Thank You Ethan
Got more info on the link you gave.
I'am new to this site - just got registered yesterday. Wow it is really great to be here to talk to people who feel the same about the movie.
BBM has swooped me off. I have sincerly fallen in love with this movie.
This is why I"m sure that Ennis slurs out "I'm sorry", Sorry for the way he treated Jack earlier, sorry for the "rough" treatment in FNIT?, sorry for leaving Jack in limbo about how he felt in reality. My opinion. Jack says S'all right then.
i think i heard 'it's alright' too....jack was trying to tell ennis that its okay to love him...i guess
What a great artist Ang Lee is! We all hear what we want to hear, what we think will make this scene the powerful and moving and critical scene that it is. It's the "sweet nothings" of love making which are different for everyone and can change within ourselves with each viewing depending on how we feel right then. It takes incredible discipline to know how much is enough and how much is too much to strike this perfect cinematic balance. This is what will make this movie so meaningful for years and decades to come, the infinite variety of interpretations it allows all along the way.

Yes, that's what I thought to start with....but it could equally be Jack just picking up on Ennis's nerves/fear/whatever and trying to calm him by saying "It's alright" repeatedly. It's alright to kiss me....it's alright to touch me....it's alright to do whatever you want because it's just us and no-one else has to know.
But that's just my opinion and it really could be either.
I hear Jack saying "Can I kiss you?" before he does, but no-one else has ever mentioned this - nevertheless, I hear it.

OMG! I remember thinking that Jack said "wanna kiss you" there, but it was one of those where sometimes I'd hear it and sometimes I didn't, then I saw the discussions about the whole "I'm sorry"/"It's alright" thing and no-one ever mentioned anything else, so I thought it was just Jack's loud breathing and I was imagining it, like when people say they can hear hidden messages when you play a record backwards. Looks like this is just the excuse I need to watch that scene again ;) <^(
Hmmm I never heard wanna kiss you but being the devoted Brokie I am, I'll just have to research that repeatedly until I hear it. O0
BBM Fan- I've seen that vid- it's beautiful. :) I think there's a link to it in the collection of videos.
I just watched it 4 times and didn't hear it :- :X I had the volume all the way up and the speaker up to my ear. I'll try it later with the headphones. It's such a hardship ::) ;)
I hear: Ennis: I'm sorry. Jack: It's allright, it's allright.. Come here.
Also - to confuse us more, what is said during the reunion kisses?
I blasted my TV, and put on my head phones, and Jack says everything. I listened to it with both Closed Caption on my TV, and Subtitles on my DVD, and here is what Jack says.
I'm Sorry.
It's All Right.
It's All Right.
Lie Back. Come On.
I take the "I'm Sorry." being about the kiss since Ennis was pulling away and turning his head slightly, but Jack kissed him, then he said "It's All Right. It's All Right." after and shook his head when he knew Ennis was all right with it. Then as he pulls Ennis onto his chest and lays back down he says, "Lie Back. Come On."
here is what Jack says.I believe you've hit it exactly right DelMarTwist. Both in WHAT was said and WHY it was said. Those darn subtitle folks have confused it greatly with their visual placement of the words making it look like Ennis says "I'm sorry". I think you're right, Jack says it, and is sorry for being a little too forward with what is actually their FIRST kiss. I'm not sure Ennis was really prepared for a man-to-man kiss, but he came around pretty quick.
I'm Sorry.

We don't find out until much later about the horrible thing his father had shown him but knowing that it makes Ennis going to Jack even more powerful.You Bet.
Jeez, I think I'm going to have to go and watch the SNIT again with my headphones on to see if I can hear the "lie back" from Jack...never heard it before but I'm not above watching again (and again and again and again) to try to hear it. The things I'll do in the name of research... ::) :)
Yes, we need more research. I still don't hear "lie back". Not sure why Jack would say that because Ennis isn't really lying back - Jack is. Could it be "lie down"? Anyway, I can barely make out the "come on". We all need to re-watch this scene with our headphones and re-group. Now if they had had the lights up and had enunciated, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Ang Lee is a genius. He's driving us all crazy. Agreed?

Could he have said "lie back" the moment he flipped positions with Ennis so that he was on top? I speculate because I myself had not heard this said, but I was not listening to carefully. The music always washes over me.
But there are lots of little deviations in the dialogue - I reckon there was a printed script which was changed as they shot the movie, some of the improvised lines being included and some not. It makes sense that the ones where they're alone may include such lines - the was su[posedly only a cameraman in the tent with tehm, eg, and Ang looking at what was shot afterwards and during the editing process - but his first priority wouldn't be to correct the text that was going to be issued, would it?
If you've read anything about the transmission of Shakespeare's text, then nothing that happens in the way of distortions surprises you.
I've just listened to it with headphones and I heard Jack say c'mere just before he kisses Ennis. Pretty sure it's then sorry...it's alright...it's alright and then another c'mere or maybe come on just before they lie back down. Don't hear lie back/down though....and I did watch half a dozen times, with the volume very loud :s)

That's pretty much what I heard- I used the headphones tonight and watched it a few times- Once I even closed my eyes to just listen and I can't hear kiss me or lie back. And yes NR they should have let one of us have a go at interviewing them ;)
I had read somewhere that Jake said Ang was pretty specific about most of his direction, but when it came to the love scenes, he let them have a little free rein. I guess so. Now if it's for the good of the group/forum, I would be happy to sacrifice and attempt to contact Jake to re-enact the scene. I do live relatively near him. >:D ;)
I think Jake had mixed feeling about certain things regarding Ang's direction, but overall he appreciated the sensitivity of Ang's style. And as you implied, the SNIT certainly must have been one of the scenes where improvisation became necessary for want of more specific direction.
Take advantage of the close proximity. I assume you will be involved in the re-enactment? ;)
Del Mar Twist - I agree with you now about Jack saying everything in the SNIT, But - Now more new information, at least for me. This is the first i heard "lie back - come on", but i like it & have listened several more times - i can't quite make it out, but think you're right. I, too, use headphones, but sometimes it's easier for me to hear if i just close my eyes and concentrate on them rather than the picture.
In the reunion scene - when Ennis started pushing Jack against the wall, it sounds like he said something. Did you hear that? And when he was pulling Jack off him just before he went upstairs, did you here Ennis say, "later"? A couple people mentioned that, but i can't quite catch it. I thought my hearing was good in my "old age", but this is driving me crazy. I appreciate your responses.
Have a good holiday.

What do you think Ennis thought was going to happen when he went to the tent after sitting by the fire and contemplating the situation? Do you think he thought maybe they would just talk about the FNIT or do you think he expected action? I've always felt this move by Ennis, getting up from the camp fire going to the tent, was the pivitol point in the film. If that hadn't happened, it would have been literally "A one shot thing", the rest of they story (as we know it) would not have evolved.
jackster
I can turn down the background music, and my headphones are studio quality, so I hear the dialogue pretty well.
The Reunion Scene goes like this....
Ennis stands at the top of the stairs and says, "Jack F**ckin' Twist." Runs, and jumps down a few steps to get to Jack.
Jack and Ennis hug, and Jack says, "Son Of A Bitch."
Ennis grabs Jack moves him back as he says, "Come Here." The two kiss.
Once they stop, and give each other the wanting gazes and Eskimo kisses, Ennis lightly slaps the left side of Jack's face and whispers, "Hey."
:t)
I don't think Ennis came around quickly at all. Remember Ennis never initiated a kiss until the Reunion Scene.
Well I think when Ennis said, "This is a one-shot thing we got goin on here." he meant that the rest of the time they were up on Brokeback Mountain they can have sex, but once they come down, that's it.
Then you have Jack saying, "It's nobody's business but ours." Which is Jack's way of assuring Ennis that no one will know, and it's like saying, "What happens in Mexico/Vegas, stays in Mexico/Vegas."
When Ennis was sitting outside of the tent that night he was nervous. This time he had to make the first move, there wasn't anymore getting drunk and waiting for Jack to grab his hand. If Ennis wanted anything to happen Jack made sure that Ennis would have to make the first move this time, that's why Jack was laying in the tent without his shirt on, so when Ennis walked in he knew what was going to happen, and knew he made the first move this time.
Plus you have to keep in mind, that until that first night in the tent, Ennis was a virgin. He never had sex at all, so that night he gave Jack his virginity.
Del Mar: Why do you think he was a virgin? I thought he was too, until I saw the FNIT scene.
It seemed in the FNIT he knew exactly what to do (once he got into it). Now you're going to say that he'd learned that from watching movies, but to me, it all came too spontaneously for it to be his first time. Watcha think?
Before the first night in the tent, they were drinking and Jack was singing 'Water-Walking Jesus', and they got to talking about the Pentecost, and Jack said "Fellas like you and me, we march off to hell." Ennis replied with, "Speak for yourself. You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity." To which Jack said "Hmm." and handed Ennis back the whiskey.
Ennis didn't have sex before marriage, so he wasn't a sinner. Not that he wouldn't of had it, like he said he just never had the opportunity to. Jack's "Hmm.", and him handing Ennis the whiskey is fortelling of what happens latter that night.
It's a natural instinct. Animals aren't trained to have sex, they just know how to, and humans are the same way, we instinctively know what to do. Insert peg A into slot B. Annie Proulx said it in the short story, "Nothing he'd done before but no instruction manual needed." Plus he did grow up on ranches, so I'm sure he's saw a few animals going at it, and his brother, or his father could have told him about sex.
Yep, when your raised on a farm, you quickly find out what goes where, but since they're definitely not farm animals, we won't go there. And who the hell brings instruction manuals to bed? Jack painted the picture very nicely for him by going down on all fours and saying "common", He gave the "greenlight" and Ennis simply "crossed the street". ;) ;D :c)
The throwdown? It was just a natural turn of events I beleive.(no pun intended). By the time Jack went down I believe Ennis was already up dear. <^( ;) :c) :^^)There was no doubt what Jack wanted from him.
I don't think Ennis came around quickly at all. Remember Ennis never initiated a kiss until the Reunion Scene.What about the "morning after scene" (which may or may not be the morning after SNIT) when Aguirre spies them rolling on the ground? I've always felt that Ennis looked pretty certain as to what he wanted by that time even though he tries to hide it behind his hat. I've generally intrepreted the line "Ennis ran full throttle on all roads . . . ." to indicate that once things got going Ennis was pretty much an action figure and would want make things (either kissing or more serious stuff ;)) happen.

jackster
Yeah, but of course in the SS it goes...
As it did go. They never talked about the sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow, quick, rough, laughing and
snorting, no lack of noises, but saying not a goddam word except once Ennis said, "I'm not no queer," and Jack jumped in with "Me neither. A one shot thing. Nobody's business but ours."
So things are a little "twisted" with the two storylines here. I guess I'd always seen Ennis's contemplation by the fire as a "do I or don't I?" type of self questioning. He could think the FNIT was just two drunk boys having fun, but his action (or inaction) here would be deliberate and in his mind self-determining. But you may be changing my view of this from a "do I" to a "how do I?" type of contemplation.
jackster
The short story also contradicts itself by saying in the begining that Ennis' parents drove off, then later it says his farm folded when his parents died.A bit OT but I've understood the SS progression here as: 1. They drove off the curve, 2. they died, 3. the ranch folded (eventually) after K.E. and his sister couldn't make a go of it.
I see that as a major turning point for Ennis, he didn't walk into that tent that night Jack probably would have left him alone. Just by him staying at the camp that late Ennis made the choice to sleep here, but he still wasn't sure how to do it. By walking in there Ennis was speaking without words.Completely agree here. However, IMHO if Ennis is "running full throttle" I think once he's made this major decision (to go into Jack's tent and spend the night), from then on he's the one initiating the kissing and primarily running the show. I think this is one of the reasons he's so PO'd at having to leave early, and Jack's reaction to it, he's losing control of the situation and doesn't know what to do. Punching Jack is Ennis again "speaking without words" wishing he could kill his own love for Jack (doesn't work, as he finds out in the alley). This is real interesting reading your take on this scene D.M.T., you've obviously thought about it a lot.

Jackster: Do you really think Ennis is "running the show" in the SNIT? He definitely wanted something to happen & ultimately submitted to Jack, but Jack initiated the kissing. Am I wrong?No, your absolutly right. I guess I "misspoke" ^-^. I think he definetly needed some help and direction here which Jack's eager to give. I believe Ennis had decided he wanted this, he just didn't know HOW to make it happen (he hadn't had the "opportunity" i.e. experience). It was HIS decision to go to the tent however, if he hadn't Jack would've been left in there with just his yearning, I can't see him again yelling, "Ennis, . . . get over here"!. I think this is one reason this scene is so enchanting (and erotic), the back and forth play between an eager yet subservient Jack and a hesitant but assertive Ennis. Those boys -Heath/Jake really played it well! I do think that once Ennis saw how this could go (as it did go), and he had an idea of the relationship in his head, he expected it to go as he wanted and on his terms.

Jackster: You are so right about how Heath & Jake played it. I wouldn't mind having a lesson or 2 from them. Agreed? :d)
I go into more depth about this scene in my fic on the Fic and Poems Forum here, it's called "Return To Brokeback Mountain", you should check it out I use scenes from the movie.I'll definitely check that out. OT- It is real interesting to me the way McMurtry and Ossana worked (or wrestled) that screenplay from the SS. Like keeping the "One shot thing" line but taking it from Jack and giving it to Ennis. That takes a lot of balls to do it, and brains to make it work. Brilliant.

Still have a hard time following your Ennis parents' timeline, but will study that.
jackster
The three excerpts are in the order they appear in the short story. The 3rd one says before his mother died, that indicates that up until she died, she was with Ennis, but the 1st clearly says both parents left the three kids. The proper way to write that would have been to say before his mother left him.
I'm no English major so I'm really out of my league here, but the sequence and wording Proulx laid out still makes perfect sense to me as a narrative. 1. They drove off the road, were killed and “left” (departed) their children by way of death (at the same time they also “left” them $24 by inheritance). Ennis was 14 (1958) or less at the time. 2. When Ennis was 19 (1963) he says the Del Mar Ranch folded years ago (say, ca 1960), two years after his folks died. 3. Finally, in the Dozy Embrace he dredges up the childhood phrase from sometime before 1958 when his mother (and father) died. Seems to me that to have written “before his mother left” here would imply that she intentionally abandoned the children rather than being “taken by death”. You're not seeing this as a suicide are you? In any case you may be reading above my pay level here!
jackster
Oh the kiss is only the kiss what they make, after they kiss, I hear those what I wrote :) :)
strange...after the kiss, all i heard was jack saying 'it's alright'. other than that, i can't hear anything else. i'm starting to wonder if there are different versions of the movie... ;D
i'm starting to wonder if there are different versions of the movie... ;D
I'm watching it right now and Jack says: come here and then they kiss and then he says I'm sorry and then it's alright twice ::)
Emzan, you also hear "it's alright", no?
Welcome. :)
yes I did :)
I still get confused as to whether Jack or Ennis was the one who was saying sorry, quite frankly. I will defer to your statement in this matter. :)
You can't really see Jack or Ennis move their lips, but thats because the camera is filming Ennis when you can hear "I'm sorry" so I guess that Jack says that ;D, but you can say "I'm sorry" when you're lips don't move, try :P
Maybe that was confusing and sorry for my bad English ::)
OT: your English is FAR from bad. :)
I still get confused as to whether Jack or Ennis was the one who was saying sorry, quite frankly.
Me too. One of the great beauties of this masterpiece . . . either one could have said it, and it still works, either way.
And thanks to Heath and Jake most of the communication here was beautifully non-verbal. <^(
I have wondered about this as well but only heard Jack say "It's alright" several times.
Ann
This was how it was for me also...
I think Jack knew he was trying to quell Ennis' fears so he said it's alright, etc.
I have wanted to know who said "I'm sorry" just before they kiss SNIT. It's supposed to be Ennis but I think I hear Jack say it.
(then later someone said they heard Ennis say "I Love you" when he is clutching he shirts to his chest.)
I wish the sound people had been more definitive when they recorded the dialog
I can tell whut is being said best with sound turned off . . .
It's spelled . . . . L.O.V.E.
O0 >:D <^(
Back to topic, if you put the subtitles on:
Ennis: I'm sorry (tough I'm not sure her really said it)
Jack: It's alright, it's alright.

I don't know Jackster....I've always thought that i was like Cham wrote here. Also in Spanish Ennis says "I'm sorry". I think Ennis says that cause it was him who went out to the sheep without give Jack a word, and it was Ennis who said that it was a one shot deal and he was not queer. After being hard with Jack and saying to him that he wanted not more of "that", he went to the tend again looking for more so he apologized for his previous behaviour and the things (one shot deal and not queer) he said before. Then Jack said to him "It's alright", trying to make clear that it doesn't matter anymore.
Still you got me confused with that "Lie back. Come on" cause I thought it was "Come here. Lie down". At least I heard that in the film and I read brokies saying that too. Mmmm..... :s)
Jackster, do you see what Ali and I are trying to say? What do you think? We want to know.
Now you make me watch this movie another 100 times. Reading what you all said confuses me even more.
Some of those words I never heard, and there are words I've heard and no one talks about.
I've never watch another movie so many times in my life, but I won't give up.
Ennis says "I'm sorry twice, Jack says "it's alright twice and "comon or comere" as they lay back. You can hear so much more with headphones on.
Ennis says "I'm sorry twice, Jack says "it's alright twice and "comon or comere" as they lay back. You can hear so much more with headphones on.yer this is right but also after jack says "comon/comere" he also says "lie back".
Gosh, now you really put me on the spot. Yes, of course, I do see what you’re saying and it makes perfect sense. The great beauty of BBM is the way Ang allowed us all “into” the film, we all see in it what we want, how we want it. This is what makes truly great art, and why this film is GREAT art. We are ALL correct, it works magically and beautifully every way you slice it, huh?
My only real point was to say that the subtitle folks are notorious, along with foreign language dubbers, at making grievous text and dialogue errors. Just ask Cham what he thinks about the French language version of BBM. They are not artists, they have a job. To be honest in listening to this scene with all kinds of headphones, and recently even the HD DVD version, I still can’t tell, it works both ways. Hope you don’t think this is a cop out; to me it’s just beautiful both ways.
O0
Thanks for your reply Jackster!! ^f^
I know what Cham think about the french version!! ;D ;D But tell you what, the Spanish version is identical to the original version, word by word, except (one huge stunning mistake ^*) ^*) ^*) ) the "Jack, I swear".
And yeah, sweetie, it's so beautiful both ways, in fact I don't mind who say what in that scene. The important thing there are the glances, the kisses, the caresses, THE LOVE between them.
Being new to this, I've enjoyed reading this thread. Whilst I know it really doesn't matter what they said, it's lovely watching it over and over again trying to figure it out. And I agree with what I read somewhere on this forum, that Ang Lee may have done this intentionally, letting us all give it our own interpretation.
The great thing about watching these clips so many times, is that you often see or hear something new. I really thought this scene couldn't get any sexier, but what I hear Jack saying (and the volume needs to be LOUD) just sends this scene off the scale as far as I'm concerned.
For the record, this is what I hear:
As Jack is going towards Ennis for the kiss he whispers "Come on" (oh my, oh my....)
As Jack starts to kiss Ennis he says in a kind of breathy exhalation "Go on, go on" (oh my, oh my, oh my.....)
After the kiss he says "it's allright" three times. (Oooohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyy.........................)

I hear Jack saying "Can I kiss you?" before he does, but no-one else has ever mentioned this - nevertheless, I hear it.
Yes, I do think he said 'its alright'I agree....it is indeed said beautifully
But you have said its meaning most beautifully: 'its ok to love me.'
