A couple things.
1.During the lake scene confrontation (which I love, so put down those tomatoes, please!
), Jack looks like Yosemite Sam. I think it's the outline the hat, the boots, and even the jacket.
2.While I admire Ang's artistic restraint, I wish there had been more love scenes between our boys. The first few times I saw BBM, I was deeply disappointed, and, heck, pretty annoyed, that the stuff in the tent scenes was in shadow, too dark to see. Luckily, with the DVD, I found if I tilt my folks' old laptop screen just right, the illumination improves dramatically, and I can actually see their faces, expressions, eye movements, and the kissing! Yeehaw!
3. I wish Ang had held the shot of Ennis in the phonebooth (after he hangs up with Lureen) longer.
4. I LOVE Jake's expression and mannerisms throughout the film. But something doesn't feel true to me in the first moment of his reaction when he realizes Ennis is crying. When he kind of throws his hands up. I can't really explain it, but it feels off to me.
5. It's weird how Jenny disappears completely from the film after Thanksgiving. She is only ever mentioned again twice, both times by Alma Jr. Anyone notice how in most of the scenes where Ennis is leaving the girls with Alma, he only kisses Alma Jr.? Poor overlooked Jenny.
Also don't get why her name was changed from Francine (in the story) to Jenny (in the movie).
