which scene made you cry ?
Amber:
The tears definitely start for me at the dozy embrace flashback scene. Can't make it through that yet without getting teary eyed. It gets progressively worse as Ennis talks to Lureen and how he pauses afterwards with the telephone receiver on his mouth. The tears then proceed into crocdile tears as Ennis is buttoning that shirt. I can't stand it!

The first that struck a watershed of tears is the second tent scene, Ennis finally giving into to his longing and the loneliness of years melting away in Jack's embrace. That moves me. I don't know why except that I know how that feels.

Rayn, your whole post is wonderful, but these lines moved me most.
I watched my BBM dvd tonight. This must have been my 11th or 12th viewing in all - I have stopped counting - but as I hadn't watched in weeks, I found that I was as deeply hit as on my second viewing in the theater. Yes, second, not first.
On my first viewing, I had the book on my mind too much. I WAS hit in a major way especially 20 minutes after I left the theater, and then for days on end, but thought: " I must go back and take another good look at this movie!". And a week later, the second viewing just floored me.
Like tonight. And yet I have come a long way in my personal life since that first and second viewing almost 6 months ago. I now know why this film hit me so deeply, and how I can "finish the story" in real life...
But still I started crying tonight come tent scene2, and never stopped till the end.

One of the saddest is, but not often mentioned is when Jack says "Time to get going cowboy". The end of their time on Brokeback.

Always the flashback scene. It did the first time I seen it and still does.

Ennis listens to a homophobic joke on the radio? "You're not gonna get this from your Caddie?" What are these? Explain please!
I agree with atz when she said it's, in a way, kind of nice to cry in BBM. I've cried literally 1000s of tears for this movie, most of the time hysterically, but in a way, it is a nice outlet for my emotions.
I cried in the second tent scene. It's sooo beautiful and touching.
I was upset when they left Brokeback and Ennis cried in the alley, the poor thing.
I cried for Alma when Ennis and Jack reunited and she discovered their secret.
I cried hard during the campfire scene halfway through when Ennis talks about Earl's death and after they realize their relationship can never amount to anything, Jack reaches over and tenderly brushes Ennis' face... That was so sweet.
The post-divorce scene is depressing as is when Ennis gets beaten up outside the bar and then you see them silently riding horses together. Those last two scenes really kick my ass because I really start to sense time passing by in their lives and the better days in 1963 are, at that point, a sweet memory... (Cries.)
Then I got all choked up during the "Sometimes I miss you so much..." scene and again and again, I've lost it during the lakeside confrontation. That scene kills me. The flashback is equally wrenching. I sniffle through the Cassie scene in the bus station but it has become even more devastating to me now, considering that in this scene, Ennis realizes he's in love with Jack.
Phone call. Oh, God, this scene is powerful and upsetting. "He said it was his favorite place..." -- sorry if that's paraphrased incorrectly -- is a gut-wrenching and haunting line.
The entire Lightening Flat scene is devastatingly powerful and I bawl through all these scenes, the final scene in Ennis' trailer, all the way through the credits, and the last time I watched this movie, a couple times over the following days...
Seriously, you'd think I was conscious during an amputation -- that's how hysterically I react to the heartbreaking scenes in this movie.
