What is behind Jack and Ennis' hats?
Mikaela:
Diane and Katherine, thank you for the lovely comments. :)
(I'm trying to remind myself to remember to give more positive feedback. There are so many insightful and wonderful posts to be read from all of you here and it's too easy to forget to say so before I hit the keyboard to post my own view on the topic at hand...... )
I can't believe I forgot the reunion knocking--the-hat-off moment in my list above. It's been mentioned in this thread, so it's not been forgotten (how could it, ever?) - but still. No overview of memorable BBM hat moments is complete without that one prominently featured.
**reminiscing mode**
After I'd read and fallen in love with the short story back in November (I think), one of the first actual film clips I got to see (beyond the trailer) was a relatively poor copy of the reunion kiss that someone had copied onto the net from the Logo Special. Don't know how many times I played that clip. It made such an impression. The whole thing, of course.... but the urgency of Ennis knocking that hat off is certainly part of it. :-*

It shows the passion Ennis is feeling, the knocking the hat off was the first thing that struck me about the whole scene, and still, that's what gets to me most when I watch the movie. I also love that Jack, after a fraction of a second, lays his hand against Ennis' head, I always notice the wedding ring then. Sorry, that had nothing to do with hats...

It doesn't matter! ;DThese are free flowing discussions.
Yeah ... the wedding rings. :( I have to admit that I hate seeing those rings during the reunion scene. Not sure why that bothers me so much, but it does. Am I the only one?

*bump* I really wonder if this was intentional...

Do you mean the rings?
I also noticed that there are a number of scenes where Jack is wearing a "taupe" colored hat vesrus his signature black hat. I'm unsure if there is a trend there .... can anyone enlighten me?
