PERFECT, but...

Me too. In a way, Ang tipped the scales a bit conservatively where the relationship is concerned. Given that there was considerable cutting room floor action, I could have stood a few more scenes of warmth and love. Makes the loss even harder.

Well, I did it to myself didn't I? I'll see if I can find it amidst the unlabeled tapes...
Like I recently told someone else on a different subject: Will = way.
;)

I know this has been discussed before, but I really hated Bobby's "I'm gonna be eatin' this food for the next two weeks."
MandyI - Awwwww... I loved "I'm nothin'. I'm nowhere." To each their own, I suppose :)
Bee - I agree, I would have liked to have seen a flashback during the closet scene. My mom, for example, didn't understand that those were the shirts during their "fight", she thought they were just two of Jack's shirts. And that is such a crucial aspect of the film.
RT - Good thread, thanks for starting it. :-*
Also, I would have liked to have seen another tender moment between Jack & Ennis. I mean I know Ang (..etc) purposely held back, but I would have liked just another glimpse. A touch, a look between them, anything..
AH, rt, you replied while I was typing saying the same thing..

What a great pic! I hadn't seen that before! Ennis sure has his eyes on something special... ::)

Mandy (LG), I like the way you think. And I agree with you about the "I'm nothing... I'm nowhere" line reading. Took me out of it for a second, too. Still does every time. (Sorry, RT! --ducking and running-- ) And as much as it *pains* me to admit it, I have to agree with you, Julie, that I have the same problem with Jake's line reading of "You'd be better OFF sleepin' in the tent." He definitely put the accENT on the wrong syll-Ah-ble there. I'd have said it more evenly throughout, putting a slight crescendo on the word "tent" instead of on "off" - just more like the rhythm of the way people really talk.
Also, I'd have cast a little girl who has BROWN eyes and STRAIGHT hair to play the young Alma, Jr. I realize a little bit of nepotism was at play there, but tough tooty - she coulda been a featured extra in the fireworks scene instead.
Oh, and I'd have cast ANYONE other than the one who played Bobby. Or at least trained him some more on how to properly deliver his only line.
And I agree with you, Julie - I wish they'd kept the "Little darlin'" and the "I shoulda never let you outta my sights" in it in the *worst* way. But I have to say that I would have found a flashback to the fight pandering in the bedroom scene. Though I would have liked to see the extended scene preserved very much, too.
sparkle_motion:
I want the extended scene too, please!
Why do you think Ennis would have never threatened to kill Jack? IMO, it seems to match his angry behavior throughout the movie.
I really like that part too. It's one of my faves.
What I don't know, all them things I don't know, could get you killed if I come to know 'em!
And of course, if we didn't have that line, we wouldn't have this beautiful line:
...and then tell me you'd kill me for needin' something I don't hardly ever get.
I'm sorry if I'm off a word or two. I don't have my book with me.
