By the way, everyone's favorite flashback picture--with Jack's head turneed away, down, and smiling a little, and Ennis doing his best to look into Jack's face--whatever AP says...is either the very first moment of the flashback closeup--or isn't in the movie at all---which is it? I'd post it again, but it's been posted already.
Also by the way: I don't think the movie follows AP's directuions about the flashback AT ALL: I think Ennis is very aware of whom he ios holding, and wouoldn't have it any other way...
