What was Henry looking at?


What was Henry looking at in Deans hair when they were in church? It looked like there was a leaf in his hair. Maybe hes trying to imagine kissing him? I am so bad with analyzing movies.

I'm pretty sure it was a leaf.

Ooh, how poetic. Was it really a leaf, though? Henry doesn't seem to me like a poetic sort of fellow. But he REALLY had a crush on Dean. His look reflects his longing toward the man.

Well it looed like a leaf to me. I need to watch the movie again.

yeup..it's a leaf

reply

Yes, it's a leaf, and maybe he remembered something they did when they were young.

Oh my I wonder about this all the time! This time I looked closely, as it was my first time watching the movie in High Def, and it looks like it's a small leaf covered by some of Dean's hair. But, what is the meaning, why is there this half-dream sequence supposed to mean?
