My favorite scene in the movie (and you probably already know because I have said it so many times on IMDb) is when Jack and Ennis are riding side by side on their horses and Ennis looks over to Jack and flashes that beautiful smile. I don't think Jack saw this because he continued to look forward the whole time. But I like to think he caught this smile out of the corner of his eye. I don't know why I love this scene so much. But I do!
Hi David925:
I think you have mentioned that scene twice now, in the past couple of days, and I'm still not sure which one you mean... Not the one about playing the harmonica and scarin' off the sheep, no?
Are you speaking of a much later camping trip, when they are riding together and their horses are ever so close, almost touching? Is that the scene?
'Cause in that scene, I love how the horses are justsoclose together, makes me think that they just want to get as close as they can to each other, (Ennis and Jack, not LSP and Cigar Butt
) even while out riding. I sure wish Ang Lee hadn't scrimped so much on the tender moments of the later years. That's why I find fanfic such a comfort these days, especially since I am suffering through a viewing embargo of the DVD and of Youtube.
Please let me know will ya, 'cause I don't specifically remember Ennis smiling, and that's just not right.
Jane
