Much fun!
As we've said before recently, the fact that for the first five minutes of the film at least not a word is spoken, but they convey so much just in the glances they exchange says so much - so much about Heath and Jake's skills as actors, as well as the relationship between Ennis and Jack. The shots where Jack's checking out Ennis in the rear view mirror while he's shaving are just so funny, and it continues from the jump-off where Ennis warns Jack about the horse having a low startle point - Ennis casts a few looks in Jack's direction when he thinks Jack isn't looking, and before Jack eventually manages to get the horse under control and set off, he turns and glances at Ennis again.
This one I think is the shot where he turns back to look at Ennis, and there's another one, one morning when he's setting off back to the sheep where he does a similar thing.
This one though is the one after it, and Ennis is definitely checking him out!
Probably the funniest though is when Ennis strips off and starts washing, and Jack's by the fire peeling potatoes trying not to look. You can tell he soooo wants to look, and he's kind of looking our of the corner of his eye while he's supposed to be concentrating on the potato!
Yeah, I guess Jack's looks and his flirting is kinda fun. There's just something in those looks that's sort of teasing Ennis, and trying to get some sort of response out of Ennis. I guess it works too, because I was thinking yesterday about FNIT and about how when Jack grabs his hand and he pulls away. I can't remember what he says,
but it really doesn't take him very long at all to get over that initial shock and decide to take things further. I don't think he'd have reacted that way if he hadn't already been aware of Jack's flirting and been thinking about the implications of that, even if on a sub-conscious level, although I suspect that he'd possibly consciously been aware of it.
