I first watched Brokeback when I was thirteen; I'm now sixteen, and I swear not a day since then has gone by when I haven't thought about it at least once. I've seen it countless times, I've cried over the story so much - sometimes I've felt so affected it's like a physical pain in my chest. It speaks to me so powerfully, and I've never understood why. I guess I was pretty young when I first saw it; none of my friends appreciated its beauty, and neither did most of the adults around me. I'm a girl, and I'm also straight... but honestly, this film is the most beautiful, heart-breaking and raw story I've ever seen. It's perfect; perfect, painful love.
Why do I feel like this...?
