At what points during the film did you lose it?

Ally-at-BetterMost:
Yeah that made me lose it as well... :'( I am still too afraid to watch the movie again, I think I'm going to cry all the time then!

ifyoucantfixit:





         When the song "he was a friend of mine played"  I still lose it when hearing that song sometimes. 

Sheriff Roland:
I didn't lose it at all for a long time. Was deeply affected, but didn't lose it, until the 3rd or 4th viewing in the theatre.

Nowadays (& I'm talking about in the past 6 months or more), I start 'losing it' soon after "There's somethin I been meanin ta tell ya, bud." That entire scene next to the trucks (before the dozy embrace) is such a laying-down-the-cards-on-the table scene that is so powerful and goes on and hurts and goes on more and hust more, and on again ... hurts a lot. Most extraordinary dialogue

And of course it's all set up with "You know what? ............................very long - very effective pause.......................................... Sometimes I miss you so much I can't stand it"

(Sorry if I'm quoting wrongly ... I'm staying away from the movie & book fasting until the Alberta pilgrimage)

Brown Eyes:
In my first viewing of BBM in the theatre I think I lost it when Ennis discovered the shirts.

But, my now-normal routine is to lose it during the flashback (and then often again in the Lightning Flat and trailer scenes).

Meryl:
My first few viewings, I started tearing up when the music started at the end of the Lake scene as Ennis started crying.  Then of course, when he found the shirts, and the ending.

But I was surprised to find that in later viewings, one of the most emotional moments for me was when Ennis fought the truck driver after running away from Alma at Thanksgiving.  That last shot of him enduring the kicks of the trucker brought home to me all the pain that Ennis suffered on a daily basis because of his love, his fear, and his self-loathing, and my heart just went out to him.
