My long, rambling defense of Brokeback Mountain
serious crayons:
Thanks, Littlewing! :D
All this time, and we ain't found everything there is to find in this movie, I don't think.
Noviani:
Latjoreme,
if ther a lawsuit for me,for luring people to watch this movie (please note i'm in Indonesia, homosexuality is a keep-it-in-your-closet-don't-get-me-involved stuff here, though south Bali has better acceptance)
i would ask you to be my defender, as to why folks should watch the movie.
serious crayons:
Thanks, Noviani! What a nice compliment. I'm packing my suitcase. :D

"I swear by every oath that hell can muster, I swear I left you against my will. The law of God--the law that sends me now through darkness, bramble, rot and profound night--unyielding drove me; nor could I have dreamed that in my leaving I would hurt you so".

As Barb (I think) said earlier in this thread: these lines just slayed me.
10 months since I first saw BBM, and the heartbreak when I see the film/read the story/come across such posts here, has still not let up.
Annie MUST have known about Vigil; now I want to read it too!
How could I miss that post about Ennis/Aeneas? Thanks for posting this, and for bumping this thread. So glad I found it!
Sheriff Roland:
I have to bump this - I know I'll want ta read it again & the responses it brings out. Thanks Isabelle for having found it - you brought me to it, and I noticed kelda's reading it too.
But mostly thank you Katherine for your treatese in defense of BBM. I too have learned new details from your "rambling(s)", this, 11 months after my first and probably a 100 subsequent viewings.
