's a deleted scene.
Does anyone have any more info?
(and here I thought I knew all the deleted scenes!) ???
nakymaton:
I've seen that photo around (and another one, as well). I haven't anything more about it, though. There isn't a scene at the Twist cemetary in either of the early drafts of the script that I've read, but that doesn't mean the scene wasn't written, filmed, and then left out.
It's also possible that some of the photos floating around are photos, shot for publicity, rather than stills from scenes in the movie. (Most of the pictures of Jack and Ennis leaning against one truck or another are probably something like that, I imagine.)
It's a very poignant shot, though, that's for sure. (The bag! The emptiness of the northern plains! The heartbreak on Ennis's face!)
(And welcome, Wreeah!)

I believe that this has to be a deleted scene, not a promo picture like those 1,001 shots of jack and/or Ennis posing on or by the truck. (Not that I don't think each and every one of those posed shots are entirely worthwhile, mind you :) ).
Anyway, Ennis at the Twist plot hasn't been used in any promo that I've seen, and there are very few pics from the scene floating around..... and also it would in a way be giving away the film plot (no pun intended, certainly) too much, which doesn't make sense for promo shots. Plus, it's so sad, it hurts. So I'm pretty sure it has to be an actual deleted scene.
I've been wondering what Ennis is looking at in that first picture linked to here. Then recently I came across this one:
In the first pic he seems to be looking back towards that little copse of sorry-looking trees. Perhaps it's another crow, hidden in the branches, croaking loudly and ominously, just like when Ennis opened Jack's bedroom window. :'(
We'll never know, of course, unless that elusive special edition DVD with the deleted scenes as bonus material ever materializes. I'm continuing to hope for that to happen.
Dafna:
Both those pictures are lovely and heart breaking. Thank you.
I would not know if they were promo or from deleted scenes. I would imagine though there are deleted scenes out there that never made it to the movie. I too hope they will be available some day and soon.

Your way of thinking here is very plausible. I agree that it is probably from a deleted scene. Too spoiler-ish, too sad (or is it only *so* sad for us, who know and love the movie?).
Thank you for this picture, Mikaela :-*. I haven't seen it before.
