HI, I'M VERY LATE TO THE BROKEBACK PHENOMENOM (I RECENTLY SAW IT ON HBO ONLY LAST MONTH OR SO)
THE MOVIE DEVASTED ME. I WAS NOT PREPARED. I AM A MARRIED TEACHER FROM NEW JERSEY. I THOUGHT THE EFFECT WAS BECAUSE I HAVE A GAY BROTHER. I ASKED ALL OF MY FRIENDS IF THEY HAD SEEN THE MOVIE. ALTHOUGH THEY HAD, I REALIZED I WAS ALONE WITH THIS IMPACT.
I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME CRYING. RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF TIME. I BOUGHT THE MOVIE (FIRST MOVIE I'VE EVER PURCHASED) AND WATCHED IT ALOT !!! ESPECIALLY THE REUNION AND OPENING SCENES. I'VE READ ALOT OF THE POSTS AND I AM TOUCHED AND CAN RELATE TO E-V-E-R-T-H-I-N-G. I DID A LOT OF READING (OF POSTS ) AND RELATING THIS WEEKEND. I THINK I AM A BIT BETTER. I FINALLY SHARED IT WITH MY HUSBAND. I HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO ANYONE IN MY DAILY LIFE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HECK I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH. ANY COMMENTS/CONNECTIONS I ASSUME WOULD HELP ME. THANKS
THE SHORT STORY BLEW ME AWAY...WAY AWAY....
