The movie closed last Thursday here so no more viewings for me at the theatre. I also got in the mode of going alone because the 4-5 times I took someone their response wasn't compatible with what I was feeling. For awhile I didn't admit to how many times I had seen the movie (19) to 'outsiders', then I decided to come 'out' about it...I figure the worst is that folks will think I'm peculiar... so what? Courtney, you're right, though, that I should have looked up some other people in Nashville for at least one viewing. Too much Ennis-isolationism.
Hi there, Clarissa, and welcome...I know what you mean by anticipating the feeling of the next scene. Some places I do that include when Ennis collapses by the roadside before the wedding scene, Alma in bed turning off the light before the courtroom divorce scene, the last tent scene where Ennis is holding Jack that is just TOO fast before the morning confrontation scene. I see myself listing these and I believe Ang Lee is doing this to us intentionally. If you think about it, doesn't the wedding dialogue start before the wedding scene? and the judge's 'Custody of the two minor children...' begins when we're still in the dark bedroom? We are being manipulated by a master.
Hey there, Iris...I end my day with the soundtrack and start the next day with the soundtrack...it's a very good thing Mom likes Willie Nelson.
I do not want to quit it...I just hope it doesn't quit me somehow.
We need to keep this Ladies' Corner hopping....I'm a bit overwhelmed by the traffic in the CT area so I'm neglecting my usual haunts just trying to keep up over there....I think I prefer the slow lane.
