Am I Nuts???

(1/9) > >>

Sheyne:
I was just rewatching the You Tube "4 nights in 20 years" thing...  Just for something different of course..  ;D

Am I crazy, or in that final sleeping hug in the tent before the lake scene fight.... I know Ennis has his arm over Jack, but it really looks to me as though Jack is also hugging Ennis???  I put a screen cap down the bottom..  It just looks to me as though his left arm is reaching back underneath Ennis's to hug him back..  Sorry if this has been said already or debated.. But just wondering if one of you guys with the Open Matte version with more screen could confirm or deny this supposition???  Thanks..
  ;D

Daniel:
I don't think it's easy to tell. Jack's left hand is clearly visible, but his right arm is in the sleeping bag. I think what you are seeing is the sleeping bag, but it could be just me.

ednbarby:
I think it's possible that he could be from the angle of his shoulder, there.

This is such a beautiful shot.  It's not easy to sleep spooned like that.  My husband and I used to try in our early in-love days.  Never lasted more than a minute - it was too uncomfortable.  We still don't *sleep* well together.  I think being able to sleep so comfortably and close with someone else like that is so intimate - it's the very essence of intimacy, along with cooking and eating together, which we never see Jack or Ennis do with their wives but that they do like second nature with each other.

Sheyne:

I'm hoping one of those guys with multiple copies in different formats can have a look for me..  Those screen caps from the open matte format are massive and I'm hoping it will reveal it for me.

Its not like I'm gonna die or anything but it would give a very sweet new dimension to the scene, especially as its their last night together.  Ever.

isabelle:
Sheyne - I cannot answer your question - don't have the dvd yet, and the film's not showing anymore here - but one thing I had not noticed is the frown on Ennis's face/forehead.

And ednbarby, I agree that eating together is a very intimate act.
