Nancy,  I looked for this link last weekend but it wasn't here yet.
It's finally here!
I went to see our boys AGAIN wednesday.  I decided to sneak away from
work early and go see it.  Was needing a fix.  I think that might have been
my 11 time.  I've lost count.  Don't care. 

This story has also brougt many, many emotions that were hidden in
my heart and soul to the surface.  I don't think I will ever be the same.
As you and I have previously discussed, this movie brought back
memories of past loves that didn't come to a happy conclusion, like
Jack and Ennis's.  Regrets and haunting wondering about the what if's.
I feel both men's pain so deeply.  Get mad at one one time I see it, the
other character the next viewing.  I just wanted them to ride away
into the sunset together.  But, that would have been an entirely
different movie, wouldn't it?   I still analyze ever darn scene to death!
I can't stop.  However, the tragic ending is a very good lesson in
itself. 

All any of us, regardless of age, sex, race or sexual orientation, want out
of life is that one great love to spend the rest of our lives with.
I haven't been that fortunate, and at 58, don't believe I will.
I'm going to be an Ennis, wondering around a badly furnished trailer
wishing I had done things different. 

I wanted our boy's to have that so bad.

Hi Karen,

Its funny, but I never get mad at them, and usually when somebody in a movie decides not to "go for it" because of some noble feelings, it really ticks me off.  Like SPIDERMAN, I was pissed off because he told her he didn't love her because they would never have had any kind of life with him being Spiderman...that made me sooo mad!  I think love is the most important thing in the world.  Ennis is so scared to take the chance...frankly I'd rather be dead than give up the kind of love he could have had with Jack.  Of course Jake being so gorgeous, and sweet, and endearing, who WOULDN'T fall in love with him.    he's young enough to be my grandson, but who cares, lol.  I can't believe I am so hooked on this movie.  I've seen it six times, and I'm like you, I try to analyze every little detail.  I play the sound track and remember each scene where they were played in the movie.  I've bought 10 postcards and plan to mail three each to Ang and Heath, and four to Jake, because he's my favorite! .  I sometimes wonder if Ennis doesn't blame himself for Jack's death at the hands of those Texas bigots?  Maybe if he and Jack had gone up to his folks place, they would have been okay.  If the DVD is to be released on April 4, I will be at WalMart at 11:30 pm on the 3rd, lol.  Yep Brokeback got us good, didn't it?
