Free Fall - Freier Fall

By the way, I saw a clip of Heiter bis wolkig with English subs, it looks really good. And I read a review and found a 6 minute clip in German, which of course I couldn't understand, but it was fun watching Max make faces, and look adorable.

As for the thin line, and maybe an attraction between Hanno & Max, I have no opinion on that - could be, I suppose. I'm sure you see more articles about them than I do.
When Brokeback came out, there were whole websites dedicated to discussing the sexual preferences of the two stars, especially Jake. The paps (and fans) were ruthless and kept Jake in the news about it, always questioning it when Jake was out with a guy friend, and constantly saying he was "dating" friends he had known and hung out with for years. Of course it could be true, but the speculation about Jake was sometimes cruel and unnecessary (not from an actual interview, as you posted above), and I had no opinion about him, either.
I haven't seen any news about Hanno or Max, not even if they're dating women, let alone men. I think the German press is either ahead of the curve and don't care, or has better things to do.
I guess if someone has a toe or foot over the line, they'd be bi, and that's a whole other thing to deal with. Some people don't even think it's a valid sexual preference (not sure if that's the way to put it.) Maybe we can get some input from Vincent or others, if they stop by.

I'll get back to you on this one.

Yeahh, he is adorable in this movie. Can I sleep at your place tonight? My bed is broken.

I was in another thread here, "Other interpretations of Brokeback Mountain", and started to watch latest video. The opening chords of the soundtrack played, and I was immediately in tears. I had forgotten the power of the movie, the music, the mood it invokes. I could only watch for a minute, mostly because I can't stand to see anything other than the original.
I love Free Fall; the acting is extraordinary, the chemistry between the men is powerful, and the story is really great. I still want to watch it and talk about it and find things that I missed the first 50 times.
But Brokeback changed something in me, and no other movie has ever done that.

I recognize your feeling about BBM, for me that's free fall.
When you watch a movie for the first time, even when you miss a lot of details, it gets to you or it doesn't.
I think there always is a reason why a movie hits you.
I'm still thinking what my reason is. For sure I know it is about the central subject of the movie, marc's struggle apart from the fact that Kay is a man (maybe because some feelings are recognizable to me). And there's more but I'm thinking about it.
Any idea why BBM changed something for you?
