I haven't watched in more than a year. Maybe in more than a year and a half. I can't remember.
I had been thinking about watching it again. I was thinking about it on Tuesday, actually, while driving home...
At the time, I didn't realize that Heath was dead. :( :'(
I don't think I could watch it alone, though.

Through it all, it is still good to see you back here. :-*
I had planned to watch BBM this weekend. This was before the horrible news. I guess I won't do it now. I think it will be a while before I will be able to see it again.
And just in opposite to you, Mel, I will make sure to watch it alone, so I won't have to hold back whatever emotions will come up.
Artiste:
Like some or all, be assured that I am very sad of Heath's passing.
However, it saddens me to read that some will not see the BM movie or Annie's story... it seems nor study those.
To me, I will respect Heath since he had the guts to do Ennis, and therefore, talk more about brilliant role he did for us all here on Earth!! Since that is his humanity he wanted to league to us all, I feel!!
Heath could have refused the role, like most so-called men would have; so He prays us for being what-we-are: LOVE like he was for himself and for us all too!!
Hugs!!

What I had in mind particularly when I initially wrote that were some of the very emphatic differences of opinion over subjects such as the extent of Ennis's internalized homophobia, or when he came to understand that he really loved Jack, for example.
The idea of continuing to argue over subjects such as that, when the actor who so fully brought the character to life has died so tragically, seems irrelevant and just does not sit well with me.

I agree with you Jeff, the feeling of "arguing" just doesn't seem right.

I really don't believe it's "disrespectful" at all to continue to discuss Ennis and Jack. In fact, I think it's quite the opposite.
It seems to me that Heath would want to know that Brokeback/Ennis is a type-of vehicle for immortalizing him. I think artists always want their art to carry on.
I feel really strongly about this.
I actually think the notion of moving away from discussing Jack and Ennis is really depressing. Following Heath's death, it really is my feeling that we should continue to honor those characters and continue to recognize how important Heath's role was in producing this amazing work of art.

I couldn't agree with you more!
