This is really weird!

Sorry in advance if someone else pointed this out already but if so, I completely missed it.

I just finished watching the DVD -- and, by the way, it really, really irks me how the lighting in such scenes as the first tent scene is completely altered. I am really pissed about that and what sucks is that there's nothing I can do about it. I liked the way it looked in the theatre, goddamnit!

Anyway, sorry 'bout that but that has been pissing me off for the past 2 hrs. Now, think back to the scene where Ennis and Alma get into a fight in Monroe's kitchen at Thanksgiving. After Ennis storms out, he drives to a local bar -- in another gloriously 'modified-for-your-screen,' lightened scene -- and gets in a fight.

I noticed something that just shocked the hell out of me. Watch as Ennis stops the car but you have to look before he opens his door: there, on the windshield, front and center and at the bottom, appears to be the word "FAG" as though someone (Alma, perhaps?) wiped it on the windshield with their hands. I am not saying this was intentional on the filmmakers' behalves; the only reason it would appear as such is if they were trying to make us feel even worse, if that's possible, for Ennis at that scene.

I was wondering if I'm seeing things -- which is likely -- or if you guys notice it as well.

RouxB:
Well, I don't want to tell you you're seeing things because I've been accused of hearing things  ::) so I'll just say I didn't see it. I see the path of the wiper blades but don't fag-though I do see what you mean.

Was that diplomatic enough? :D

(I can't quite determine how to word this.)

I think what it is, is that the path of the wiper-blades almost looks like the word. I don't really know how else to explain what I saw. I am gonna check for it again later.

PatSinnott:
I just looked at the scene, yes I have it on my computer at work, and I didn't see anyting.  I can't turn up the brightness or zoom in, as it's an .avi file so no changing the playback.  I didn't see anything there though....

I had that trouble too with the tent scene on DVD, it was so dark I could hardly see a thing, but I could increase the brightness on mine and see the scene clearly.    About the word FAG on Ennis's truck, I didn't notice that in any of the 6 times I saw that movie, but will look again the next time I see the movie.
