Second thing: This news is currently making the rounds, and I just confirmed it for myself last night. The new tidbit of information is that Jack, in the first tent scene, can be heard to mutter "Fuck me" two or so times right after Ennis enters him. The words are spoken so softly as to barely register, but once heard, they are definitely present. The camera even rests on Jack's (actor Jake's) face as he utters these lines. When I first heard this news, the words somehow didn't seem right for the character in this moment, but they felt completely true and appropriate when I actually heard them. This further suggests Jack's worldliness (relative to Ennis), experience, and lust. [/quoteI I FINALLY HEARD IT BUT ONLY ONCE SO FAR
So, here's a question. What's your favorite subtle detail amongst all the lovable subtle details? I'm sure this may be an impossible question for some of you... and I thought it would be for me too. But, the more I think about it the more I realize that the way the wheel on Jack's truck spins out at the very beginning in front of Aguirre's trailer truly is my favorite detail. I remember loving that detail from my very first theatre viewing of the film. Who knew that a truck could have personality?! And they say that pets come to resemble their owners after a good number of years together... well maybe the same is true with old truck.
Doesn't she have intensely blue eyes in that scene, just like Jack??
