Yes, she thought it was a very well done movie.
However, I couldn't react to it fully with her there.
My mom has a fear for me, that I'll have a Matthew Sheppard style attack in my future. I had not read the short story before seeing the movie. I knew it was out there, but I refused to read it. Any time I've read a book, then seen the movie, I always leave feeling "the book was better".
So that I could enjoy the film fully, I swore not to read the book. As a result, I had no idea about the tire iron scene. When that scene happened, I bottled it up, because I knew if I reacted to that, it would freak out my mom.

I shudder when I think of your mum seeing that scene, Chucky.
Has she ever spoken about how she felt?
I have never asked my mum to watch Brokeback, because my mum was a replica of Alma, even down to a similar experience to Alma opening the door and seeing them. I guess that's why I nearly threw up when I saw that scene.

I know how mom feels.....she's told me about it before she saw Brokeback, and I had the gay pride tatttoo on my arm.
She worries about gay bashing. I told her I'm careful, and mindful of my surroundings.

Aw, Chuckie, that's so sad about your Mom's fears, but very thoughtful of you.
Your future holds much brighter things.
