I saw it about 12 times now. I, too, prefer to watch it when I'm alone in the house respectively late in the evening, when my whole familiy is sleeping.
Sometimes I feel like I would like to watch it every week, but I don't want to desensitize myself, I don't want to wear it out. So I restrain myself and see it circa every two or three weeks. After that time, I develop a need, an urge to see it again (talk about crazy
).
So far the feeling about the movie is far from wearing out. It still has the same impact on me when I see it. In fact, the last time I saw it, it was as "bad" as it was after my second viewing: I couldn't shrug the sadness off for a couple of days and I ran through the world like numb.
So I decided to wait a little longer this time until I will see it again. And the next time I will do what I sometimes do, but did not at my last vieweing: after the end of the credits I'll replay the first 15 minutes.
For me it helps: Jack is there again, both of them so young and sweet and full of life and everything in front of them.
Sometimes I try to focus on things I've read on the board, but mostly I fail. Or I discover new (at least to me) things/details I want to discuss on the board, but by the end of the movie, I forgot most of them.
I checked the last box, too. I think I can recite every single sentence
From Katherine:
for me watching it is like getting together with good friends
I know the feeling...
