which scene made you cry ?
Penthesilea:
I, too have the trend to start crying the earlier in the movie the more I see it.
First viewing - no tears at all. Not in the cinema, not at home, not the next day. But three days later the tears came from one second to another when seeing a shirt hanging on a closet door. Second viewing frome the lake scene on till some time after the credits ended.
After a total of 5 viewings there are many scenes I cried in (not in every scene at every viewing):
Ennis in the alley, divorce scene, "Tell ya what...", confrontation at the lake, the flashback - omg, the flashback is a killer for me. Ennis in Jack's room, and the shirts (they hit me two times, in Jack's closet and in Ennis's closet).
Last time I saw it I felt a lump in my throat when Ennis and Jack rode down the mountain with the sheep.
Boy, that's odd. Especially because I ususally don't cry at movies - as long as not being pregnant. I think I could count the movies I cried on one hand.

Jeez. I never could have watched BBM while being pregnant. When pregnant, I'm so flooded with hormones I tend to cry at sad songs on the radio.

Katherine, you took the words right out of my mouth. And not for the first time. I want it sooo badly for Ennis and Jack to end different.

Becky had my list, I totally can't remember them all. But hopefully when I get my DVD (this week hopefully!!!) I'll be able to rewrite it.

The whole argument/confrontation does it to me...building to a teary crescendo when the flashback occurs.

**This thread rocks** :D :'( :'(
I can hardly handle watching the flashback scene. Thinking of it now makes me cry. The part of the score on the soundtrack that I know goes with the flashback even makes me all emotional. Ennis's last line "see you in the morning" is just so ominous. In the context of their first summer it was sweet and breezy, but since it's positioned as the last bit of dialogue that we hear between Ennis and Jack it takes on such a different meaning. Like a foreboding. Oh my god! They'll never see each other again. To me it sounds like Ennis saying "see you in the next life". That scene kills me because it shows how much wonderful potential they had and shows without doubt exactly how happy they made each other.
For a long time I had to turn the DVD off right after the motel scene. As soon as the cut to Alma sitting in the kitchen came I was done. I'm much better about watching the whole thing again lately. But, I often can't handle watching the post-divorce fiasco either.
I have to say... the amazing thing about BBM is that I love the way it makes me sad. I want it to make me tear up! It's the most wonderful bittersweetness I've ever experienced in a film. Period.
