That's such a beautiful, kindly thought, Mews, but no surprise coming from you. Embattled lovers everywhere would be fortunate to have you as their champion and confidante. I mean that. Your heart really goes out for persons under duress.

I could say it's the natural result of your own life sorrows and losses, but I've met other people for whom loss and sorrow only makes them harder and meaner. Understanding and good will just seems to illuminate your posts. I am so glad to have met you through the fandom.

No trouble, only a pleasure. :)

of course I have to comment on this post before the others, using this icon!

That last dreamy image of Jack...when I saw that in the trailer, combined with the temp score, I got tears. I was literally so excited to see this movie that I was bouncing up and down, due to a bunch of factors, but mostly that moment. It spoke to me soooo much.

I love what you're doing with these screencaps, and can't wait to more fully digest and comment on the other entries!

Oh, Hadara, I am so glad you got to see them. If you look at the "First Tent Scene" (Pt. II) you'll see a cap a friend sent me she had found on the internet. I wish all of them could have that quality!

Or, perhaps, that cap she found was actually taken during a rehearsal and isn't from the theatrical release. The colour and quality are simply excellent. How that was done from images with almost no light I don't know. (It's down at the bottom, as an addition. Note that there is a link at the bottom of every BBM post to take you to the "Table of Contents" of links, which I thought would make things easier.)

I never saw any previews for this film. I had never heard of it, the short story of Annie Proulx until I saw that another Frodo fan was talking the film up when it was still in post-production.

I love your icon. I have a copy of the large image, all golden and dreamy.

Would I sound really shallow if I said that all can see here is Jake's beautiful mouth? *vbg*

[mechtild]

[Ah HA! This time I saved it before posting!!!]

[o.k. one more time...]

Just tell it like it is, sister.

You see Jake's mouth, I see Ennis' hands, and hear his voice, drawling, rumbling softly in my ear, "Lil'
darlin'." *sigh*

He can call me quaint western diminutives all day long (especially since I ain't 'lil').

(((((((((Mechtild))))))) Thank you for a great collection and deep thoghts! :k I couldn't reply before, but I'm very grateful that you've done such a huge job!

((((Hugs))))

P.S. Ennis on the stairs... oh, my, oh, my! :)

[mechtild]

Ellin! I am so please you were able to drop in. I know you enjoy the film, once you finally got to see it. *smooch*

[ellinestel]

Err... I suspect there was a misunderstanding... ;) I've seen it twice already. :) And loved it.

[mechtild]

No misunderstanding, Ellin. My typo left my meaning vague. I typed,

I know you enjoy the film, once you finally got to see it.

I meant, " know you enjoyed the film, once you finally got to see it."

Oops!

What's made a big impact on me with the scene is the simple but very effective way Ang Lee contrasts the emotions of young and "old" Jack at the end of that scene. Young Jack looks after the leaving Ennis with so much love and adoration in his still-somewhat-tranced-an-dazed eyes, while the older version shows all the resignation and sadness and even the tinge of bitterness of those 20 years' worth of crushed hopes and dreams.Well put, Maeglian, really. But do you know it took me more than one viewing to even get it that that was a flash back

[mechtild]

Have you heard that? I like to think you are right.

I do think you are right. I really was just too engrossed in the emotional exchanges to notice stuff like costumes - or even whether Jake had a moustache or not!
