Heya friends,
I like this idea of a women's board. I'm coming to BBM from a slightly different perspective. I'm a 30 year old gay woman. I identify with the specifically gay dillemmas (coming out issues, facing fears, being true to ones self, being fair to one's partner despite one's own fears, etc.) in the film on a deep, deep level. I also am just floored by how flat-out romantic this film is. And, it's a wonderful, wonderful relief and a joy to be see a gay romance have such an impact on so many people. I do understand what people say when they talk about bbm as having 'universal' appeal too. I love the tension between the film being specifically about a gay issues and being universally about love. All of these personal reactions are in addition to my deep appreciation for the film as a film (all the details, the thoughtfulness, the directing/cinematography, the writing, the acting, the amazing chemistry between Jake and Heath, etc.).
gotta go for now!
cheers!
Amanda
