Ennis crying -- Independent Spirit Awards

[welliwont]

For a long long time (two months?) there was a most fantastic rumour circulating, about an alternate take of the scene where Ennis finds the two shirts in Jack's closet, and he loses it.  According to an anonymous source (rt) the clip was shown at the Independent Spirit Awards in March. 

It is a truly awesome moment.  He picks up the shirts, does what we see in the final cut, then stumbles, leans against the wall, clutches the shirts and...bawls

Some of us searched high and low and beat the bushes, and on June 9th Grace (twobloodyshirts) was victorious in her quest and posted links to it on BetterMost.  Thank you Grace!!!  And thanks go also to twister71 over at Wranglers who uploaded the video clip to megaupload.com for all Brokies worldwide to enjoy.

More is always better!

Hell, they could add another four hours to the movie and I'd drool over every minute of it.   Even the mundane stuff.     Jack brushing his teeth,  Ennis castrating the calves,  Jack taking a shower.....Oops!

Wow... thank you thank you thank you thank you...

My opinion, the movie cut is jusssst perrrrrfect.  No need to add anything to it.  However, they should have included ALL the out-takes of BBM as part of the bonus features of BBM DVD.   I don't mind view additional scenes as Jack or Ennis brushing teeth, taking shower, riding horses, and, and, etc

They didn't have showers silly, they had baths in the river!  Or sponge baths by the campfire.  Haven't you ever been camping?

I like the ISA clip.  From what we're shown of this alternate version it still looks pretty quick.  I would like to see more of Ennis's emotional side at this point anyway.  I still want to know how in the world this alternate clip ended up being shown at the ISA??  And, if the ISA clip wins in the poll should we alert Focus Features or anyone else who might be responsible for the delux DVD, whenever that might appear?

Yes!!!  I like the direction you're goin'!  make it happen Amanda!  And can you tell Ang that we also want the deleted scenes of all the boys' fishing trips, from 1967 up to and including 1983, and tell him not to leave anything out this time!  Tell 'im it's for grown adults and he does not have to censor anything, we can stand it!

I thought the movie was cut perfect--in the first plasce, Ennis is supposed to be SMELLING the shirts, not crying into them.  Couple of tears O.K, but niot a big production. By the way, I coukdn't tell the two apart, and they both looked overdone...as far as outtakes are converned, sure I'd love to see anything...mesnehile, I'm wiriting some "outtakes" of my own. It's funny, dharacters in fanfiction have a mind of their own--some things they'll do, with bells on, and some--nope.
This still is from the movie: click to enlarge

I haven't answered the poll, because I don't mind what version of the scene was released - they are both amazing.  The as-released version was so good, any extra availalbe footage is icing on the cake.  But I'm getting hungry for that icing to be released on DVD so bad!!
Maybe the collective thought power of BBM fans willing the special edition DVD into existence will actually work!!

Ha ha ha!     I meant in their everyday life at home.    I'm sure both Jack and Ennis took many a hot shower at their respective homes and were thinking of eachother while doing so.   


Jack and Ennis are so real to many of us.   Just seeing more of their mundane daily activities would be fine!      Jack in Childress interacting with the local townfolk.  Ennis taking the girls out for Ice cream.   Hell, Jack unloading 120 bottles of formula from L.D.Newsomes car.  (Probably a big ol' Cadillac with bulls horns on the hood!)   LOL.

Jack stopping for gas on the road between Childress and Riverton.    Ennis getting the horses ready for when he brought them to meet Jack on their camping trips.   Alma at work seeing Fish forsale then walking away in disgust.   Oh yeah, this could be a 20 hour mini-series.   I'm sure we'd all be glued to the TV !

I had to pick the scene where Our Ennis expresses more.

Count me in for the 20 hour mini-series: Jack looking for his blue parka and shopping for purple chairs, Ennis watching that whole episode of Kojak.
