Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie
Artiste:
Thanks Fran!
I remember your quote now:
--- Quote --- Don't never order soup. Them boxes a soup are real bad to pack."
--- End quote ---
........
So this is a mystery that we have NOT solved yet? Like you and other say, like brokeplex too:
--- Quote --- Ranger I think that Aguirre's employee is warning Ennis about the size of the bulk of the soup boxes, I am assuming that the soup would be dehydrated soup packaged into boxes. There could be deeper meaning to the word "soup", I know I have heard certain bodily excretions referred to as "soup". and the word "packing" can also mean something within a sexual context as well. any thoughts?

........
Wow, wow?? I heard something about soup too... when I used to work as pastry chef with men drilling for oil... but I can NOT remember!
So the mystery continues for now... and who will solve it?? Any more clues??
hugs!!

Ranger , I didn't mean to shock you, but if we are to feel free to look at the film as having symbolic meanings in the images and words, then the "packing them soup boxes" can take on a very different meaning.
another little flow of my consciousness, I always thought that when Jack was on the mountain the year before that he was not always on the mountain alone, that maybe he had the company of the man who delivered Ennis's and Jack's groceries at the bridge. maybe then his words to Ennis were a bit of a warning or perhaps he was letting him know "how it goes" up on the mountain when you are lonely. just a thought.

Wow, brokeplex, you sure made me smile:

Does Jack ever mention OTHER were there the year BEFORE??
................
Coming back to soup, would that NOT be so liquid as to give THEM Ennis and Jack trouble(s), go to the washroom more quickly??
Hugs!

he mentions that he looked after Aguirre's sheep the year before and Aguirre expresses his disappointment in his losses that year. does he mention a companion, no not to my knowledge.
there is no washroom in the tent to wash up afterwards, you just have to grin and bear it, so to speak. ;D

okay...not sure if this has already been posted, but here's one i noticed.
when they shot the moose/elk, they used a .30-30, which is unlikely to kill an elk in one shot. a .30-30 was suitable for cyotees, which was it's purpose for the boys to carry, but elks are huge and have thick hydes, so, i highly doubt this calliber would've done the job.......especially with just one round. also, when they shot the elk, the back-end of the elk dropped, which wouldnt've happened, as you shoot for the neck or heart...not the rear legs, or anything behind the shoulder. if they had shot the elk back there, a lot of meat would've been ruined, and it would've been a huge mess to carve out....and, you certainly wouldn't take a chance in rupturing any of the G.I. tract, which would've spoiled all of the meat.
if they wanted to make it more believable, they should've had the elk's front-end go down first. in fact, i wonder how they did that scene, and got the elk to sway in the first place. i guess a tranquillizer huh?
