Why are we like this?
Tristann:
Oi, this movie hit me hard. I'm still reeling. This is a movie that depicted real love like no other. It reminds me of the way I see love on so many levels. Someone once said, "who said that the great love of your life has to last?". How true. Hollywood tends to make us believe in the 'happily forever after', but no one made that rule. The love that Jack and Ennis share is in my mind the "great love" and even though they didn't get to spend their lives together, it doesn't detract from the idea that they were each others "great love". The movie does such a great job of portraying their love (even with all the questions one has) that I sometimes have to remind myself to stop worrying about Ennis and him being alone now. And when you have to remind yourself occasionaly that they were characters 'only' you realise what impact the movie has on your life.

Yes, right on Tristann, love comes in many forms to many couples and while it's different for each, it 's also the same in many ways too. Anyone who has loved, can understand others who have too. Anyone who has known love is lucky to have experienced the abiding joy, unforgetable bliss and the sorrow when, like all things in life, it comes to a physical end. But while it ends, it is not destroyed. It lives on within us, in memory, in personal history, in stories and poems, in paintings and sculpture, in music and much more, in our cells, in our genes: though all this, we give it to the next generation to continue the great adventure. Love is a mystery and a great adventure into the heart of humanity where we find both the destructive and creative forces within the Mind and what we do with those forces defines who we are.
Peace,
Rayn

Wow, Rayn! Really profound words and very well written. I'm thinking of making a couple of backgrounds for users of this forum and perhaps I can use your words on them if you don't mind? Let me know please. Again, thanks for the beautifull reply.

Neither would I. Nobody in real life knows how much it has affected me, how obsessed I am. My husband has an idea of it, because he knows how often I've seen it in theatre. But even he does not know the dimesion.

Glad this tread exist.
i guess why we are like this for so many different reason, but mostly becasue we can relate ourselve with one or two things in the movie, and added up by how divine the characters are born, and how the movie present their love stories.
the other movie i watch eagerly more than twice is harry Potter 1 and Titanic.
But with BBM, i stop counting.
Oops Bos coming, gotta go
see you around
