PERFECT, but...
serious crayons:
OK, that's it, I'm startin a thread about that killin line.
BTW, maybe I'm in the minority, but I wouldn't want "little darlin" and those other Story Ennis lines in the movie. It would alter Movie Ennis' character and change everything.
But another endearment or two from Ennis -- subtle, like "sending up a prayer of thanks," or even nonverbal -- would be welcome.
delalluvia:
Have Jake redo the 'waiting for Ennis because the bear scared off the mules' scene. His outburst at Ennis when he first shows up sounds forced.
and
I wish there had been a shot of Ennis looking up - just a quick glance - when Jack first drove off in the truck after coming down from BBM the first time. It takes a bit of a stretch for anyone who hasn't read the short story to get that Ennis is upset about leaving Jack. You have a reaction shot of Jack's regret, but not Ennis' and it looks like Ennis' reaction comes out of nowhere. You have to really keep the fight on the mountain and Ennis pouting in mind to make sense of that scene.
and
'I wish I could quit you'. The way Jake says it in the voiceover in the trailer sounds much better than it did in the movie.

I Might* have added a quick flashback during the closet scene to show what two shirts those really were. A lot of people who did not read the short story thought, for whatever reason, that those were the shirts Jack died in.

i don't know. I got it in my first viewing and I had read the short story before hand. I think a flash back would have interrupted Ennis's moment as well as the intensity of the moment.

I leave for one day, and yall done lost your minds.
This movie is perfect. Perfect, I tell you. :-)))
cmr107:
I agree about not wanting a flashback to the fight. It seems like it would interupt the scene in a weird way. People who don't get it can just watch it again. ;D
And Mandy (LG), I agree about "I'm nothin, I'm nowhere." Sorry everyone!
