Hi all,
My name is Debbie and I am basically new on "Bettermost." I have not posted as of yet, but have read so many of your commentaries. I became obsessed with BBM about 6 months ago when I saw it on HBO. I initially saw this wonderful movie before the Academy Awards, but I did not get it! After seeing it on TV, I could not believe the impact this movie had on me. I thought I was going crazy because of the obssession that took control of my thoughts, and even my dreams. I am so glad that I found you guys because knowing that I am not alone is such a relief.
I am married and tried to get my husband to watch the movie, but as soon as the FNIT scene came on, he turned to another channel. All I can say is that that is his loss. I bought the DVD and have watched this movie over 50 times!!
I can't believe that I never get bored watching this movie. I even still look forward to it coming on cable even though I have the DVD.
I have never reacted to a movie like this ever, and I have seen many of the great movies in my lifetime. But this is the "greatest." I think the actors were fantastic and I was amazed when I discovered that Heath had an Australian accent. I still can't fathom how he was able to perfect the western accent. I was never a fan any of the actors that played in BBM until now. I want to find out as much as possible about the actors, as well as Ang Lee. Anyway, I will close now and end by saying thank-you for being here for me- another fellow "Brokie."
