They had so much chemistry I have no idea where to even BEGIN!
I liked their first discussion in the bar: Ennis discussing his family, Jack's obvious empathy, and obvious awkwardness.
Water Walkin Jesus: if that isn't chemistry, nothing is!
The scene where Ennis never shuts up, where he says more then he had in two weeks.
The scene where Jack yells, 'You're late' as he puts corn into the pot....
The scene where ...hell, why go on?? there is chemistry everywhere in the film!
They had it between themselves as ACTORS, and also as MEN . That lovely story about Jake on the set of Zodiac has always moved me a great deal. Some of the techies were showing each other photos of 'their sweethearts'. Jake joined in and asked, 'Do you guys want to see a picture of MY sweetheart???'
They said of course, sure, let's see....
He showed them a picture of himself and Heath Ledger.
That's chemistry. That's friendship.
It is everywhere in the film, and it was between them in real life.
You can't fake this; no matter how good an actor you are, chemistry either exists or it doesn't.
And it makes the last few weeks even harder.....
You're right in everything you say,Brokebackjack,and mainly in this:You can't fake this; no matter how good an actor you are, chemistry either exists or it doesn't.And their chemistry as an actors were undeniable,but even more as a persons. I really think there was something very special between them that surpassed the screen and their good acting on it;a friend told me that he had read a reporting in which they speak about their relationship,saying that when they're between family or commun friends,even before Michelle herself,they didn't stop to show mutual affection,with caresses,hugs,continuous jokes...And that they did it without being concerned about what could think the others;but,obviously,between close people,in order not to giving reasons to paparazzi and vultures in general...
That when they went to a Jake's parents property,they used to go alone for excursion,walking during hours in the forest or taking a bath in the river-more Brokeback,impossible...-And that when Heath and Michelle decided to split,one of the first persons who knew it was Jake,who tried to convince them not to do it.
With all this,I'm not speaking for a morbid sensation or for gossip-if you know me personally,you'd know I'm not the gossip kind at all...-; and neither I'm suggesting that there was sex between them,no way.But there surely was a strong love relationship,let's say brotherly love or a loved based in an emotional attraction,but there was love...Could there be anything more tender,sweeter and nicer?I see them as two "little" Ennis and Jack,in their mountain when they were to the forest or in their private Brokeback every time they saw each other,even among a lot of other persons.I feel now a great regret for this beautiful truncated friendship,a bond that only death has broken.Life can be very cruel sometimes.
P.S.=I hope all this has made sense,since English is really my fourth language and I have some difficulties in explaining myself.Sometimes I don't understand what you're saying and sometimes I don't understand what I'm writing myself...
But,please,if it can offend somebody,edit it.
