The "I LOVE everything about that summer on the mountain" thread
belbbmfan:
I love the 'You'll run them sheep off again, if you don't quiet down' And the smile Ennis gives after that! He's sooo happy and relaxed, at peace with himself and his life with Jack!
ednbarby:
Good one, belbbmfan, and welcome!
I love the way Jack *so* carefully and deliberately asks Ennis "Your brother and sister do right by you?" It's acheingly beautiful (borrowing from Wolfie again) how much he obviously cares about Ennis and also understands him enough to know that he needs to tread very carefully, here.
belbbmfan:
thanks, ednbarby. Thought I'd stop 'lurking' and start posting! :)
I love Jack's expression as he listens to Ennis telling him about his brother and sister. The joy on his face that Ennis is opening up to him! Oh, and that little smile he gives just before he says 'Friend, that's more words than you've spoke in two weeks.' Like he can't believe his luck...
And at the same time, what a sad story Ennis is telling. How lonely he has been...
ednbarby:
I love the way Ennis backs up to look at the tent and then says, "Tent don't look right." This is actually mirrored at the end of the movie when he backs up to look at his mailbox after just affixing number stickers to it.
serious crayons:
Hey, belbbmfan, let me second the welcome!
And I wondered today if "tent don't look right" has a subtext. Like, tent don't look right because you and I aren't in it together! ;) Course, he wouldn't say that. So maybe more like, tent don't look right ... because its purpose and significance is about to change.
I love the part where, right after Ennis says he ain't had the opportunity to sin (which of course I also love), Jack goes, "Hmmmm!" like, "That's intriguing!" I always laugh at this line, because it reminds me of that post in the old cowboy etiquette thread: "If your camping partner tells you he has never had the opportunity to sin, then you are obliged to present the opportunity."
