The Bar Scene with Jack and Ennis
Toast:
How is this for flirting??
Back to your topic, Jakefan
your question was about Ennis following Jack
and about Jack being willing to take the lead.
I just studied the scene of Jack and Ennis walking on the sidewalk, and in answer to "and why would Jack let him walk behind him."
Actually if you watch carefully you will see that Jack stays on the inside (their left) of the sidewalk with enough room for Ennis to walk beside him.
Ennis stays on the right side of the sidewalk but a couple of steps behing Jack,
As they get to the overhanging roof in front of the bar, Ennis actually steps into the street - maybe to get a wider view of the unfamiliar territory coming up.
Ennis really presents himself as the subordinate person in that scene. (or maybe sizing up his new buddy - lol)

Amazing. Toast, you are the master of visual effects.

First off, I am doing fine. Thank you for asking Pierre. How are you? This is amazing. Of course, I have to watch this scene again because my mind is going a mile a minute. I never noticed that Jack walks on the left side of the sidewalk and Ennis is on the right side and that they are walking in sync (why would I think otherwise :)). I completely missed what was behind their heads in this scene. Wow...I feel like I have missed a bunch of details. Toast, I completely forgot about what is written in the screenplay. Thank you for posting it for me. I just thought that maybe this scene is to show how their relationship has evolved from then to when they are on the mountain. First, Ennis is a step behind Jack, then he is riding beside him (like Toast said), and then, he finally takes the lead at the Reunion Scene.

Wow, how does the picture move like that"
I have a question, do their elbows touch at all at the bar when Ennis gets the lighter, it sort of looked to me like they do.
Or am I mistaken?
If not, another early sign..
Another early sign

I'm not sure. If not, they are pretty close. Good observation.
