Mine was : "Hunh?". Well in fact "Hein?", which is the French equivalent, and pronounced roughly the same way too.

Haha, love that, Isabelle. "Hunh?" would translate into "Häh?" in German. Also pronounced roughly the same way. Didn't say that when I came home from seing BBM for the first time, though. I think it was something like: "Hmmm, that was one good movie!" Anyways, I knew this was not going to be a one shot thing.
:)

The second time I saw it there was one other person in the cinema.
She said "Well, what a sad movie."
I said "I think it's going to be a classic."
-
"So? you wanna go camping?"
But seriously. I was alone most of the time I saw it. :'(

I have only watched the film once with one other person and that was Sheyne and we didn't need to say anything. We just curled our bottom lips and blinked at each other through red eyes all Alice Faye like and picked up the gold fish and waited for Pierre Tremblay to roll along the credits and we left. Then we said in unison, "God I need a pee!"
-
I only went once with a friend, too. But it was her first time, and she just answered "yes" to my "Hunh?".
The other times I just giggled nervously through my tears at the total strangers around me who were giving me pitying smiles...

Ha ha!! That's right. We HAD to wait until we saw Pierre's name. For unashamed sentimentality (his board on IMDb was how we met). Goddamn softies we are...
For the record, Hippo loved the film too - not that he could see much in his baggie on the floor between Ray's feet. Oohhh but he's watched it plenty of times since from his tank! ;D
Actually the first time I saw it, I was with about 6 people, including my mum. I couldn't speak, I was sobbing unlike I have ever sobbed in a movie before in my LIFE. I just gestured for tissues.. :'(
-
First time I saw it, I was with my friend John. We were both so stunned by what we had just seen that to the best of my recollection, we just looked at each other and said, "Wow. ..."
-
Me too, alone when I saw it, mostly. I found that going with someone was intrusive.
This was MY movie.
-
"wanna get some breakfast?"
I didn't say anything until the next morning. I distinctly remember that not a word was uttered between my brother, my cousin and me that night after the movie was over. We just waved at each other as we got in our cars and left the theater.
-
Like some of you folks, I mostly saw it alone. Strangely enough, that was the best way I liked to see it...was like a personal experience for me. I went few times with some friends, was great, but nothing like watching it by myself...sitting through the credits, listening to Willie and Rufus break my heart all over again... :'(
There was an older gentleman who showed up on a few of my repeat viewings, he always sat in the same seat, had the same sad look on his face and sat there quietly when everyone was leaving the theatre at the end. I think we silently 'recognised' each other from all our previous repeat viewings. I could swear that he had a Jack and Ennis story of his own. I was interested in striking up a conversation with him one time, but he always looked tense and abit nervous, so I just let him be (didn't wanna freak him out..lol)...haven't forgotten that dude, and I don't even know him. :-\

"So? you wanna go camping?"
Ah, David, this is what I wish my woman friend had said to me at the end of our viewing together...

Haha. Ray, you and Sheyne might replace Elle and Henrypie as my favorite Chez Tremblay duo. You guys are a riot! (Just kidding, Ellepie, you two are still #1 but Rayne is a close second.)

Saw it alone in NYC. Drove home in silence. My husband asked me how it was and all I could mutter is "wow." Cried in bed that night and went again when I got home to Maryland.
-
There was a lot of silence after we saw it......I saw it with my mom and wife...
I think we were all pretty speechless and torn apart inside....there weren't many words spoken that night...
-
I didn't say anything for about 30 minutes. Then I said "wow, that was..."

January the 8th 2006- a day I will never forget.
This was the date that I went to see it and I was astonished that it was on nowhere else other than Cambridge and the die hard Jake fan that I am, I got the bus up there and managed to convince two friends to go with me. Our showing was a 6:15 and I was feeling nervous all day and didn't quite get why. Well before the viewing we all sat down and I shared that I didn't expect to like it cause what can I say, I was younger then and naive as ever. ::)
After getting caught up in the changing room of a shop we rushed to the tiny arts theatre on the corner at 6:20 and got the very last three seats in the whole of the cinema.
Whilst watching the film, I can honestly say that I went through all of these emotions:
:) ;) ;D :D >:( :( :o ??? ::) (at my friend for laughing too loud) 8) :P :-X :-\ :-* :laugh: :'( and hell for the fun of it: O0.
When I came out of the cinema I did not cry, which I found interesting but there was alot of silence, which is new to me casue I never shut up. When asked if I liked it I was sure that I did but I needed time to think it over and have it consolidated in my mind. So on the coach trip home I was sat in the corner mulling things over in my mind and humming the soundtrack as best as I could while my friend who loved it as soon as she saw it was trying to convince my other friend who didn't really like it how great it was. So I went home and a couple of hours later I just broke down and called my friend who loved it, through all the weeping I think she guessed it was me so she simply replied to the loud sobs, "You have been broken by Brokeback". We then got chatting and arranged to go again the next saturday. All through the week everytime I thought about it, which was alot of times, I kept saying "I really want to see it again!" So when Saturday came the flood gates opened and I just couldn't stop crying. :'( I have seen Brokeback 3 more times since that Saturday and I have taken: my sister, my dad and my mum to see it, my mum says Brokeback fever has sweeped this family, infact the only members of our "Family" that haven't seen it are the cats and that will all change by monday. And Yesterday, whilst talking to my neighbour she let slip that she really wants to see it, but she couldn't when it was on in theatres and he husband won't allow it in the house. Well that problem is solved cause I promised I would sneak round when he wasn't there and we would have a Brokeback night. O0
Anyway I am sorry if I have bored you with all of this, I think I am just in a rambling mood tonight, so I am sorry if I have bored you. :-*

Yes, I had to see Pierre's name before I'd move the first time, and the second time it came as a bit of a surprise - it sort of snapped me back to reality: "Oh yes, that's what makes this movie so specially OURS." I propose we call this the "Pierre-here effect".

NO, Becky, you have not bored us, not me anyway. It is great that your neighbour can get to see it thanks to you when her husband is out. Might give her the courage to change her life for the best concerning her husband ;)
I remember reading a thread started by a young woman, English I think she was, who said the film had inspired her to do what she had known all along to be what she needed, but felt she was stuck: she finally left her husband. That was HER change for the better.

"Rayne"? Took me a while, but then I remembered "TomKat", "Bennifer" and then I just killed myself laughing.. Love your work, Sparkle!!! ;D ;D ;D

Wordless exhalation from way down deep.

I went to see the movie with my husband. Both of us had to skip work to see the movie. I read the short story and spent a lot of time on IMDb before the movie, so I sort of knew what to expect. He did not. He just knew it’s a movie about two gay men in love. Normally we start to talk about the movie right away. That time, we did not talk about the movie at all until we sat in the car. I think both of us were still immersed in the enormous sadness we got from the movie. We sat for a short while, I sighed then said “A very good movie.” He replied “Yeah, very good.” Then we started to talk about the movie, whether Ennis is gay, whether the first tent scene was too sudden, which part of the movie he may not feel very comfortable with, whether homosexuality is nature or nurture, etc. all the way home and continued into the evening.

Yeah her husband is very homophobic and it is rubbing off on her little boy which I find really sad, that he will never know the love of another man as anything other than seeing it as homosexual love. I actually heard him use that phrase, "That is so gay" which I understand has a different meaning to school kids, but it is still using the term gay in a derogitory way. But I know she is happy with her husband and he seems a nice enough guy, but I think it is the way he has been bought up, he probably had very "traditional" parents. She has tried to convince him many times and has even used me and my dad as a porn in the cinvincing game by saying, "Brian has seen it and so has Becky, I mean how can you be afraid of seeing what a 15 year old girl has seen" but he still refuses. Honestly some people. ::)
