I love what everyone has said about this pic, this scene, and about extraordinary Heath and his Ennis. He was acting with his whole body, being Ennis with his whole body. As Thomas said, about how fully expressive he was in this scene when half the time we don't even see his face!
But also, what I love about this pic is how Jack just goes ahead and gets into Ennis's space. Not gonna let Ennis keep him out.
We could talk about the whole male shaking-hands thing, that women don't have. We of course have our own connecting rituals and signals and such, but I think this flesh-to-flesh touching thing that men do commonly is so interesting. It has an odd kind of intimacy.
