Topic: Your Favorite Scene of the Movie - (possible spoiler)

[Patriot1]

3. The entire reunion kiss scene is INCREDIBLE, but I especially love Ennis’ little head nudge thing at the end. In that moment, I hear him saying ‘I love you, I’ve missed you, I need you so much.’ It’s like ‘Whoa! Ennis is being affectionate!’ I love it.

I love that part too, its so sad, hes like a cat marking his territory or he is saying I love you in his way

Hahahaha !!! I love the thought of Ennis being a cat marking his territory. 

Hmmmmmm. I didn't know Jack was into water sports!

Does it make me stupid that I don't know what's going on???

I'm sorry I'm not as knowledgeable as you older folks....

Don't worry, it doesn't make you stupid at all. To be honest, I don't know what Patriot meant by water sports either.

I just think it's funny.

No dear, it sure doesn't make you stupid. 

When a cat marks it's territory it pees to mark it. When greenfrog suggested that Ennis was like a cat marking his territory with Jack I just thought it was funny picturing Ennis peeing on Jack.

In the gay world there are people, not me thank goodness, that get some sort of thrill by peeing on others or being peed on.  It is known as water sports or golden showers. What it is called in the straight world I have no idea. Maybe the same thing.

When I mentioned water sports, I guess I was hoping everyone knew what that was so I wouldn't have to explain it. But, in my heart I knew someone would ask I guess.   

No, not stupid at all.

[erica loves jack]

haha ooooook, i get it.

[Patriot1]

haha ooooook, i get it.

Oh thank goodness you got it!!!!!!!!!!!  I was dreading having to give a more detailed explanation.   

[erica loves jack]

haha ooooook, i get it.

Nah, I'm one smart cookie once I put my mind to it..... just like Mr. Ennis Del Mar. 

[greenfrog]

haha ooooook, i get it.

I think we were all dreading a more detailed explanation.

And yes, it#s the same term in the straight world - I know this because I used to read the cards posted in London phone boxes by those who provide a variety of services at a price!

Oddly enough cats also spread their sent by rubbing heads - there's apparently a scent gland at the top of thier heads, so maybe this scene contains some sort of throwback to the primitive - maybe we once had the same sort of sensitivity to small but have lost it, at least consciously. Lovers often rest their heads together too.

thats what i meant! when i said he was like a cat that was marking his territory. Thats why i said it. Though, later that night, Ennis officially sprayed Jack as his own

I'm sorry . . . That last post by FulOfSadness just sounds so funny.

[greenfrog]

I can't call this a favourite scene, but more a scene I would really love to see.

[keren_b]

I can't call this a favourite scene, but more a scene I would really love to see.

I've read somewhere it was a double there, not Jake. Anybody knows?

[welshwitch]

Yes, supposedly shot during the week or so whan Jake was away - ? something to do with preparing for "Jarhead". Looks as if it might have been part of something bigger, but we're never going to know, specially if they don;t bring out another DVD.

[erica loves jack]

so what exactly is he doing?? peeing?? 

[NoReins]

I don't think he is Erica - I think he's just standing on the bridge, probably thinking about Ennis while Ennis is up with the sheep?

[erica loves jack]

ohhh ok. i was trying to figure out why greenfrog would like a pic of a guy standing over water so much.... so i just figured maybe it was because he was peeing and you got a peek. haha yeah nevermind...

[welshwitch]

He's standing there thinking deep and meaningful philosophical thoughts, of course, preparatory to getting back into the tent....and replaying our favorite scene!

[CrimsonSky]

Absolutely, and the fact that he's doing it with his shirt off has nothing whatsoever to do with my wishing that scene had been included :-[, then when I read it wasn't Jake, I didn't care anymore
Anyway, he does have his shirt off in my favourite scene (SNIT), and that reallt does have nothing to do with Jack being shirtless, it's all about the emotion, everything about that scene is just so beautiful, I could sit here all night going on about it, but it's all been said before, and much better than I can, so I won't What I will say is that after being away for two weeks and not being able to watch BBM, after months of watching at least part of it every day, the one scene I missed like crazy,more than any other and couldn't wait to see again, was SNIT, I kept replaying it in my head and must have watched it about 10 times when I got back

Sounds accurate. 

[greenfrog]

Another scene I would love to see.

[maggie]

My favorite scene well other then the tent or reunion kiss scene, is when they are sharing a smoke and drinking whiskey talking about the girls they are seeing.  Ennis talks about "putting the blocks to a good looking girl over in riverton" and Jack talks about "having a thing going with a ranch formens wife"  then after a moment of silence he says "truth is......sometimes i miss you so much i can hardly stand it"  to this Ennis says nothing....   soooo sooooo sad.   :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(

[rick65]

I'm not sure if I ever responded to the question of this thread. So I'll let y'all know why I think when Jack sings "...take me away!" it really brightens my mug. The two boys have already established a friendship-like interaction, and this follows Ennis' "ain't yet had the opportunity" by a day or two, I think. It heralds so much of the rest of the story, especially what comes next (FNIT). It's a Christian hymn, and I know that Methodists (Ennis' folks) regard songs as praisefull. Jack to me is actually singing as a sign of his happiness, loud and boisterous, in a similar manner, years later Ennis thanks his lucky stars, silently and unto himself.
This scene to me shows joy, innocence, and a hope of great things to come between Jack and Ennis. 

[greenfrog]

I love it when Jack sings. He sings with enthusiasm, happiness and an absolutely carefree nature. 

. . . And Ennis drinks his whiskey

I don't know if it is thew FAVORITE of mine, but when he mimica bull riding for Ennis...  I know some people don't like this scene at all, but I have grown to love it more and more.  The look and happiness on both their faces is priceless...

[greenfrog]

Ennis, sending up his prayer of thanks . . .

[keren_b]

Oh yes Greenfrog, the "sending up a prayer of thanks" is an amazing scene. first Ennis lying there so happy and peaceful and looking like an angel, and then Jack with "it could be like this, just like this always" (I'm choking now just writing down the words), and after that... the story of Earl and Rich  :\'( and "if you can't fix it you've gotta stand it" and "ain't no reins on this one"... I think that some of the movie's best sentences are in this scene, it certainly has a very strong dialoge. and a great level of emotion too.

Ennis, sending up his prayer of thanks . . .

yes this is the top of the top... the most deep and beautiful scene i don't understand why always cry when i saw it, but now i know
