Had never noticed before
Shakesthecoffecan:
I was watching the movie the other night, and in all this time I had never noticed this: In the first tent sceen, when they are "going at it", Jack reaches around and grabbs Ennis's hand and holds it. Then we see the tent in the moon light, it sort of gives the coupling a bit of a different meaning, a bit of tenderness amids so much urgency.

And of course it stars with a lot of face touching and nuzzling.

Oh, yes--the famous hand-holding. I first saw this detail on my DVD copy, and then only when specifically watching for it due to a friend's statement that she had seen it for herself.
Yes, it does add another dimension to the proceedings, coupled with (pun intended! ;D), as Mark has noted, the face-grabbing and caressing at the beginning of the scene. These two were falling in love at least as early as this moment.

I can believe you haven't noticed this in the movie before. It's easy to miss and I wouldn't have noticed it, if not other BetterMostians would have pointed it out.
But it's hard to believe you never noticed the discussions on this board about it :o ;)
Here's a thread about it:

Uhm, well, I just see that the last post on said thread is fom May, so it's quite a time ago.
You are right about the added tenderness. Their relationship is so far more than the sexual aspect. We all know it begins as a friendship. And their sexual relationship is more than just being lustful and seeking satisfaction/relief from the beginning on. Lustfulness may be the driving force at their first coupling (and neither our boys nor we mind it ::)), but it's more than that.
Off-topic sidenote:
This is my 500th post. Yay! I did half the way to the BetterMost 1000+ club :)

Yeah, I saw that the first time I saw the movie, and didn't think twice about it. To me it was simply a very natural and normal thing for any two people in "the grip" of lovemaking... pun intended... LOL
:D
