Steve O,Those must be your stereotypes. They're not mine. I saw nothing in the beginning of the film that would lead to the first encounter in the tent. That's why I found it unbelievable. Apparently, there was sufficient character development to satisfy you. There wasn't for me.
I've said it was a good film but not the masterpiece that has been touted by many, in my opinion.

And I'd read the story! Also I agree, we weren't looking for the "limp-wristed" "stereotype". Geez Luiz!
...Jack was hot-eyed for Ennis at the beginning? Didn't catch all those little looks while they were camping on the mountain? Didn't you get the impression that these two were desperately lonely young men? I guess not.Yeah, I read the story too (albeit when it was in TNY) and I thought the development of the relationship (and the way it was counterpointed with visual imagery) was...well...beautifully done.
