What happens right after Tent Scene 1?

(1/10) > >>

slayers_creek_oth:
This may have already been discussed but I was talkin to McK about it and was wondering....

What happens right after they 'get it on?'  Do they just lay back down and go to sleep?  You know what I mean.....they wake up the next morning side by side but what happens inbetween?  No talkin?  No cuddlin?  Nothing? 

I've always wondered......

littleguitar:
I always thought so... I think it says in the story something like that as well.  That next morning Ennis looks pretty rough and they are both pretty unsure of what to say to each other so I doubt they said anything right after it happened.

I've always had the impression that the boys fell into a drunken sleep really fast after their first tryst. The scene of Ennis collapsing onto Jack's back suggests both emotional and physical exhaustion to me, and then there's that cutaway shot to the tent's exterior, conveying a quieter mood following the passionate outburst that just occurred inside.

However, one must take note that we see Jack the next morning, asleep with his coat on. He took the coat off when making his moves on Ennis, so he had to be conscious for long enough after the sex to put it back on. But I still don't feel it likely that Ennis and Jack had much conscious interaction after Ennis's orgasm.

Just my thoughts...

In the book, they went to back to sleep almost immediately. (Ennis had snored on the canvas floor of the tent before Jack invited him into the bedroll - Ennis did not try to sleep outside in the book that night as in the movie.) When Ennis woke up in the book, Jack's butt was against his crotch.

That drifting off to sleep immediately afterwards seems to be what was in the movie, too; because when Ennis wakes up after it is getting light outside, his jeans are still pushed down below his hips.

ProwlAmongUs:
I don't believe much happened after the initial sex scene. After the emotion and sexual energy was released, I'll bet the guys were spent and just fell asleep. I do think, however, that it's significant that Ennis stayed in the tent for the remainder of the night rather than going back outside. Knowing him, I wouldn't have been surprised if he had lit a new fire and taken any coats/blankets he could find and spent the rest of the night outdoors... He didn't, so even though the scene was "raw" it was something the guys needed to get out of the way so they could move on with their feelings.
