Another clothing question......

Hi you all,

With all the coat and hat discussion, there is another thing that I have noticed, actually on my 2nd or third viewing and I haven't seen anything on it.

On BBM, I have noticed that there are two scenes in which Ennis is wearing a yellow rain jacket.  The first time is when he was gathering the cans and stuff and Jack said 'no more beans' and the second time is when they were down from the mountain and leaning against the fence watching the sheep and Aquirre said 'ranch hands are never any good'.  That was especially odd because he wasn't wearing it down the mountain and he wasn't wearing it at the truck.  Also the collar of the tan coat is visible under the raincoat.

Where did Ennis get the rain jacket from, it wasn't in the bag, and I don't think it came with the supplies, so could it have been Jacks?  It just is odd that he was wearing it in only those two scenes.  I am wondering if it was supposed to signifiy something but what. I have been wondering where he got it from.  (yeah I guess the costume person, but I don't want to think about them>)

Oh yeah,  also how did they get the little table to the campsite,  was it there already?

Just wondering.....

Hi there,

The scene at the camp was shot on a rainy day (looks like) so, most likely, it was just handed to Ennis by one of the crew so Ennis just held on to it. 

What I would like to know is how did the old GMC pick-up driven by Jack when he first barely made it to Aguirre trailer at the beginning of the movie end up with Ennis?  Remember the second meeting after 4 years!

Hi,

Is it the same truck or did E. just get one like J's truck?

You could be right, the rain coat might have been just handed to Heath cause it was raining, and they left it in those scenes,

And I was thinking (hoping) there was a deep significance to it.....

jpwagoneer1964:
The GMC trucks that Enns and Jack had are different. Jacks was a 1949 to 1952 in black and Ennis's was a 1955 to 1957 in mostly blue. Both except fot the engines and grilles, etc, were the same as corresponding Chevrolet truck but much less common.

That's me, laughing at myself because of all the times I've watched this film--I quit counting after the first time I watched the DVD--and it never registered on me that we see Ennis wearing that yellow slicker on the mountain. I only noticed it at the sheep pens after they brought 'em down.

I guess it must have been Jack's because it surely wasn't in that paper bag Ennis was carrying. As small as that bag was rolled up, I have to wonder if there was anything in it except his other shirt--and maybe a pair of socks. I mean, did that poor kid even own a second pair of jeans?  :-\
