HUH?? 
Wishful thinking? Who said ANYTHING about wishful thinking Artiste? I really don't know what we can do about it, except to send BRAVO our emails expressing our displeasure. That's about it really. Isn't it?
Just done that. Managed to keep the Anglo Saxon to a minimum, which considering I am blazing about it, was not easy.
I told a friend about BBM and she said she had it on her list of things to watch.I was a bit mean and did not offer her my copy to see.I have since got a spare.She rang me this am to ask why I had made such a fuss about it !!!!
She is a good example of how distorted the Bravo version was. She told me she had caught it by chance the other night and after my rave review watched it. She did not get it all. Where was the love
?? As I suspected she thought the alley scene was Ennis disgusted with himself.Jack she just thought was just after sex.
I am posting this not because I am trying to say I was right, I would far rather have been wrong.The woman in question is intelligent and thoughtful and has at times pointed out some painful truths to me.I respect and value her opinion, which is usually very insightful.TS2 being hacked to death matters.I think the problem is that pretty well all of us here, are open minded and either gay or very sympathetic to the gay population and other persecuted sectors.Joe public is often not.So it was really important that BBM was shown uncut, so the true desperation and effect of prejudice, could be seen with all its tragic consequences.
It would be like showing Romeo and Juliet and leaving out the dispute between the Montagues and Capulets. Their desperate love would a)not have made any sense b) been tragic.
I could go on about all the other distorted perceptions she got.I will not, instead I drove round to her house with one of my copies of BBM and said watch it on a computer with headphones so you can really be intimate with it.
I promise I will post if the real version affects her differently.
