I would exchange a Cassie scene for another later-camping-scene with Jack and Ennis any day. I feel like we really don't have enough information about Ennis and Jack in the later years of their relationship to even really grasp how the dynamics between them evolve. It's a shame that Lee focuses so much attention on the tension between them too in the later years.

...and I agree with YOU 100 percent! Someone pointed out that the later scenes of Jack & Ennis, they are sitting apart from each other "like a couple of straight guys." I know sometimes it's about the camera angle, but they could have sat shoulder to shoulder, or had their legs intertwined while sitting by the fire. Lovers often rest their hands on the other person's thigh, etc. If we couldn't have another love scene we could have at least had an affection scene! Something that shows they were very familiar and comfortable with each other.

But they do ... in TS3. It is that scene that seems very intimate and loving (albeit not near as intense or graphic as it was in the beginning of the film).

I agree with you as well. The 2003 screenplay show much more scenes of later and different camping trips, BUT no FNIT OR SNIT at least from the inside.

I do like Cassie, But after the first scene,she could have been replaced with more Jack and Ennis.

I agreed also. I find myself skipping some of her scenes also, but I felt she is neccessary in telling the story of Ennis' life.
