i do chuckle during the summer 63 scene... but how come none crossing my mind NOW???

all i can think off instead, are the sentimentals ones...

ohh...there is one,..

when Ennis introdues jack to Alma,...there may be a 2 ricther earthquake on where the guys are standing.

the ounding chest.. oh so highschool.

Ennis should have worn himself a sign "i am in Love!!"

Ennis should have worn himself a sign "i am in Love!!"

The sign would read:

I am sooooo in love
and I'm horny as hell, and in a few minutes
 we'll be f*cking each other silly
and four years is damned too long
I can't believe he's finally here
I'm not capable of one single coherent thought
I'm so happy I'm this || short of bursting

Tell you what... he didn't need a sign. We and Jack (and Alma) could see it anyway. Though maybe Jack's vision might have been a bit impaired by his own sign  ;).


A funny classic hasn't been mentioned yet: "Tent don't look right." Cracks me up every time. The whole following conversation is funny and cute; love our boys bantering. But Ennis's initiatory remark is truly a classic.

when Ennis got a bad day with the bear and made Jack waited for him,

 there is this relieved smile on Jack's face when he heard Ennis coming,  then he quickly change his cute face to a pissed-off mode and started bitching in no time.

always consider it a high-level entertainment.

don't we do that as well many times guys?

As a wife and mother I have done that many many times.....worry sick, when husband or kids are late or havent turned up as expected, then when they arrive safe, yell at them, for being late.......

I often have a giggle about Jack....he is like a husband who has been out working all day and gets back to find the wife isnt there cooking his dinner.....
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Katie77,

that's the thing isn't it? i remember Oprah W said on her interview with the cast, that there is no streotype.

i meant, the way i see it, sometimes Jack acted "masculin" as in the above example,  he was also the one who was more aggresive in this relation ship. did the driving, the contacting, the "proposals"...

but in the other way we can also see Ennis performed his manly jobs, (shot down the elk if that counts, that counts in my place though...girsl can't shoot here),  doing little things what a man would do for his loved one.

they are simply complementary to each other, fulfiling each other's need.

i hope many relations can be at their level of loving.

A scene that's not only funny, but charming, and one many people don't talk too much about is Ennis and Alma in the snow on their honeymoon.  I love the sheer joy of their new marriage and need to recall this when I think of their darker times and the end of their marriage.

I love Laureen's quick smirk when Jack tells her daddy to sit his "ignorant ass down...etc..."    Laureen loves her Dad, but there's that "To know him is to love him thing" going on there too, eh?

Hi Rayn- I'm glad you had an awesome time in Alberta,

I love it when Ennis and Jack are riding with the sheep and Jack is playing the harmonica, and Ennis says to Jack, "You'll run the sheep off again if you don't quiet down." Ennis then looks at Jack with a big smile as they move along.

Love that scene.  :) I think that it is so charming and indicates the feelings that Ennis has for Jack.


For how long? As long as we can ride it; ain't no reins on this one.

I USED to laugh outloud every time I'd see ther scene where Ennis punches Jack ouit...until asomeone explained to me that Ennis is informing Jack (a sort of pre-inform) that "it ain't gonna be that way."


Hmmm. Never thought of that.  Learn a new way of seeing things in this movie all the time.  Even after 4 years.
