Well, I looped that section and listened and listened with earphones... I did not hear it... lots of grunting... I heard a 'oooff!' and rustling, but not the "F**k  Me!"
I caught the "I love you' in the closet scene and even the 'I'm sorry" but not this...
Just as well...

I don't even like the idea of it being said. It is not in the short story , not in the screenplay and I cannot hear it in the movie at all.

I also think that at the time this was set the word itself wasn't used as prolifically as it is now. OK after 20 years in the 80's with the high altutude f***s it was more commonly used. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I came from a very rough, working class area of the city. People just didn't use the word freely in those days. They said "ride" or "poke" as a slang word for sex. I never heard my Dad or any of his 7 brothers say the word or any adult when I was a kid.

I think some people are reading too much into grunts and groans.

I agree with u Tom x

Excerpt from what I said in the "I love you" thread:

>>I would say, to each his/her own.  I do hear it, although subtle.  If you feel that Ennis saying those words would spoil the intent of the movie for you, then I would suggest not going out of the way (ie. playing multiple times or turning up the volume, etc.) to try to hear it in those scenes.  Some of us do feel that it takes it to a different level, making it more special in a way...

No, you just come from a different country and culture where the word wasn't used as it is here, that's all.  You can't look at this movie from the point of view of your culture Tom.  I also grew up in the 40's 50's and 60's and it is a word I heard a lot from an ignorant stepfather and other adults.  Fortunately it wasn't until I went to work in the local shipyard that I picked up the word.  I wish I never had.

For those who can't hear it (and by "it" I mean what others are talking about) it is in two consecutive grunts, first the F word, then Me. 

It's definitely there.  But I don't think it's definite that this is what Jake is saying.  Might be, and I've only listed twice.  Buf it you want to hear for yourself, listen for one word per groan.

If I had to bet I'd say 60% likely that's what he's saying and 40% likely the power of suggestion and wishful thinking.

Listened for it tonight and it was there...................no doubt. Considering how delicate the marketing of this movie had to be I am not surprised that we are all finding things in the DVD that we never saw in the theater. I just lay back and enjoy what I see on myTV. I have BBM for my own and that's all I need.
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

Ennis, riding against the wind back to the sheep in the treacherous, drunken darken light, thought he'd never had such a good time, felt he could paw the white out of the moon.

Get some headphones boy! The hollowing of the plains is almost constant. Just somthing I noticed tonight. I've got some other things to say but guess I'd better find the right topic.

<OT> I will. I find that wathing DVD with headphone is another great viewing experience when I was trying to hear Ennis say "I love you" last night. It sounds like Ennis and Jack were just right next to me.

I replayed the first tent scene, with headphones on and volume cranked to max, and I heard it, too. It was very muffled, hidden in between all the grunting and heavy breathing, but it was there. Someone (Patriot?) pointed out that these lines weren't in the screenplay, so it looks like another case of our boys ad-libbing brilliantly. Heath and Jake became Ennis and Jack. No wonder their performance blew Annie Proulx away! Both of them deserved Academy Awards for their accomplishments in BBM. Who would have thought that Jake would have the dedication to research his role by watching gay porn videos?  :o (Thanks, Patriot - I loved that!  ;D)

Ennis, weather-eyed, looked west for the heated cumulus that might come up on such a day but the boneless blue was so deep, said Jack, that he might drown looking up.

His shaking hand grazed Ennis's hand, electrical current snapped between them.

I don't know what to think, maybe I don't want to hear those words on film, although in original Proulx text it would be more appropriate, in place. Movie is like a kinder version of the novel. (I didn't replay it, maybe later..)

I agree.

Other thought, as I remember now, whiskey has quite bad side effects on me, too ;D (with that mount of w i would be under the table..or unconscious.. aww ::) what was i thinking like it's not the same thing being unconscious under table. no, i do not confess anything.)

With all due respect to Jake, you don't need to watch gay porn videos to get this expression...

Hey all! It's Ann, I'm new, introduced myself in the Mountain Cafe!!
So I've watched the movie three times in as many days, can ya say obsessed?
Why in the world do I read a post like this when I'm at work and have no access to the DVD?  Why do I have to wait at least another 8 hours to see this??? lol.
Gah, I have so many comments and questions about the movie, I guess I better get out of here and continue my journey throughout this wonderful board!!

Agree with Tom, if it's there for some of you, fine.  If not, that's even better.  As Tom said, it wasn't in the story, etc.  Can't imagine why they would put it in when everything was so meticulous about the film.  And as Tom said, f..k was not a word used prolifically at that time.  When f..k was said at that time, it meant something... now it is just a noun, verb, adverb, adjective used indiscriminately by persons who don't have an adequate vocabulary to get their idea across without profanity.  Rarely swear, but if I do then people know I am either very upset or angry.
