Another example is in the opening scene when Christie wakes Jim. He wakes up and blinks rapidly trying to process the fact that in his dream he could see and when awake he can't. That always stands out to me because you can see the confusion in his face followed by a sigh of relief that it was a dream but also realizing that he is blind. Great acting.  Never really noticed that. Guess now I'll have to rewatch!  I did that??? I'm sorry!! ;D - Chris  |

Thought I had better scoot over here since it concerns Jim and Terry and the bank and suppressed emotions etc etc etc.
I mentioned that I thought maybe Jim was not totally done with Terry yet. Even though he said he was, even though he said that "he would rather lose his sight than his courage" (if this doesn't define the character of Jim Dunbar I don't know what does!) I didn't get the sense of closure that said he would not be revisiting that particular dream anytime soon. It just seemed a little too pat, excuse me. His anger, his feeling that Terry had "gotten off" had been simmering for over a year, erupting when Galloway made his innocent remark (another scene where I wish they had delved into matters more deeply). Jim never had the opportunity to tell Terry how he really felt to obtain the catharsis he needed to finally be able to put it behind him. While he did the right thing in pushing Terry to admit to what he had done to Titus it couldn't have made up for what he felt Terry had failed to do the day of the bank.
