Exactly how I feel. It is played here, too and maybe I'll go and see it.
Tell us how it was for you.
{{{Heathens}}}
It was a very cathartic experience. I hadn't seen the entire movie in 1.5 years, and I really appreciated the middle part for what it shows: the slow disintegration of Jack and Ennis's lives. It's so different to watch the movie in the cinema than on your laptop or on TV, you are so much more drawn in.
I had tears welling up in my eyes a few times, a.o. at the "Anything Interesting up there in heaven?". But the tears really streamed at the moment at the very end, when Ennis closes the closet door and he's out of the frame, and all you see is those fields through the window.
There were about 10 people and they stayed all the way until the very end of the titles at the end. They were all very silent and I heard them sniffling all the way through the end.
Walked home listening to Nick Drake's Black Eyed Dog on my iPod and then silently singing along to Neil Young's Old Man.
You know, I was struck by something and that was Aguirre talking to Jack and Jack saying "I guess there's nothing I can do about it up here." and Aguirre answering while looking at Ennis up the mountain. "Not unless you can cure pneumonia." and I thought about the reports that Heath might have had walking pneumonia when he died.
