"It ain't right."
Brown Eyes:
All of the "secondary" relationships are given much more time and attention in the film. I don't even think Cassie is mentioned by name in the story. I think the screenplay writers thought of this as a way to flush out and expand the story for a movie-length telling of the story... but they also could have done this with more analysis of how Jack and Ennis's relationship itself grew. Honestly, we don't have much of a clue as to how they interacted with each other in later camping scenes (other than silent-scenic shots, brief arguments, abrupt cuts, etc.). I've complained about this a lot, but it's bothering me more and more as time goes on.

True enough. I would love to see a couple more scenes of Jack and Ennis or extend the existing scene more.

I agree, The 2003 screen play shows a lot more of the later trips. I always used to wish that we could see their last moments together, between"I can't stand..." and Ennis driving away. But these were their private moments and we know without even seeing Jack watch Ennis drive away that he stay as long as he needed to to comfort Ennis, and make sure he was ok.
