The "I LOVE everything Ennis" thread
Ellemeno:
I love how Ennis sits looking down, before he goes into the tent to embrace his destiny.
Sheriff Roland:
Maybe it's been said before, but it deserves being repeated if it had been said
I LOVE Ennis' vulnerability at the beginning of the movie. In the bar scene, he's so fragile, sucking slowly on his beer (can't afford many more - compared to Jack), taking out his half used cigarette (gotta pace his cigs usage - they cost money too - even rollies), borrowing the lighter, and answering in such weighed words - never one word too many.
Starboardlight, on another thread brought out the resemblance of this scene to the other bar scene where Alma Jr. is just as insecure, and weighs every one of her few words to express herself "You're good enough, I guess..." (at practically the same age as her daddy was at the beginning of the movie!)
Rayn:
I love the way Ennis says, "Huh?"... and I love his subtle humor and, in spite of his troubled mind and heavy heart, I love everything else about him. God bless all lonesome true hearts in boots and jeans, I love him almost as much as Jack did! I hope he finds someone similar to Jack and has a somewhat happy ending.

Brown Eyes:
I love Ennis's distinctly dirty knees in the Happy Tussle scene.
;)
And, I love how he seems to have adopted the "knock the cowboy hat off" move as a part of his foreplay ritual already by that scene.

He's quiet, so he doesn't rouse the attention of John Twist and the moment is between he and Mrs. Twist (does she have a first name?) His eyes are red-rimmed and she knows both that he's the reason behind those two shirts and that he has been crying and will continue to do so. :'(

Yeah that is a powerful scene. WHY does it all have to end in heartache? Can,t we have a happy ending just for once? I think after 20 years they deserved it. :'( :'( :'(
