Story line you wish made it into the film...

Brown Eyes:
How do you all feel about the lines in the poll being left out of the film?  Would they have enhanced the film or would they have felt out of place in the film.  Are there other Proulx lines that you would have loved to hear in the film?

coffeecat33:
Actually that was a difficult choice. I also would have liked to hear little darlin' and I shouldna let you outa my sight.

"this aint no little thing happening here".......

very prophetic.......for them and us....

Lynne:
I picked 'That's one a the two things I need right now' because I think it could have been used to show more affection/intimacy between Jack and Ennis in their later years together.

It's hard though.  I also liked how in the short story, Ennis places his hand on Jack's thigh...again, the point for me being intimacy in their later years.

vkm91941:
Well I picked one but in reality I would like to have seen all these lines left in.  They all, in their place and context convey the love between Ennis and Jack and would put an end to all those jokers who claim this relationship is lust and sex driven only.   Because that just isn't so.
