Good afternoon everyone and happy new year from Bonnie Scotland! I’m thirty, live in Glasgow and married to a man who has Jack’s open heart and Ennis’ protective nature.
We saw our film in February 2007. Every day I kick myself for not seeing it on the big screen! Having read what feels like every forum, article and fiction on the internet to date, I was hungry for more and decided to join this community.
I have read the effect that it has had on everyone and I’m still trying to make sense of the effect that it has on me. Every time I think of it, I feel a lump in my throat. I have taken a long hard look at my life, and all seems well. I have asked the hard questions, yet my answers suffice. I still feel like I have been punched in the stomach and I guess the real issue is that I can’t identify the message that the film has for me.
So, here I am. I’ve pulled up a chair and am waiting on my cherry cake!
