I always get a little amused when I read what someone says they are feeling, when they have just watched BBM for the first time, and they dont know whats happening to them.
Amused, because they are feeling what I felt after watching it the first time, and i am sure most of us felt....and we wonder what is doing it, wonder if we are strange or something, cant fully understand it all....which causes us to seek out these message boards.
Kazza, if you think this will pass in a week or so, forget it, once it gets into your soul, it wont ever leave it, we are all testement to that....Brokeback sure got us good.
I often wonder why it affects us all the same way, and yet, for others there is not the same effect....are we the chosen ones....what makes it affect us and not others.....are there any husband and wife partners where it affected both of you the same, or is it just mainly the wife who is affected.....??
Well, I know I love having this fever, I've learned to control it and manage it, and enjoy it, and I wouldnt give up the feelings this movie has given me for anything...

Welcome!!!!
I sure you y'all get to see it on the big screen in the UK again.
The first half of the movie up in the Mountains is spectacular! Just breath taking on the wide screen!

Kazza, welcome aboard! I'm rather new here myself, but certainly not to BBM. I have been haunted by this beautiful movie for 7 months, and think about it every waking moment. It is a fetish, an obsession, and it seems I can't do anything about it. BBM will be with me forever, I'll never get over it. I'm a Brokie to my soul, and am so glad I found this forum! I am able to talk through my feelings with other Brokies. I saw BBM in the theatres 23 times and on DVD more times than I can count. I was lucky enough to attend a special screening of BBM in San Francisco at the Castro Theatre last month. Brokeback definitely got us good. Ennis and Jack are part of me now, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Hey! I am new to the forum. I really do not know why I am posting. I am married and have two kids and BBM has gotten me good. The movie touched me in places that I did not know existed. It really made me look at my life. I think about Ennis and Jack constantly and common everyday things make me think of the movie. When I first watched I felt like my heart was being ripped from my body. The next day, I could not think of anything else. It has made me love my husband in a differnt way. He is the love of my life and I can not imagine the pain Ennis and Jack felt. I do not think I could take it.
I have a really good friend that is gay. It has always broke my heart to think of him suffering for loving someone. It is so unfair. Now that I have seen this movie, it makes me sadder but at the same time happy that he is with the person he loves. I respect him alot more now.
I do not think I will ever be able to escape Brokeback and do not think I want to. I watch the movie everytime I can. The first couple of times it was heart wrenching. Now it is like catching up with two old friends. I guess I kind of think of them as family.
Just confused. But happy. BrokeBack got me good.

Hi momof2 (original name! why didn't i think of that? :))
One of the nicest thing about BBM is that when people talk about what it did to them, so often I want to jump in and say 'me too, me too!'.
you've come to the right place, it's nice being here.
welcome
