The new autumn colors of the Bettermost Board reminded me of something I've bean meaning to bring up here. In the movie, there is a beautiful shot of two clouds taken on the first evening there on the mountain. There is a deep blue, almost black cloud on the right, and on the left is a cloud that is all enflamed in orange glow reflected from the sun. The interplay of Ennis and Jack seems to be playing out in the sky.
Another example is one of the first scenes when the Farm Employment trailer is shown for the first time. There are two stratus clouds that stream from left to right, coming together over the trailer. To me, the clouds seem to embody the destinies of the two young men which are about to coincide. Other important cloud sightings??
