Second meeting after 4 years.
squashcourt:
The scene where Heath very roughly removes Jake's hand from his neck (almost in disgust). Ang Lee, in my opinion, should have redone this shot by having the hand removed with tenderness. After 4 years of emptiness this should not have happened. A flaw in the movie.
Can someone convince me otherwise?
It contradicts the melting of Ennis in Jack's arms in the second tent scene.

I didn't see that as rough, I just saw it as Ennis needing to get back to reality and helping Jack get there too, because he realised very strongly at that moment that they were out in the open and that Ennis had to introduce Jack to Alma before they could continue somewhere more private.
And...... if it was rough, he made up for it with the so incredibly romantic and sweet nuzzle and the hand to Jack's cheek just before he goes up the stairs. :-*
squashcourt:
You are right regarding the impeccable and romantic nuzzle and the hand to Jack's cheek. No doubt about that.
Notice that I used "Heath" and not Ennis. Perhaps this roughness may have had something to do with it.
Please understand me, I am not tearing the scene apart. The whole movie is a personal experience and it's gut-wrenching whenever I build up the courage to view it.

Friend, we all--or most of us--have been there. We understand.
I'm hoping/planning to make time to watch again this weekend. I can't say as I ever really noticed the gesture you're asking about, but I'll look for it the next time I watch.

Maybe at that moment, Ennis thought, "if I dont stop this now, me and Jack are gonna fall to the ground, and end up making love out here in the street"
