The Bar Scene with Jack and Ennis
Toast:
This is a very thought provoking question from jakefan.
I didn't make the connection that Ennis was the one who set the tone when he stood at the top of the stairs and said "Jack fuckin' Twist" and proceeded to grab Jack (who was so receptive), knocked his hat off and gave him the kiss of his life. (I knew it happened that way, but I didnt compare it to the leader/led from 4 years earlier.)
Now I want to check out the elbows for marlb42 (and me too, of course.)
Xcellent thread guys and gals.
Lynne:
Welcome, jakefan and marlb42!
This is a terrific thread! All this time, and I haven't EVER thought about the dartboard or the ray of sunshine - thanks Amanda! And I *LOVE* the newbies who are getting these conversations going again! YEE-HAW!
:-*
jakefan:
Thank you for your comments Toast and Lynne. I'm trying not to get up from the computer to watch the scene again :).
Toast:
I agree with you jakefan - we are torn between the computer and the video - and trying not to forget that we have a real life away from Jack and Ennis, too.
And marlb42: I have six images that I think answer the elbow question:
In frame 2 Jack moves his elbow further in on the bar and toward Ennis a bit.
In frames 3 and 4 Ennis (first) and then Jack have moved their elbows away from the other guy.
In frame 5 Ennis has taken his elbow and arm off the bar.
When Jack passes the lighter, he retracts his elbow away from Ennis.
The elbows do NOT touch.
Nieither do the fingers when they pass the lighter.
next? - lol
Cameron:

oh well, but in 1 and 2 they do look awfully close!!!!
Thanks :)
