Favorite Jack Twist Line

--- Quote from: ednbarby on April 08, 2006, 04:32:44 pm ---I'm the sole "No more beans" voter. Of all his lines, and I love pretty much all of 'em, this one defines him the most to me. I think the beans are actually symbolic. They are a symbol of the status quo, which is acceptable to Ennis but not to Jack. Just that whole sequence - "I thought you didn't eat soup." "Yeah, well, I'm sicka beans." "Too early in the summer to be sick of beans." Beans being pretending to be straight when you're not. Love it. Love the line. Love that whole sequence. Love Jack. Love Ennis. But mostly love Jack.

Hey Barb, I'm not entirely sure why, but this makes absolute sense to me. I've read a lot of threads about symbolism, camera moves and kitchen scales, and I superficially get these without any real resonance. After all, many kitchens contain scales. But the beans meaning "straight", whether this was purposely inserted in the movie or not, really works for me. Thank you Barb, that collection of seemingly unrelated scenes with beans, now means a whole lot more for me.
twistedude:
I love ALL of them, but "It's nobody's business but ours" was the one that got me hooked, when I saw it in the preview.
Next, probably the long speech, ending with "you'll kill me for needing something I don't hardly never get," on the last morning.
I..can't choose!

I can't pick because I love all of 1 through 10 (11 and 12 are too painful).
iheartBBM:
Wow... it is SOOO hard to pick! I ended up choosing "What if you and me had a little ranch together somewhere, little cow-and-calf operation, it'd be some sweet life." But really I love them all.
I like it when Ennis says "I thought that mare couldn't throw you" and Jack replies "Well... she got lucky" lol I dont know why, I just think it's really cute.
korgriff:
shakes the ground, That is one of my favorites too.
Isabelle, I'm with you. S'alright catches me everytime!! It got my vote.
Another good one is in the beginning when they introduce themselves and Jack says " did your folks just stop at Ennis?"
