Mmmmmm... That one definitely sealed the deal for me. And I totally feel you on it. I especially love that stabbed in the heart look he gives Ennis after he pushes him and right before he makes that speech. But the first time (and last time, and all the times in between) I fell in love with Jake Gyllenhaal was with that blue-eyed stare of his at Ennis sitting alone on the hill. That's when the boy became a man in my mind. :)
henrypie:
Mmmm, boy becomes man.
Hmmm, Barb, I can see how his look up the hill at Ennis did that for you; I'd say, maybe, that Jack became a man at that moment, but JAKE became a man (or showed what a hell of a man he was) at the lake.
Man!
Becky:
Completely agree, well I loved Jake before the film but that scene sealed the deal! I mean just look at my picture thing.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
But I am right, no one can resist the Twist! :P

LOL! Well, I can give you that - to me, Jake became a man in that first scene, and showed what a hell of a man he was at the lake. But for my money, Jack was always a man, even when he was still just a boy. Wise well beyond his years and loving well beyond his time.
henrypie:
Aaaaahhh!
All this man-talk. I love it. I would like to say that one of the delicious things about this movie is the way it ignites my man-love. I mean, I'm a straight woman, and I have man-love all the time. What I mean is, I love men all the time. Sadly, perhaps, I'll never know the joy of undiluted man-love because one-half of me and a man will always be a woman. But I came to terms with that a long time ago and enjoy being a woman and all. But God, I really love men.
p.s. my husband's been out of the country now for eight days. I'm holding on by my bitten nails.
