Topic: Cutest Jack scenes and Sexiest Jack scenes

He tried his best not to show his hurt, but you can hear it in his voice, and a little bit of it shows in his eyes...

His expression was so well done! You could actually FEEL what he felt!

And I actually felt the hurt when you hear his voice sort of break, no?  It is both cute and sad -- if that makes any sense.

So many times he was like a little boy, innocence lost, so sweet and yet so sad.

Yeah, Jake Gyllenhaal's acting was the BEST acting i'v ever seen! (Heath too!)

[tpe]

I think both of them are rare and wonderful actors.

As top another Jack scene, I found the one where he rides the tractor with Bobby very cute.

The boy aspect cannot be underplayed.  It highlights Jack's vulnerability as child-like.

Just watched the first 1/2 of the DVD again last night (oh darn hee hee).  IMO the cutest is the expression on Jack's face as he's bounding about on his "low startle point" horse that first morning in camp, kind of like, "what?  I can do this" to Ennis.  I also love the giggle/grin when Ennis teases him about if he'd got lucky the harmonica would have broken. 

Sexiest:  Jack/Jake has a way of tongue teasing; sticking it out just a tiny bit from the corner of his mouth.  This strikes me as sexy for some crazy reason.  I find Heath a sexier man, but Jake just has those EYES - I'm sure we've all gotten lost in them, am I right?  And I bet he'd be a great kisser.  He has very mobile lips - lots of pucker. 

It's getting hot in here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,Heath himself said once that he was a very good kisser...
Cutest:His face when he arrives to the camp to see Ennis is not there.He's really cute,not better said,gorgeousˇ
Sexiest: The way he looks at Ennis at the SNIT.
There're a lot more,of course,but now I've choosen only these twoˇ.

Tell me about it!  You may find the Jakelicks thread to be right up your alley. 

I concur about Heath being sexier, but would still love to drown in those eyes of Jake's.

[hippiewannabe]

Wow, I totally forgot to mention the splattered beans scene - too cute - I think I remember hearing this was not supposed to happen but Jake stayed in character.  So funny considering his "I'm pretty good with a can opener" line!

Another sexy (and Jake isn't really my type so I think it's funny that I keep coming up with more) - view of Jack's LOOOONNGG legs in snug jeans - I'm thinking specifically of the lake scene as he's facing away from Ennis and he's got the tan parka on.  Sad scene but this shot of Jake is very nice to look at.

Yes, that IS an exquisite scene -- it was obvious that he didn't want to lose face in front of Ennis.  He tried not to show his difficulties with the horse.  Very cute, indeed.

Jakelicks are always sexy.

I will agree that his face in this scene was very cute.  But I will also say that I find it very sexy.

You can't be a loser with either one!

Yes, and I think that ther splattered bean scene was perhaps accidental -- which made it all the more cute.

i too have heard it was accidental so yes that adds cuteness

[BlueMountain]

I loved the 2nd tent scene where Jack had this caring expression on his face, he just wanted to make Ennis relax... and not stress out like he did during the first tent scene which was H.o.t.

Sometimes, the unforseen brings out the best in an actor.  Very cute.

And his voice -- heard sotto voce -- was very sexy.

Yes,it was,the same than in the motel scene,with that "Old Brokeback got us good...".

[smartestsonia]

Yes,it was,the same than in the motel scene,with that "Old Brokeback got us good...".

I swear, there is a sweet whisper in his voice...that was so dam hot  
I love the way they hold each other in the Motel....its so sweet and hot...

[tpe]

Yes,it was,the same than in the motel scene,with that "Old Brokeback got us good...".

Excellent point.  I really found it so sexy -- the way he said it AND the way he sort of nudged Ennis.  And in that moment, we don't even see the eyes...

Incidentally, that part in the motel scene where we see him im profile whispering to Ennis, with eyes gleaming in the dark -- very sexy.

[tpe]

The way Jack holds Ennis was both intimate and, yes, very sexy.  And there were times in that scene where I think he was smelling Ennis's hair...  Am I the only one who gets this impression?  I doubt it...

You doubt brilliantly! I love it, and I love that it seems he is taking in the scent of Ennis. His hair. He could have smelt any part of his lover (which I'm sure he had and will) but the hair can be cut off, detached, grow back without any sensory perception of pain. It titillates my imagination, and I find it likely that it could be Jack's most striking recap of where his lover has been. His hair, like a nest, a cobweb accumulating the fragments and molecules of his immediate surroundings. Before I trail off into the wonders of space, I do find this scene and particularly the intimacy quite sexy, romantic, natural. It plays like a rich contrast to nearly any other (Hollywood) love scene I've seen.

I think this detail comes closest to the very visceral description of this scene in the short story.  We are confronted with such strong smells and sights in Proulx's original description.  Much of this is simply implied in the movie, but I love nonetheless this little detail of Jack smelling Ennis.  This alone is enough to conjure the entire description of the ss, for those of us who have read it....

[orangetruck]

It is. Like when Ennis smells the shirts, has one instance of a memory and knows what he had was love.

I still wonder what it would have been like to read of SNIT in the SS. I have always been attracted to the male scent personally, and this certainly didn't make the scenes of scent in either version of Brokeback any simpler for me to digest. That is that there was an emotional pretense I carried through the BBM experience.

As for both cute and sexy (from the perspective of either Jack or Ennis), my gawd does Ennis snatching Jack's shirt and wrestling him ever stand out.

I suspect that the SNIT would have been "rougher" and more "smelly/sweaty" had Proulx included it in the ss.  This is indeed a perfect foil to the motel scene, in that I think we also seem to sense that Ennis was smelling Jack in this very scene.

But do you also get the impression that Jack was (again) smelling Ennis's hair, as in the later motel scene?

[tpe]

Yes, this is a very Whitmanesque scene.  Explicitly so.  Very saey: for both Jack AND Ennis.

Yes, and yes.

[tpe]

Yes, and yes.

All the scenes with Jack (and Ennis) where we get a feeling of the sensual element (smell, touch, etc...)  -- very very sexy.

[orangetruck]

Totally.

And I can also sense an equivalence here to the scene of Alma and Ennis getting married in that both sort of represent the extent of love in each world (life on the mountain with Jack, and life off of it with Alma) that Ennis was allocated. This isn't to over shadow the dozy embrace or any comparably intimate scene; it's to distinguish the nature of love from the pretense of society and of time and place. In other words, in my eyes Jack and Ennis married/complimented each other much more naturally.

In this scene, pre-binoculars, you do sense they were both engaged and that everything was flawless for a moment in time. And that was worth everything in comparison to the cheaper vow off the mountain.

How about when they're tumbling down the hill before departing, and Jack giggles as Ennis (as it at least seems at one point) tickles him. Before it gets violent, I find it really cute.
