"Jack, I swear..." on the DVD

(1/5) > >>

SFEnnisSF:
Now, I saw BBM 38 times in the theatres.  Many different theatres to be exact.

I am 99% positive the "Jack, I swear" line is different on the DVD.  It sounds a little more quiet and emotionally reserved.  In the theatre it seemed more confident and powerfully delivered.

I'm also noticing more posts on TOB about people asking "What did he say at the end?"  We had none of that during the theatrical release.

Thoughts?

On this I will agree.  I had no problem hearing it multiple times in the theater.  When My
husband watched the DVD he called me to the living room and said, "What did he say?"

Sure enough, when I played it back, it almost sounded mumbled.

I have yet to watch the film's ending on my DVD--still too scared to let that devastation into my home. It'll happen sometime.

I do remember a few folks on TOB asking "What did Ennis say?", concurrent with others asking "What did he mean by that?" As I recall, even Oprah Winfrey asked Heath on her show what Ennis's last words were.

I wonder why the line would sound differently on the DVD than in the film. Would the people behind the DVD transfer really make a conscious effort to change it? It seems odd, and unpleasant to consider, as I would want the DVD to be as close as possible to what we experienced in the theater (though I confess I'm not complaining about the facial expressions and hand gestures I can now discern in the first tent scene).

Thanks for the heads up, sfericsf, and I'll keep my ears perked up when I do review this scene at some future time.

I think I've only watched the end of the DVD once-I can't handle of week of emotional down-time right now. I don't remember it being different but I'll watch it tonight.

SFEnnisSF:
In the theatre, the word "Jack" had more of a yjack sound to it.  And 'I swear' was sincere and confident.

On the DVD, it sounds as if he's whispering and over-emotional.  If it has been changed, it's as if they tried to put more crying emotion into the line.  It's as if he's talking through his breath.
