I voted 'problematic relationship in my life now'. I wonder WHEN the effect of this film ends, or it might just be me being particularly slow: I haven't seen BBM for 3 weeks since they pulled it, and here we cannot get hold of the DVD till the end of April. I saw it 5 times, and am still thinking about it. It was such an earthquake in my life, that it is affecting me in one way after another, going deeper and deeper and deeper - never seeming to end. Today (yes, only today!), I started feeling that what this movie forces me to face up to, is that at the end of the day, if I am still with the same person I've been with for 7 years, it is because the Brokeback time we had together the first year still has a huge hold on me. But it comes down to this: I am like Jack in his final confrontation with Ennis by the lake. Under the spell of that dozy embrace that lasted a year, but feeling bitter now. Living with the memory of love.
On a lighter note, I have to ask myself: What would Jack do?
I always thought he was going to stay with Ennis anyhow. If I do, I'm afraid I may end up with a lover myself...
Phillip, I take this opportunity to thank you for this great place. I love it more than Chez Tremblay, when I almost quitted after the madness there lately!
