I love this scene where Ennis offers to switch places. It was so sweet, and Jack was clearly taken aback...
As I mentioned in previous posts, I thought that Jack was always complaining because he wanted to find an excuse to be with Ennis at night, and not be separated from him. Ennis's offer was not what he expected or really wanted, but he must have been touched nonetheless...
I probably couldn't agree more. Ang does an admirable job of leaving his messages between the lines of his characters.
In this particular scene, both characters are brimming with something I can relate to almost ridiculously; each has a personality sort of radiating vulnerability, cemented in brand new ground. Civilized, timid, aching for connection and maybe not knowing it as equally..
