I don’t even want to quit, BBM. That is true! I am still not at the place, however, when I can’t watch the film (at least in part) less than once a day.
Yeah, but do you ever get the feelin' that the omph factor is being lessened? Are you perhaps being de-sensitized to the heart-grabbing moments of this film? I hope not Diane!
For me, coming away from my first viewing, the scene that made my tummy flutter was the re-union kiss. hmmmm Yummy! I just loved that scen, my fav! Two days later I had the DVD, and watching it the second time was nice, I was rewarded by the much-anticipated reunion kiss, and it WAS lovely. I have since come to love several other scenes as well for their love / passion / angst:
FNIT
SNIT
Ennis' bleeding nose, when Jack mothers him
the motel scene
sendin' up a prayer a thanks
ah hell those are just some a them .... anyway I discovered this really cool feature on the remote of my DVD player, I call it the looping button, or the "A - B" button. It has worn grooves in parts of my DVD, (the above-mentioned scenes anyway).
The down side of all this is that I have felt myself become sort of numbed to the wonderous magical feeling that I used to get, so last week, (oh, about ten days ago) I suddenly went cold turkey. No more wathching Youtube either.
I don't know if I will ever be able to recapture the glow from the first viewings, but I DO NOT want to become immune to the love vibes in this film. Anyway for all the people who can watch the movie over and over, I'm glad. Good fur you!
