I noticed something in Ennis's trailer a while ago and while looking it up at the screencaps at stripedwall today, I made two new observations (at least new to me).
All three observations take all place in the second to last scene, when Alma jr visits her daddy at his trailer.
Purple plaid in Ennis's trailer:We all know the famous purple chairs at the Twist home in Childress:
I think there's a visual bookend to Ennis's trailer: Ennis has a purple plaid covering his bed:
The purple is almost the same color as the chairs, only a bit darker. It strikes me strange for Ennis to have purple plaid, and therefore it cought my attention. I think the color is chosen by purpose (therefore it's a bookend).
Within the story the best explanation for it is that it's probably a hand-me-down from whoever, just like the rest of the trailer's interior.
Junior's handbag:Junior arrives, leaves the car, greets her daddy and they walk together towards the trailer. Junior has no handbag; I checked the scene at the DVD. But later, when she sits on the bed, there's a
thing lying between her and the huge fan of which I'm pretty sure it's a handbag:
What do you think? Is it a handbag? If not, what else could it be?
Its position in both pics is slightly different, too.
Ennis's hat:In this pic, Ennis's hat hangs behind him, at the wall between the "bathroom" and the rest of the trailer.It's above the blue rack in the background:
But when he comes back into the trailer after Junior has left, Ennis hangs it at the left outside wall:
I don't know why and whether this is important at all, but I noticed.
