Question About the Lake Scene
jakefan:
I just watched finished watching the movie (again) and I noticed something that I did not notice before. At the Lake Scene, Jack says to Ennis that he'll head on up to Lightning Flat to visit the folks for a day or two. Right after he says this, he pauses and looks at Ennis for a second like he's waiting for a response from him. We find out at the end of the movie that Jack talked about Ennis to his parents, so I was thinking that Jack was hoping Ennis would want to come with him.
Lumière:
Maybe he was hoping Ennis'd come, sure .. although he might've known that Ennis was not going to do so.
I think he was also very broken up about leaving Ennis again (and at that point, he thought they were going to meet up again in August) .. Hard to imagine all the sad goodbyes year after year .. :-\

I think Jack knew that Ennis could not go, he only had so much time he could take off work. Perhaps he was leading on for another time.
Speaking of that scene, can you see how when Ennis falls to the ground it was made from two takes?
jakefan:
No, I didn't see that. Really? I can't believe I haven't noticed this. How can you tell? Please explain!

If you look Heath left elbow is bent against Jakes left shoulder, then dissapears invisable against Jakes chest, then reappears as he hits the ground with his hand nearly agains his own face. Similar to the lack of contuintiy Just before the punch at the scen at Brokeback.
