Saw the Hand Holdin'.
serious crayons:
Looks like "who grabs whose hand" may wind up joining "sorry/s'alright" in the Unsolved Mysteries file. For the record, my vote is with Ennis grabbing Jack's hand, partly because that seems more romantic to me and partly because that's just what it looks like to me. As for Sheyne's view from her post a month ago that it's not Jack's hand he's grabbing, well, I haven't seen anything to indicate that but, believe me, I will keep a sharp eye out next time I watch.
Regarding the deepened intimacy, starboardlight recenly started a whole nother thread, still active I think, discussing this same subject. And the clear slick question? Well, I'm no expert, so maybe JAD or someone else can fill me in, but couldn't the time from when they both jolted up in the tent and Ennis realized Jack's intentions and responded to them, couldn't that have been enough time for that, uh, process to work?

Yup, that's what I was thinking Katherine, especially if we consider that they were "warming up" to each other all night. Is it me, or is it getting a little hot in here? ;)
Oh and by the way, I'll be sure to check out starboardlight's other thread, ta!

No, not just you, Chris, it definitely IS getting hot in here.
Brown Eyes:
Tell you what... I think they grab each other's hand. It's a mutual/ reciprocal action. At the very least... if Ennis isn't reaching for Jack's hand specifically, then he goes so far as to put his hand in a position where it's available to be grabbed. And, towards the beginning of the *action* Jack is reaching back already with his right hand (the hand closest to the viewer). Is he already reaching to hold Ennis's hand?

well, there's no evidence in the film or the story for or against what I'm about to suggest, but it could have worked. While Ennis is lying there, perhaps in semi-sleep semi-conscious state, his side is touching Jack's. He would have been already aroused, and just lying there with an erection but not knowing what to do about it. I don't know about you, but when I suddenly find myself lying side by side with someone I've been eyeing for weeks, sleep doesn't come so easily. I imagine that they were both at least half-awake, if not fully awake at that point. And especially if you're half-awake, the body chemistry just does it's thing without inhibition. I think that even before Jack grabbed his hands, Ennis was already producing "clear slick".
