I'm with Patriot1 on this - he seems to stumble a little as he comes out of the tent but he's not walking like someone who's in pain in any way. I think he's probably got up pretty quick - he wakes up to realise that Ennis isn't there, hears Ennis outside saddling up the horse, and so gets up really fast to try and speak to him before he leaves - which would explain the unsteadiness as he comes out of the tent.

you know, I noticed the funny walk during my very first viewing but only because some idiots from behind me started laughing and saying stuff like 'haha, can you see the way he walks? f****** fag got all f***** up the ass'- they were absolutelly DISGUSTING!!!!!!

Koka, I'm sorry you had such a negative theatre experience. I was lucky and always got very respectful audiences. Now to get us back on topic, of course there are so many good lines in this movie. But I have to admit I really feel for Jack when he says maybe he'll be back "...if the army don't get me." The desperate hope in his face and voice when he says he might be back, like he's telling Ennis 'I'll be here if you decide to come back'.

The lines that always get to me are Jack saying, "I did, once" when Ennis asks, "You got a better idea?" - sums up all the frustrated longing and unfulfilled hope he's felt.

And "See you in the mornin'" from the flashback - once the story comes back into the present you know there won't be another morning, ever, and that's the worst thing, that they're never going to get beyond this moment.

yeah, I had pretty bad movie experiences....my 6th viewing was particulary nasty- during the SNIT one guy started shouting 'this isn't normal? why doesn't anyone say something about this? how can this possibly be considered art? why don't you people SAY anything', some people started shouting back ( 'shut the f*** up or get out of the f****** movie theater' ), others began to laugh and I noticed 90% of the audience missed the scene where aguirre sees ennis&jack 'wrestling' ( my mom&best friend included ). my best movie experiences where the ones where there were aproximatelly 10-20 people in the movie theater.

sorry for getting OT, now to get back on topic: speaking of quotes and jack's sad looks- I DIE of sadness when he says 'see you for supper' after the FNIT and looks at Ennis with utter sadness and longing in his big, blue, puppy dog eyes. that scene really brings tears to my eyes. :\'(

Other great quotes that I'm obsessed with are:

If you can't fix it Jack you gotta stand it..
Fer how long?
Fer as long as we can ride it.. their ain't no reins on this one..

Jack and Ennis

Alma Jr., Age 13: Daddy, tell about when you rode broncs in the rodeo.
Ennis Del Mar: Short story honey. Only 'bout three seconds I was on that bronc. Next thing I knew, I was flyin' through the air... only I wasn't no angel like you and Jenny here; didn't have no wings. And that's the story of my saddle bronc career.

I find the moments with his daughters so touching,you can relay feel, how much he loves and adores them!!
The expression on his face when he asks them if they need a push...
]And in the end with Alma's sweater,so gentle ,
how he carefully folds it ,and then smells it like when he finds the shirts in Jack's closet...sigh

I'm sitting here reading all these quotes and just almost crying -- "I did, once," "...if the Army don't get me," "See you in the morning," etc. But this one makes me smile. I, too, totally adore Ennis's love for his daughters. And not only here, their "nooooo," but in most of their scenes, they speak together -- it's darling. Like when they're in the truck and meet Jack (after the divorce) (I want to cry again), they say hello in unison there, too.

Quote from: stacp on May 04, 2006, 05:38 PM
For some reason, Jack's "see ya for supper" after the first night in the tent gets to me. He comes wobbling out of that tent, shirt untucked, and walking funny (he did think to put his hat on, though ). Then he says the line, hoping it's not over. The expression on Jack's face reads a thousand different emotions: longing, worry, concern, hope, shame, love, lust, etc. Love the scenes on BBM--wish they never left!

You know, that is the first thing I looked for when Jack comes out of the tent...did he walk funny. I could never see that he did. When he comes out of the tent he does "wobble" some but that is because he just woke up, not because he was sore or anything like that. Or at least that is the way I took it.

I thought he walked funny for the obvious reason, but what do I know? I guess it's as likely he was just stumbling out, had just woken up. But yes, it's so tragic, he says, "See you for dinner," and Ennis says nothing! Just gut-wrenching. But then...when Ennis comes up on the hillside...

I hate to be trite but my favorite line from the movie is:

"Sometime I miss you so much I can hardly stand it." I think I have worn a groove in my DVD because I have played that scene so much. I just love to see Jack's face, hear his voice as he says it.

My favorite quote from the short story is from the reunion scene: "then, and easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard."

My favorite..."Besides, he's cheatin us out of a whole months pay"
Translation=he's cheating us out of one more month together...i'm not ready to let you go Jack! :\'(

NoReins · « **Reply #409 on:** Jun 28, 2006, 06:48 AM »

Mine is still "Long as we can ride it - ain't no reins on this one"

Translation - I want to keep seeing you for as long as we can, because I've never had feelings this strong before and I can't stop them.

I love Ennis saying this. This is a lot more open than is usual for him. Compare to "Uhdunno" in the motel scene. Even though your "translation" is what he really means, what he actually says is very much a declaration of love to Jack, in an Ennis kind of way.

That is precisely the one endearment that Ennis really pays Jack in the book and should have paid him in the movie.....It is SO Ennis and captures how Ennis feels about Jack without getting mushy, sentimental or sugary....I love it

That reminds me of another one, in the same vein, "I feel awful bad about Jack, I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel" :\'( Of course, he couldn't tell Jack's parents how bad he felt, and why, even though they knew anyway, and in Jack's mum's case, she understood.

welshwitch · « **Reply #416 on:** Jul 05, 2006, 09:12 AM »

It seems a pity that his face, which is so expressive of loss and grief, is facing the awful John Twist rahter than Jack's mother, who seems able to read him whereas John Twist wouldn;t recognise an emotion if one dropped on him from a great height.

JACK: Anything interesting up there in heaven?
ENNIS: I was just sending up a prayer of thanks...
I know Ennis try to tell something more to Jack, maybe he try to say "thanks for bring me to life again"

Jack knew that's exactly what Ennis meant which is why the proposal came next!

And he's making a joke, making Jack laugh - which brings them straight back into the rlationship they had when they wer herding sheep.
