Whoooooo, Roland! I could sit here gazing at those all day. How can he look so different from one scene to the next, yet always look so good?!

I don't have any pictures to share (apart from attempts to describe them in words), but looking through all these images just makes my heart melt. It's like falling in love with our boys all over again. And what absolutely STUPENDOUS performances, hunh? Those frame enlargements just magnify the subtlety and nuance of these two amazing actors' talents. BBM...the single greatest love story ever committed to the screen.

Roland, thanks for posting these links  :-* . The pics are awesome, esp. the Ennis/Heath pics (could sit here and watch them all night). But the Jack/Jake pics are great, too. There were some Jack pics I never saw before.

I agree.  Their faces are so expressive, they can look almost like someone completely different from one scene to the next.  I'm always struck at how stark Ennis' face looks as he's packing up the horse and readying his rifle the morning after the first tent scene.  It's heartbreaking - almost as muchso as Jack's face is as he rides away.  Amazing.  Every frame.
No more beans!

So, I've decided that all these nice "out-take"-type stills and clips from trailers that didn't make it into the movie, etc. all go a long way to making Jack and Ennis seem like real people.  It makes it seem like they really were busy out there somewhere carrying on, doing other things that we weren't allowed to see by the filmmakers.  Now it makes even more sense why Ang Lee thanked Jack and Ennis when he accepted his Oscar.

Me too. He looks so different than he does in, say, the scene where he's drinking in the bar with Jack. Or when he gets the postcard. Or in the "prayer of thanks" scene. No wonder he looks different in "real life" -- he looks different from one moment to the next in movie life, too.

Hmmm ... Amanda, I think you're onto something. Maybe it's Heath and Jake who are the fictional characters, and ...!!
