I went to my first viewing of Brokeback, on January 5th, of 2006. It will be six years next month. My grandaughter and I had agreed to wait until after the holidays to go and see it. She was in her first year of College at the time, and that was the most opportune time for us to go together. We went to see it on Jan 5th. We chose that one because as you may remember? His other movie Casanova was out at the same time more or less. I told her that it would be better to see this one first, because the other one would be more uplifting, afterwards. If we went to see the other one first then we would be in a grave funk for a long time afterward.. She agreed with the decision. She was fine afterward, but I never recovered. I cried for weeks on end. My family thought that I was losing my mind. I was totally obsessed. I think that it was the both the worst time of my life, and the best. I will never forget this awe inspiring movie. I was totally into the movie. I listened to the cd over and over. After taking two weeks to find it. I watched the movie over one hundred times after the release of the video. I knew it pretty much by heart. It will forever be a life altering moment in time for me.
