"It ain't right."

They're either intense -- TS1 and 2, reunion -- or they're just talking BUT NOT TOUCHING. Once they become lovers, the only other time they touch that I can think of is when Jack strokes Ennis' cheek after the Earl story. But I could use a lot more of that, especially under happier conditions.
Personally, on this issue I think Ang went way overboard with his restraint. Or would that be, Ang went way underboard?

I assume you're counting the motel scene in with the reunion? Then there's that poignant little moment in the post-divorce scene when Jack starts to caress Ennis as if to pull him in for a hello kiss and Ennis removes his hands and leads him over to meet the girls. That always makes me hurt. :(
Yeah, if Ang has one fault, it's restraint. ;)

Well, and then later I thought of TS3 and the dozy embrace. I don't know how I forgot about all of these. OK, never mind, I guess I was wrong. Turns out there was enough after all.
KIDDING!!!! Never enough physical affection, never enough. :-\

Then there's that flash back scene during their final fight when Ennis came up from behind and cuddled Jack. That was one of my favorite scene of them together. That was love and closeness not just about sex. It was so sweet and perhaps Jack's happiest moment ever.

This has always seemed off to me -
In the "Ennis, you know someone name a Jack?" scene, when Ennis picks up that very first postcard from Jack and reads it, there are already marks of wear and wetness on the lower corners where he holds it with his thumbs, as though we're seeing the tenth take of those freshly-wetted hands holding the postcard.
