The 11th Commandment: "Thou Shalt Be a Brokie"

The first time I saw Brokeback Mountain was on Saturday, March 4, 2006 which was the day before the Oscars were aired. I saw it on a DVD at home by myself. I would have never thought or even considered that the movie would have the effect on me that it did. I had wanted to see it, but I truly believed it was just going to be a movie. I never expected the punch I received from it. I wanted to see it somehow before the Oscars which I did. I am still in disbelief that I actually heard the words "Crash" when they announced the best movie of the year. A few days later I went to the theatre by myself to see it on the big screen. The effect on me was the same as it has been everytime I have seen it since.

Question to our High Priestess and sentinel of the Cult-thread: is this already part of the Cult-thread? It should be!

You know, we do have a Ten Commandments (here) contributed by spottedreptile in the elder days when we resided at the Pierre Tremblay board. Maybe I'll add it to these. :)
The 10 commandments of Pierre Tremblay
Posted by spottedreptile Tuesday March 14, 2006
1. Thou shalt be strong of mind, and loving of heart.
2. Thou shalt not bait the troll, nor shalt thou tremble before it.
3. Thou shalt honor this board and all true believers who are contained therein.
4. Thou shalt be ever grateful to the goddess Annie Proulx and all her offerings.
5. Thou shalt not succumb to temptation, when some foul infidel dost defile her offerings.
6. Thou shalt not flee this haven for in doing so thou shalt betray thy honoured brethren who depend upon thy support.
7. Thou shalt be ever vigilant in defending this haven in all times good and bad, down to the smallest fibre of thy being, for this is a worthy place and
attractive to enemies as a pure light attracts those who live in the dark.
8. Thou shalt hit without mercy the Blessed Tools provided for thy use, e.g. the Ignore Button and the Report Abuse Button.
9. Thou shalt sing songs of praise and joy regarding Brokeback Mountain to clear thy mind of dark thoughts and hopelessness if enemies arise, for
arise they will.
10. Thou shalt remember that the infidel Troll dost draw strength from darkness and the weak capitulations of others, and therefore thou shalt pity
the Troll, as it does not have a life.
11. Thou shalt be a Brokie.

I saw it on Friday, January 6, 2nd feature on opening day. I took a 1/2 day off at work as I knew evening features and SaturdAY and SundAY features could possibly be a sellout and I didn't want to have to wait any longer.
I must have arrived at the theater an hour and half early and glad I did as a line had already formed. I remember talking to the guy in line in front of me who had driven 2 1/2 hours to see the film. The audience was very enthusiastic and really into it. The air definitely reeked of "premiere" not that I've ever been to a film's official premiere, but I know there must an air of excitement for such a thing.
After I left the theater, I though "Oh that was a good movie." Then I started thinking about more and more as it all sunk in.
ZK:
I hired the DVD and watched it in mid April 2007, I had to take the next day off work and rewatched it several times, I was a shambles. This time last year I would never have believed my life would be changed by a movie but it has set me on the path for the rest of my life
