Title: The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
Post by: Sheriff Roland on May 05, 2006, 11:35:40 pm: Small part or not - this character added quite a lot to the sentiment that has transpired though our assorted experiences prompted by viewing this movie.
I happen to realy like Cassie - Do You?
The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
has finally seen the light of day

I LOVE Cassie's bubbly personality. I find her Soo much more appealing than LaShawn - too bad she expected too much from Ennis

Your turn

While it was not in a bar, I do remember some college gals wanting me to dance with them. In my undergraduate days in the 1960s, I only left the campus about once a month for financial reasons and the fact that I usually had an on-campus job on the weekends. Sometimes there were student mixers, code name for dances with live bands, on Saturday nights. I really did not know how to dance, but I could do the "Twist." And I had gals not only reach for my hand, but lead me to the dance floor in the student center.

I was active in the drama group, mostly in off-stage stuff, too. Once we had a cast and crew party and a coed about my height insisted that I dance with her. I think she had the hots for me. I wasn't turned on by her; but, it was fun doing slow close dancing doing a simulated "box-step."

The Movie's Cassie like to have a good time with people she liked.

Post by: newyearsday on May 06, 2006, 11:47:50 am: A lot of people don't like Cassie because of how she was so assertive in coming on to Ennis and how she stuck her (probably) smelly feet in his lap for him to rub, but to me Cassie is a really lovable character. I suppose the day to day things I love about her are when I think of situations I can apply the "drunks like you, demandin beer after beer, smokin', it gets tiresome" speech to. This is such a fitting thing to say about so many chores and burdens in life!

But what I love most about Cassie is her good natured spriit, her good heart. The way she smiles at Alma Jr after telling her, "you don't say much, but you get your point across," shows how much affection Cassie has for people in general, and how she really didn't hold onto any offense she may have taken at Alma Jr.'s comment. I love that about her. I wish I could be more like that. I also love how fun-loving and expressive she is. Even with the non-talkative-and-doesn't-want-to-dance Ennis, she makes the best of it and doesn't stop trying.

I love her hair too! Though I admit it's quite sad, and an especially poignant detail, the way her hair looks less and less full and less curled each time we see her. It shows how her spirit was progressively worn down over time as Ennis couldn't give her what she wanted. Such an amazing detail.

Thanks for starting this thread!

Post by: serious crayons on May 06, 2006, 01:00:48 pm: Women in the movie seem to express themselves through their hair. Even Alma's hair changes -- it's much more neatly coiffed -- after she marries Monroe.

But I'm confused. Didn't I write a tribute to Cassie somewhere just the other day? Perhaps on a poll about favorite or least favorite characters. Anyway, I like Cassie a lot. She's spirited, cute, cheery, confident, and goes right after what she wants. I don't fault her for anything (though personally I would have been a bit self-conscious about the feet).

Title: Re: The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
Post by: Brown Eyes on May 25, 2006, 08:00:09 pm: I love Cassie because she seems genuinely sweet and warm. I feel truly sorry for her. She certainly deserved better than the treatment she got from Ennis (as much as we love him... Cassie just never should have been dragged into the middle of that situation).
Title: Re: The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
Post by: serious crayons on May 25, 2006, 08:17:43 pm: I like Cassie so much that when I burst into tears during the pie scene it is almost as much for her as for Ennis.
Title: Re: The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
Post by: SFEnnisSF on June 02, 2006, 05:55:35 pm: I like the look on Cassie's face before she says "You don't say much, but you get your point across."
Title: Re: The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
Post by: serious crayons on June 03, 2006, 12:21:22 am: Having some experience myself with waiting on drunks demanding beer after beer, I love the way Cassie frankly but nonchalantly says, "Gets tiresome."

What is it, My Love? -- Dolly Parton

You hurt me, you use me, you lie
Youre heartless and hateful and cold
You dont care how you make me cry
You must have the last word
And be in control
What is it about you I love
Youre selfish and stubborn and proud
Youre arrogant, boastful and vain
Youre careless and thoughtless and loud
A flirt and a tease
And you cause me such pain
What is it about you I love
What is it, what is it my love

Chorus:

Theres something about you
That I seem to need
I have a hunger you know how to feed
And you satisfy me like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell

And I know you love me in your own crazy way
And I know you need me more than you can say
I may be a fool but Ill never give up
cause theres something about you I love
What is it, what is it my love

Chorus:

And theres something about me
That you seem to need
cause you have a hunger I know how to feed
And I satisfy you like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell

And I know in my heart that you want to be good
I understand that youre misunderstood
Youre insecure and defensively tough
Theres something about you my love
What is it, what is it my love
Theres something about you
That I seem to need
What is it, what is it my love

Post by: Cameron on April 20, 2007, 12:07:26 am: I never saw this thread before.

Of course I so feel for Cassie.

I guess mainly because there is so much more to her than there first appears to be.
Title: Re: The "I LOVE everything Cassie" thread
Post by: Front-Ranger on April 20, 2007, 12:40:41 am: Cassie, sweet Cassie... notice how the chorus first says, "I have a hunger you know how to feed" and then later it reverses, "You have a hunger I know how to feed."

And Dolly Parton sings it so well...listen to it on BBM Radio.

Wouldn't it be great if a new generation of young women could appear who would care for men and want them to be their true selves without laying the heavy chains of society's expectations on them? Could we and our daughters be such a generation? Women have always been the ones to effect major changes in society...look at The Feminine Mystique and women's liberation (one of many examples since we changed from a pure hunting/warmaking society).

Scenes from Brokeback Mountain set to Nickelback's Top 10 hit "Far Away". IMO, one of the best fan made vids.
