Yes, I definitely wish Ang Lee would have let the boys show more affection towards one another.  Just an arm around a shoulder or a pat on the back, a hug when they greeted each other whenever they got together.  Another tent scene would have been nice, with them both laying close to each other and just talking.  When they were sitting by the stream and Jack says "Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.", I wanted Ennis to go over to him and put an arm around him or hug him or something.  The book says upon parting after that initial summer, they each hit each other on the shoulder.  Even just that small touch between them would have been nice.
