Merci optom!

Like you say, that could be so: not attraction! But that could be too in order to avoid the lost of money the movie would NOT make if these two named-already-as-straight actors would japodize it!

Could that be so?

Au revoir, hugs!

The scene where Ennis says that the most he'd spoken in a year and so;they're communicating, getting to know eachother.

You can pose it, but I don't think it happened.If you look at their body language when they are interviewed together, they tend to cross their arms, or angle away from each other, or move legs away.The complete opposite of where a real attraction exists, where body language mirrors that of the person you are attracted to, or you move towards the object of your affection, sometimes even without knowing.

Au contraire, I think that kind of body language speaks of a great deal of attraction...if you want an example of this in the movie, just look at the first scene where Ennis lowers his head and hides behind his cowboy hat; where not a damn word is spoken!! Another example was made famous in The Virginian where the title character meets the schoolmarm/love interest. They ignored and avoided each other the whole evening of the dance. My pet name for this behavior is The Wyoming Greeting, LOL!

Front-Ranger, I love that scene that you quote:

... I think that kind of body language speaks of a great deal of attraction...if you want an example of this in the movie, just look at the first scene where Ennis lowers his head and hides behind his cowboy hat;             
.......

Front-Ranger and others:
And there must be such others in this BM movie?

Au revoir,
hugs!

Merci, thanks Gabreya !

May I ask if non-speaking is also a way to communicate between the two ?

Au revoir,
hugs!

I meant away from the movie, I did not see any attraction for each other outside the paramaters of the film'I saw evidence of friendshipand camaraderie, but that was all. In the movie as actors there were lots of signs of attraction, from an early satge.Maybe Iamconfusing the issue.

I agree, outside the film, I saw only evidence of professional respect and comaraderie. But, as professional actors, both Gyllenhaal and Ledger carried off on-screen the mutual attraction that the Ennis and Jack characters felt for each other.
