Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie
Katie77:
I remember asking about the dog food one other time......and someone mentioned that it may have been food for the dogs, that Jack put in the sack that he strung up when they set up camp.....
Katie77:
And about the white teeth.......I noticed how nice the teeth were on those ruffiens who Ennis argued with at the fireworks.......they just didn't look the type that would have such nice teeth.

1) TS1 - "the mysterious laces" that tie and untie themselves
a - when Jack is trying to sleep alone, the laces are shown to be tied
b - Jack unties the laces when he yells at Ennis to get inside the tent
c- Ennis comes into the tent, covers up and lies back down, he is not shown retying the laces or for that matter having the time to do so
d- But, when the boys start their nookies, the laces are shown as tied again
e- when Ennis wakes up the flaps are again untied

16) the interior of OMT's home has been discussed earlier, and I echo the sentiments of those who also feel that is unrealistic. Mother Twist would have decorated that house with every little religious Jesus object and plaque she could find space for. Mother Twist would have had some plants and a colorful decorative table cloth as well, she had to show here individuality in the face of the tyrant OMT in some way. The white, white everywhere color scheme would drive anyone snow blind by itself. Jack's room is touching but unrealistic, unless mother Twist deliberately redecorated it to resemble the room as Jack would have had in while he was a preteen.

I don't understand this at all. I am familiar with three sects of Protestantism, and all of them have in common an aversion to 'Jesus objects.' My mother's family used to deride the Catholics who moved into our neighborhood for their 'idolatry', and images of Jesus and Mary, because it was against their sect's precepts to wear crosses or to have images of Jesus or Mary, even on and in their churches. The religious objects in the Twist home are what I have seen in the PRotestant homes among which I grew up: a simple biblical homily on the wall such as 'Bless this house' and a simple unadored cross. That is what my grandparents had in their house, or a Desiderata, and one simple cross.
And, having had family who were old style settlers, their farmhouses were as unadorned and stark as the one pictured in the Twist household. I don't know how you can chalk up to 'production mistakes' items that to me, belonging to a long line of Protestant believers, seems to match pretty exactly.
A 'mistake' is something like Jack straightening up from a shot where he places a piece of wood, and in the next shot, the piece of wood he has not touched has magically vanished, which I noticed today... or the hood of the truck being ajar in the first shot and being firmly closed in the next shot with no one closing it.
