But what about Jack and Ennis' GESTURES and FACIAL EXPRESSIONS? Do any of you catch yourself making the same facial expressions or gestures that Jack and Ennis make?
Constantly! Now that's something that no one would ever notice me doing, even if they'd seen the movie 100 times, because I'm sure I look nothing like them from the outside when I do it. But I feel like them from the inside. Here are some of my expressions:
-- The one Jack makes when he says "Course, he hates my guts." (I also say "course" rather than "of course" more often these days.)
-- The one Ennis makes after Jack says "Now let's git, unless you want to sit around tying knots all day." (I try to do the slightly crossed eyes.)
-- The one Ennis makes when he's packing up the horse after TS1 (not the baleful one he gives to Jack about supper, just the stoic one right before that).
-- The one Ennis makes after telling the story of Earl and Rich. Or maybe I don't actually do that one, but I think about it a lot.
-- When I'm lying in bed and want to turn and look out the window behind me, I flip my neck back in that graceful way Ennis does when he's lying in the tent carving the horse (I probably don't look quite as graceful, though).
I'll try to think of some others. Tell you what, mvansand76, I am constantly aware of this expression thing! Good topic.
