Wow !!!!
Thankyou so much for doing that.What an amazing insight into so many elements.Reading through it all, now makes it seem even more that t was a screenplay that just had to be written and filmed.
The number of years and obstacles that had to be overcome,I am astonished that Ossana and Mc Murty didn't just give up.It seems it was almost destined to be.
IT is fascinating to read that they thought all types of people could take something from it.Ossanas' reaction on 1st reading the S.S was similar to mine,lots of what could have been.and missed opportunities.
This is a real gem, which I will save and put on back up.
A big thankyou again.I can imagine this was a lot of hard work for you.
I think it also helped me to understand more, some of the ways, that some Americans minds may work. Back in England years ago, and I mean about 15, we had an openly gay couple in a prime time soap opera.In fact there were 2 one male couple in Eastenders, and female in Brookside.So it did not seem such a big deal, to me.Having read some of the things that originally it was thought Americans just would not stomach, gave me an insight into some of the people in my host country.
Yet again BBM continues to educate and enrich my life.Maybe it did not get an Oscar, because it was too good.After all how many remember the past 10 years best film Oscars,I could not name 5.Yet how many will still remember BBM in 20 years.I certainly will andwill still be reading the S.S and watching the DVD and probably still crying.
