DVD extras?

I found this on another forum. It was an answer given in response to the question, "What happened to scenes that were in the commercial but not in the movie"(e.g. Jake shirtless standing over a stream).
I can't vouch for the truth of it, but it seems like it's the truth.:

"If you can believe it, more than 40 minutes of film did not make into the final version. The shots you are referring to are just among a few that Ang Lee felt "drew conclusions" he wanted the audience to interpret.

The shirtless shot from the bridge is neither Heath or Jake but a body double. It was shot the same day as the skinny-dipping scene. This was the two week period Gyllenhaal was missing from location and Lee shot around him.
It was meant to be from Ennis's vantage point looking at Jack. You'll notice that we never catch Ennis eyeing Jack in desire.

Some other notes:
The bar scene in which Jack meets Lureen was cut extensively.

There is also a scene where Jack encounters the "Rodeo Clown" and his buddies outside of the bar and they block his path only to let him through in laughter.

Mechanics outside of the work trailer in Signal, WY, gawk at Jack as he leaves looking for work and Ennis the second Summer in 1964.

In a strange editing maneuver, The scene in which Ennis drops off the children to Alma at the store with the explaination that he's needed immediately at work is linked to the scene where Jake and Heath are seen driving in Ennis's truck. This would be a another impromptu get together after their initial reunion. The added scenes were dropped entirely from the film but the first scene, mentioned above, would remain.

Another scene not included was an exchange between Jack and Lureen's father prior to the Thanksgiving Day blow-up. Also another of Lureen convincing her father to hire Jack.

As far as sex scenes, besides a few different angles, there was nothing else shot. "


Pretty interesting, yes?

This is probably old news, but why was Jake missing from location for 2 weeks?

Yeah...I want to know why too...perhaps to do some work on Jarhead?

Re: Bridge Scene

I would have liked to have seen that used in the movie...but perhaps after the second the tent scene where it is obvious that Ennis is attracted to Jack.

DAMMIT...the body double was HAWT...like whoa...very sexy scene.

Okay, I think everything they filmed that didn't make the original should be on deleted scenes. Everything.

I'm still confused about the shot of Ennis and Jack in the truck. I can't tell who the person driving is or when it is in the movie. At first, I thought it was the drive back to Aguirre's on the last day by the look of defeat on Ennis' face, but then I see what they're wearing and it doesn't match up. Ennis is wearing THE shirt and so it Jack, so it can't be the end of the summer.

I believe that's a shot from the day they go up the mountain. The day before when they are first hired Aguirre tells them that they'll truck them up to the drop off point the next day. I think that's what that scene represents.

Obviously this comment will prove I've spent far too much time in recent months eyeing Jake's body...but I told my girlfriends that I didn't think that was Jake jumping off that cliff to go skinny dipping. They insisted it was and I kept saying, "I really don't thinks so." *ahem*

So yeah, can't wait to see the DVD...

I read somewhere (sorry I can't remember where) that it wasn't JG because he is afraid of heights so they used a body double for the jump but it is HL.

I WANT IT ALL!!! EVERYTHING! And more naughtiness would of course be best...;) Though if need be I'll settle for them just driving off in the truck, leaving Alma in the store with the kids...

As much as I want all this to be true, that scene of both of them in the truck can't be what they say it is, because in the full shot of that scene we see the driver, who I believe is the provisions-man who brings the mules with food to Brokeback...

Poor Anne Hathaway. It sounds like a lot of her scenes were left on the cutting room floor.

And Jack had more reason to be afraid than Ennis.

shirts

I've rummaged around in my stuff and have found the perfect denim shirt to hang. I found a reasonable copy of Ennis's shirt at a second hand store. They're now hanging on a nail outside my closet (logistics, can't hang them inside). All I need is the postcard to tack up next to it. I see the shirts daily. What I want to know is, how many others have done the same?

Now I finally understand why that scene in the grocery store feels odd to me. I couldn't put my finger on it - it always felt like Ennis was lying to Alma, that he wasn't really going up to the boss's to help with the heifers. His whole demeanour is of someone who's lying his ass off and isn't sure if she will believe him, but he has to go thru with it.

If it was in conjunction with one of his 'little trips' then it makes perfect sense in that context. But it doesn't put Ennis in a very good light, dumping the kids in that kind of way so he can go and fuck Jack all weekend, which is probably why the reference to that particular fishing trip was dropped.

Actually, he cut it precisely for the fact that you thought all of those things, regardless of that scene being in it or not. Lee is a master editor...but we already knew that. :)
