The "I LOVE everything Ennis" thread
Lumière:
Everything I love about Ennis has been said. :)
I just love that with Ennis, "what you see is what you get" - Jack knew Ennis' deeply private and introverted personality right from that summer of 63, he knew that Ennis was in deep denial about his sexuality .. he knew all those things, yet he couldn't help but love Ennis and continue to do so for 20 years! There is an honesty and directness to Ennis that I love, despite his many flaws.
YaadPyar:
I love the way Ennis convinces Alma to take the girls (in the grocery store, while the heifers are calving) through the silent communication of his eyes. He speaks volumes with that look.
Brown Eyes:
I love Ennis for his crazy taste in pajama bottoms. For a reserved, quiet guy he really lets loose with sleep wear.

I have asked this a couple of times before, and I have never gotten any kind of an answer, but why do you think the knees of his jeans are so dirty, hunh??
Actually I am looking for a definitive answer...

Well... since you asked, I guess I will give a definitive answer... I think they're dirty because they just finished having sex outside and his jeans got dirty from, well, having sex outside. The same is true of Jack's jeans in the flashback scene. By the way, I was not the first person to notice or comment upon these little details, but I do find them great little touches. This, I think is Lee's way of hinting at Proulx's line "They never talked about the sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow..."
OK, I'm getting back on topic...
I love Ennis for wiping his mouth as he enters the apartment to introduce Jack to Alma following the reunion kiss.
