For the little I contributed, you're welcome. And welcome to The Brokeback Mountain ForumThis is such a great forum! Finally! I found some other peeps who love the film as much as I do! (I'm only sorry that I found it so late...)
Sam I think you are going to find, if you haven't already, that not only is this a great forum, but the people here are super fantactic and loving. I have
NEVER found a place where people, of all orientations, all genders and from around the world get together and there isn't a cross word written. It is just fantastic.
Sigh....sometimes I feel 'abnormal'....It's sad, but I am the only one in my 'close friend group' who is so crazy about this film...others (including my partner!) just 'mildly' LIKED the film....and they don't understand why I am so completely 'obsessed' with it....sigh...
The movie affects different people differently; some more than others and some not at all; but they are rare. We had a discussion about why the movie affects us so much but I don't think we ever came up with a concensus. It probably affects each of us for different reasons.
...they all laugh when I start crying when I see ANYthing pertaining to the film on tv...(so much now appearing, leading up to the Oscars...hehe) I am so touched by the movie, that my eyes fill up with tears almost immediately when I hear even any part of the movie score being played...pathetic, huh?
Well, don't feel bad, I have PBS (Post Brokeback Syndrome) so bad that I cry when I see the Budweiser commercial with two cowboys in it. That's bad! But, whenever there is something, somewhere, that is western, it makes me think of BBM and the tears flow. I have even started to cry for no apparent reason. I can't figure that one out.
And to answer your question, NO it is
NOT pathetic at all.
Have fun, write lots of messages and enjoy the wonderful people.
Oh! And by the way, if you have the hots for Ennis,
DO NOT tell frog123. She will scratch your eyes out!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
