Hello everyone! It's nice to see so many friendly faces. ;D
I'm also from IMDb, but had spent the majority of my time playing in the sandbox and on other boards until the trolls >:( found something other than BBM to occupy their time. :laugh:

My job keeps me busy, so my posts may be few and far between, but I am thankful for this forum, and have many friends here from IMDb.
I have never had a film have such an effect on me, and doubt I ever will again... I watch at least part of the movie each night -- I almost can't fall asleep without Jack & Ennis' voices with me, which amazes even me still...

It brought devastation, but it also brought a sence of peace in me that I can not explain, something no other movie has done before. I also went out and bought the sound track, and it brought me a lot of peace and joy. I feel like I'm a late boomer because this movie is still having a strong grab on me. Anyone else still hooked by this movie and can not get away?

OMG! A kindred spirit! I have watched this film every single day (sometimes more than one time a day) ever since I got the DVD. It kills me. I am so completely addicted ... as are many others here at BetterMost. So, welcome. You'll love it!

JT,
First of all welcome to the bettermost board. I am a newbie myself over here having joined July 4th I believe. I did see the movie on the big screen twice in February but it wasn't until I bought the dvd that I watched it fifteen to twenty times or maybe more and I was able to analyze the movie and finally formulate some thoughts on each dramatic scene. I think it is an epic love story and it has made me analyze my own life. I have had many relationships primarily with women but also with men especially one man. I also don't think I will get married to satisfy anyone but myself. Brokeback Mountain has made me realize that it is better to stay single than to wreck other lives just because that it is what one's family and friends expect.

Well Said Bucky!! :D
The name Bucky makes me a little emotional by the way. But I love the name! I knew a guy named Bucky once. He was a great guy. I'm certain you are too.
Have I welcomed you to Bettermost yet?
If not, Welcome! I am happy you joined us! If I already did, I apologize. There are so many people joining this forum, I often forget who I said hey to and who I haven't.
But, in any event I am glad you are here! :)
Edited for spelling errors. :(

Diane,
Thanks for the warm welcome! It is wonderful to know that there are so many kindred spirits here. Being so new, I'm still figuring out how this place is set up, but I do think I'll love this place.
Bucky,
You said it well, friend! I totally agree. I think everyone will find something in this movie that reflects some situations in their own lives. I never been through a relationship before, men or women, in my life. But ruin another person's life kills me more than loneliness itself.
