Second Night in the Tent

[rmperalta]

It's so long ago now... But I'm fairly sure that SNIT was central to my succumbing to Brokeback Fever. The virus perhaps?   And much as I usually like faithfulness to an original, the film has a life of its own and has moved and influenced thousands of people - well probably millions? - worldwide, and I would think that SNIT may well be at the core of this. It showed  the tenderness that can exist between men that many people had not given thought to before.

So well-put, yes! And it shows the transition from lust to love, from "drunk and didn't know what I was doing" to "I choose you, I choose this." And I keep seeing SNIT in my head when I listen to the entirety of "A Love That Will Never Grow Old."

I just had to come here and tell you that I really like what you said, that I bolded above.

I've never posted in this thread, but it's my 'opinion' that the 2nd night in the tent was MUCH MORE realistic to me, the FNIT, not so much, no, no, no...........

With all their "pent up" feelings:  clearly Jack had fallen for Ennis; add in lots of booze; those "standard normal thinking" inhibitions be damned can happen so easily!  Was Ennis "as experienced" as Jack may have been?  Never really revealed but my gut says not likely.   Certainly, they were both very sober and willing for the SNIT though it was clear Ennis was hesitant.   V.

When you compare those two scenes, they are very different.

The first night was basically all about giving into lust, and satisfying a pent up need.  Even alcohol played a part in it.

The second night was more about giving into one's feelings and emotional wants.

Was Ennis as experienced?   I would say 'no', but was it his first time doing that?   I would have to say 'no' again.  He sure seemed to know what he was doing.

If I were a purist I would not want SNIT to be in the film. But thank goodness I’m not!

I think it was the scene that affected me most deeply.

discussing what was said in the tent?

Fir some reason the scene that always makes me cry is when they see each other for the last time and get into the argument and Ennis collapses crying, and Jack takes him in his arms. Of ALL the scenes that one just tears me up, every single time.

^^ Yes.  For me, it's between:

a) The "I don't know how to quit you" scene on the shore of the lake where Ennis collapses and Jack just hold him and
b) The scene in Ennis' trailer where he goes to the closet and we see the intertwined shirts followed by "Jack, I swear." and then a we see a view out a scratched dirty window of golden fields - the dream just outta reach. 

Those just give me chill bumps to this day.  V>
