Oh, my oh my, that kiss! I was so focused at my first viewing on that kiss, haveing watched the animation clip many more times than I care to admit, and I was not disappointed. The devouring hunger, the pause for breath, the greedy return for more, more - it was the most arousing thing I'd ever seen on screen. But my focus on waiting for that kiss caused me to completely overlook what is now My Favorite Kiss, the kiss in the tent, on their second night.
It must have been your comments, mechtild, that made me really examine this kiss carefully. When Jack draws Ennis down to him, with such infinite tenderness, to kiss him and hold him close - well, in my second viewing, this was the moment when I began to believe. I wish I had paused to appreciate this kiss the first time! My perceptions would have been very different.
