Why was the Dozy Embrace so sad?
Cameron:
You know what else is different about the DE? It is the only scene in which Jack is totally quiet and Ennis is speaking, sort of. I guess that somehow also makes it different and special.
I said it before, but I will say it again. Oh, I would looooooooove to see the whole scene.
(I wish there was a "sigh" smiley here.)

Or at least the name of the song Ennis sang to Jack. Do you know, RossinIllinois?

No I sure don't. I was standing a bit off to the side when that was filmed and the dialogue was very soft spoken. I do remember in one take they even rocked a bit as he sang the words to the song. It was a very sweet scene. It seems in a lot of places Ang didn't like "sweet" once it was cut.

Yes, I planned it that way! ;D No, seriously, I think Ang put in the long tracking shot starting at the campfire and up Jack's jeans to help us make the transition. Altho some people probly got stuck at the Jack's jeans part! Also, he showed Jack in a 3/4 profile to make sure we saw the lack of sideburns and mustache. From the little bit of footage that made it into the film plus the rather loud background music it is iimpossible to tell what Ennis is humming. But I have privately thought it might have well been "heddy down" a lullabye that Woodie Guthrie sang to his son Arlo when he was young. I have a recording of this somewheres...
But it was probably really "Waltzing Matilda!" Ross, do you know??
