So far no one has posted (maybe just hadn't yet taken the time to scan it!) the wonderful composite print Adam created to be enclosed with each harmonica given out at the BBQ . . . So here goes:(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e328/lilfritzinfl/HarmonicaDontSoundRightSM.jpg)Mine just happened to have 2 prints folded in, just like a double fortune cookie -- lucky me!!!
Say I have a couple of questions about that photo...First, do you think Ennis said either or neither? I recall it was Jack who said "me neither." (But I forget where). Also, why is Jack just chillin with his harmonica while Ennis is setting up the camp all on his own, hmmm???
The famous Jack "Me neither" is the response to Ennis's "You know I ain't queer."

(I feel the urge to use my moderator powers once in a while, just so I don't get rusty!)
They probably set up camp together, then Jack chilled with the harmonica. You can tell by the light it's early evening, about time for Ennis to head back up to the pup tent with the sheep. But he's hanging out & fussing with the tent, even though he's not supposed to be sleeping there.That makes sense because there is no fire...and Ennis's horseblanket and saddle are propped up ready to be used.
(He'd have denied he's queer with his last macho breath, but his unconscious is giving him away here. Yet another precursor to TS1—which people claim "came out of nowhere" LOL.)

In answer to your second question about why was Jack lying down playing the harmonica while Ennis was still fussing with the tent . . . Jack had apparently finished his share of camp setup (fire pit and cooking facility), water, food storage, while Ennis put up the tent, and it took him a while longer . . . just a thought!
Thanks for pointing this out, Chrissi! Isn't it interesting that the coffeepot and cup are right on top of Jack's head! And those two big gray things, are those for water?? Interesting that there are two of them together. The coffeepot always looks the same (as Ennis always remains the same, and always stays in Wyo), but the bucket often looks different--canvas, cooking pot, trash can, paper bag, etc. And there are often two of them!!
I imagine the set decorators had a lot of fun on this movie! What I would have given to be one of them or just talk to them sometime!!
But the thing I wanted to say about this picture is that I think it's another great tester of whether you are primarily a Heathen or a Gyllenhaalic. I had seen the movie quite a few times before I noticed that dazzling smile on Jake's face. I was too busy watching Heath's every movement.

You could be on to something there, Clarissa. I noticed Jake's smile right from the get-go.
Jeff, you are a sucker for guys with great smiles!
You bet! :D
Yes, Jack's (Jake's) dazzling smile and his chuckle at Ennis' teasing him about the harmonica!
GO JEFF! and bravo!!!
Yes, Chrissi, this shot enclosed with each harmonica was a composite shot that Adam created. The scene as printed does not exist in the film, only for gift of the harmonicas at the BBQ.
I believe this is the actual scene:

That was pretty devastating for me, learning that movie stills I love to look at had been doctored. I also went back and looked at pics of the family plot and realized that there were way more plastic flowers in the picture than really were there!! I'm just gonna look at my own pictures from now on!!
this was a fun read. I+ve always wondered about those containers too.
And Chrissie - I didn´t even see that something was wrong with the picture.
Maybe that smile distracted me
