Scene shirtless Ennis and Jack -

(1/4) > >>

squashcourt:
Did Ang Lee use stunts in that scene (the one after the second tent scene which I believe was impeccable.  It was not a performance but an absorbing conviction between Ennis and Jack of how they felt for one another - unspoken love, passion and protection for each other).

I'm pretty sure that we see Heath and Jake there--no doubles used for that scene. Now, in the skinny-dipping scene, a stand-in was used for Jack's character, but it is Heath that we see beside him. I have read that Jake didn't want to do the scene because he was scared of the height from which he was being asked to jump (I can sympathize!).

squashcourt:
Thanks Scott for the clarification. 
A bit disappointed with Jake - didn't seem that high to me. 

I guess he'll never be casted as Mark Spitz. 

You know ...... these days I am not able to associate Heath and Jake other than Ennis and Jack.  Hmmm !

It was so much that Jake was afraid of heights, but he had just landed 'Jarhead' and the river was only ten feet deep he did want to risk a broken leg. I read this in an interview.

Ed59:
       I agree with Scott-- I dont think stunt doubles were used in that scene.

       For me that was one of the best "feel good" scenes in the movie.
