Oh, I still have the same life I had before I ever heard of the words "Brokeback Mountain."
Many of the expressions which Annie Proulx used in her short story, I had been using or had heard other people using them.
I do say that if a person has become so obsessed with a fiction story in movie form, where not even one historical fact that can be documented is mentioned, said person needs to see a licensed and certified mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker or some other person with a therapy title.
Yes, I do say the obsessed with Brokeback Mountain persons do have a psychological problem. Oh, I am not an expert on psychology; but, since I took so many psychology related courses in university for both of my degrees, I was state-certified to teach a high school course in the subject.
All I have done since I read the book and later saw the movie has been to give examples from the movie and/or the book in internet discussions of the type that I have been involved in since the summer of 1998 when I first got on the internet.
Almost every issue raised or life situation in the movie can be discussed in one or more of the 10 Yahoo Groups which I created and are currently active.
