Nice first post!

Welcome!

For me it wasn't a particular scene.. it was a general feeling in my gut after I watched it.

I think the scene that kills me every time is their last fight, and especially the flashback to the dozy embrace. The sound from the fire and the ever present wind; the two men holding each other and for once completely united.


Did you just recently see the movie for the first time?

Hello Buffymon
I watch this mover every night for the past 4 days. I call it my "wind-down" movie, as it helps me relax and fall to sleep, with dreams of Ennis and Jack in that beautiful wilderness. BBM is one of those movies, at least for me, that rings true to what love is, never easy, but damn, the rewards are so lovely! Great to meet you! (and yes im watching it now, Ennis is dancing with the waitress that wants to be his new girlfriend, and the "Melissa" is playing on the jukebox) 8)

The the postcard came back. I did not see it coming. And I was wrecked.

It's always nice to find a new Brokie, even after 5 f**ckin years.  Glad you found us.  I'm a New Yorker, too, by the way.

What scene made me a Brokie?  Lots of them, but I remember feeling a pang for Ennis when Jack told him they'd have to bring the sheep down early.  He'd been so happy, and now that was being taken away with no warning.  When he ducked into the alley with the dry heaves, that said volumes.  Jack's sad, resigned look as Ennis drove away from the lake for the last time.  Ennis looking so helpless as he gazed out of Jack's bedroom window, and of course his emotion at finding the shirts.  There are so many telling moments, and they all add up to one haunting, beautiful movie.  I doubt I'll ever see another to equal it.

Great to meet you Meryl, (by the way, i got a MEAN recipe for cherry cake for sure, had it a few weeks ago, so delicious!!) When Ennis was dry heaving in the alley, i felt so sorry for him, omg. This young man had experienced a love that was so powerful for him,coming from a home environment probe were there was no love, or very little. When Jack looks at Ennis driving away for the last time, (and we all know this is THE LAST TIME that he will see Ennis as he is murdered/accident later. I usually can not watch this scene, its simply too much. I think I love Jack, cause he very much like my personality.
