I'm getting chills just watching it...

I've had the DVD so some time but continued to view it at the theater. When I got my "offcial copy" okay, both of them, it was still exciting-like I never had the screener. I vacillate between not watching it everyday and further eroding the impact and indulging myself with the pleasure of seeing it whenever the heck I want.

I watched it last night and had the delayed emotional breakdown today but wondering if it's the movie or something else. I guess when I can't stand to hear
"The Maker Makes", it's the movie.

I love having the DVD(s) for the obvious reasons, but once I received it and it was in my home, I had this feeling like the movie was now "safe" with me.  Like finally, it's home where it belongs, and I will always take care of it and vice versa.  Like a FREAKING PET!!!

Exactly!  I have a friend who is really interested in watching it.  Both he and his wife want to sit down and experience the beauty that is BBM, but I told him I couldn't lend it out for a while.  Not because I'm watching it...I've only seen the last half once sine I got it, but because I just can't let go of it right now.  It needs my attantino and care and protection.

The reality of this is VERY disturbing to me for obvious reasons, but I'm still not lending out my DVD.

I agree with you guys. I love having the DVD on my computer and the scenes seem so vivid even though the screen is small. It's a laptop so I can get up really close. It's like having a perfect little jewel in a case. In contrast, the movie lacks something on my TV. It looks like anything else you'd see there.

Anyone else experiencing this?  Or are you still seeing it at the movie theater?  Or have you watched the DVD so many times that you're immune?  Do you ever get immune?

Here in S. Korea, I saw the movie first on DVD then on the big screen at a theater.  I've seen it 5 times on DVD, once at the theater, but while I can recite some lines from memory now, I never said the lines along with the movie while watching it.   I can tell you the impact has never changed though.  I thrill with them in their happiness on the Mt and cry over every sad scene, especially the ending when Ennis visits Jack's folks.  The emotional response to that isn't as hard hitting as the very first time, but it's still hits and always will, I'm sure.  The interesting thing is that the impact is much stronger for me and not so with my non-gay friends.  I guess it's needless to say why.
