If you watched it, what did you think about it?
I watched it. I thought they did a very good job of detailing Heath's life from childhood through the end of his life. It was very interesting to hear the various comments from his friends and colleagues. I liked it and I hope they air it again soon because my DVD recorder is broken. I was planning on buying a new one tonight but I never made it up to the store. :(

As I posted in HHH, I thought it was pretty good. I liked seeing all the pictures and video of Heath through the years, though it just kept making me sad. The comments of his friends and colleagues were great and gave a truer picture of who Heath was than you could get by reading dozens of interviews.
I just hate those damned pop-up ads that keep intruding on the program, though. ENOUGH, ALREADY! >:(
-
Yes, I know what you mean Meryl. Parts of it made me very sad too. I couldn't watch the part where they showed Heath being wheeled out on the stretcher. I turned my head and asked Alex to let me know once it was off the screen. :'( :'(
-
Same here.
I watched his life unfold. I didn't want to watch his death unfold. I didn't watch the end.
Sad and still unbelievable. :'(

I couldn't watch that bit either. I also found the part where the Aussie press turn on him and he became so upset, hard as well. I hate the whole tall poppy thing, very distasteful and spiteful.
I am going to watch it again tomorrow. I can hardly comprehend tat we are almost comming to te end of his photos.I guess ery soon there will be none we haven't seen and no new ones.
read somewhere that Michelle is allegedly going to put together a film, so Matilda will have some record of her wonderful father.For once I am hoping a rumour is true.

Thank you Fiona. I didn't realize they were reairing the program. I just checked the guide built into my tv, and it said the show will reair tomorrow (Sunday) July 13th at 2:00 pm Eastern on E!.
So if anyone didn't get to see it the other night, you have a second chance! :)
-
I watched it...
I was crying by the end, but I'm glad I watched it...
I couldn't tell if they had prepared a special already, and then had to add on the end
???
they had some sort of credits before the true end of the program, but maybe they always do it that way?

I hope we won't have to wait too long for it to be shown on Australian television. It will certainly have a big market here. I look forward to seeing it.

They spent a lot of time talking about his Australian roots and the early days of his career in Australia. That part was very interesting... and they talked with a good number of his Australian friends/ colleagues from the early days.
I posted a bit about this in HHH too... I was rather impressed by how they handled BBM. They showed most of the major affectionate scenes between Jack and Ennis, definitely no shying away from the content of BBM there. And, they even included a little clip of Annie Proulx complimenting Heath, which I thought was just great.
So, yes, this THS was really pretty well handled compared to some of the productions that are shown on E!

Thank you so very much for posting that, Jess. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it. :D
-
Thanks from me too.I saw it on te TV, but it was lovely to see it again.I can't hear enough about his beautiful smile.
I know it will sound stupid, but my younger son is so gorgeous, people always say the same about him.Even teachers say they just get sucked in by his smile.He radiates this wonderful aura around him, everyone wants to be with him and be his friend.
I sometimes think he is too blessed.Brains, beauty, personality plus and an incredible sporstman, which makes me worry.I know I am just being a silly mom, but I can't quite sahke it.
I think that is why I feel so much For the friends and family of Heath. My light would go out if anything happened to Matt.
-
Thanks Jess! I expected to see shots of him in home and away with good old Sally Flecther but none of that!

I finally got to see this last night (Thurs., 7/17/08). I hadn't realized my cable service carried E!, until I noticed the program was scheduled for last evening, and I checked the channel guide. ::)
Anyway, I found it not to be as sensationalized as I'd feared it would be. I hope I can see it again some time, as my father telephoned just as they got to the part about Brokeback Mountain. :-\ ::)
My overall reaction is that the program brought back my feelings of anger at such a waste of such a talent being lost to the world at such a young age. :(

I cried at the second half of the last you tube and all of the last. :'( :'( :'(
