It reminds me of the cover of the either August or September 1981 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. It featured a photo of Jim Morrison and the headline: He's Hot, He's Sexy and He's Dead. He had been dead for years, but had become an industry. I think it must be the process of becoming a legend.

Then someone cracked a joke along the line of "One day I'll start choking up the moment the Focus Features logo is shown". I have the feeling this would be me now :-\.

Oh, I absolutely have done that. I remember back in them days when I was going to see it in the theater every chance I could, when the Focus Features and River Road thingies came on, I would feel a kind of "Ahhhhh....finally where I need to be." But then on subsequent viewings, it did turn into pre-sniffling, as it came on and I knew how it would go for the rest of the movie. As it did go...

So, then I thought, what am I waiting for? It's not in the cinema, but I have the dvd. So, I put in the dvd and watched it again, this afternoon. I had the afternoon off, so I was all by myself.
And now, I'm glad I did. To be honest, I was dreading it a bit. But it was ok. I really got into the story as soon as Ennis got off of that truck in Signal. I hadn't seen it since we've been to Alberta last summer, so it was special to see the places we'd visited. I felt peace and warmth at the Dozy Embrace scene, just like I did when I stood there in July.
I cried at scenes I didn't cry about before. Hearing Ennis say 'Well, I guess I'll see you around then, huh' and Jack say 'Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it' was very emotional. It was tough watching the Alma and Ennis scenes...
But it wasn't very different that watching it all the other times. It was certainly intens, but I felt an even greater sense of appreciation for what a true masterpiece this movie really is. Because, this movie and Heath's Ennis, that's 'how come me end up here'. I owe you Heath.

Hey Friend,
Thanks for this post. This was essentially my reaction to watching BBM the Friday following Heath's death too. The sameness of it was very comforting and I also got pulled right into the story (essentially as usual)... which was nice. My reactions and emotions about all the scenes were definitely heightened throughout the viewing, but in a good way really.
About BBM being screened in theatres and increased interest on imdb, etc. My feeling is that this is positive. The idea that folks are focusing attention on the substance of Heath's amazing work with these kinds of things, seems to be a good thing from my perspective at least. It seems to be a fitting and respectful tribute to him.

thanks Friend.
Yeah, through all the sadness, I guess comfort was the main feeling I got from watching the movie again. It made me feel better. :-*
