Why was the Dozy Embrace so sad?
RossInIllinois:
I worked on the Movie. Did you know the Dozy Embrace was really a whole scene that Ang Lee cut out? It was. Ennis sings Jack a whole song in that position one his Mother used to sing to him. It was a BEAUTIFUL scene, Why they cut it from the film I have no idea. What you see was supposed to be a flashback of that original scene. Its a shame they left the whole thing out. It was exquisite.

I'm not sure I would have liked that. The FB was so unexpected to a viewer who did not read the story. It was unsettling and comforting at the same time.
Cameron:
Wow!!! That would be something I would give anything to see. Well almost anything!! How incredible that you actually worked on the movie.
Lee, thank you for your wonderful answer. You did lay out all those things that do make it so melancholy.
Another thing was actually thinking about. In the book it is clearly Jacks flashback, but I was also wondering if in the movie it could have been Ennis's somehow.
I do wish there was some way to actually see the whole scene, I never ever knew that there was to be more.
Cameron:
Ross, I just read your post again. You mean it was to be a whole scene when it actually happened, up on the mountain?
If so when exactly was that? That's something else that I was always wondering about.
