At the end of the movie, I was weeping uncontrollably, and his partner put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Are you gonna be all right, sweetie?"
Lucky. What did I get in my 5 theatre viewings? Nosy theatre employees cleaning the damn floors while I'm trying to soak up "The Maker Makes."
His partner gave him a dirty look then looked at me and said that he thought it was a beautiful movie!
The 'dirty look' part sounds just like me... and then some. I get very argumental about this movie.
Sigh. They're onto me.
Hell, I wish they knew what I was talking about! My family members couldn't care any less; they just ignore my Brokeback love -- not to mention they truly underestimate it.
I miss them, too -- and I just turned off the DVD five minutes ago!
I am just glad to know I'm not alone. I always miss them! I wish I could be like Jeff Wrangler and I quote:
I sympathize, but for me, Ennis and Jack, like my late mother and my late boyfriend, are with me always in my heart. All I have to do is think of them and they are with me. And I'm not jokin'.
You see, I believe I carry Ennis and Jack in my heart seeing as how I love them like they're my children. But, you know what, sometimes knowing that is still not enough for me. I'm kind of insatiable; I want more Jack and Ennis!
It's cool that you guys are trying to raise open-minded and accepting kids. Okay, I've commented on this before but I'll briefly say it again. I go to high school and seeing Brokeback Mountain in school -- well, first off, I haven't seen one TV in my cheap-ass school that could do the beautiful visuals justice -- would be awkward because of all the damn homophobes who'd be freaking out and pissing me off throughout the entire, hypothetical viewing. And then the kids who wouldn't like it, then praise something that sucks (say, Laguna Beach, perhaps) would be on my Hit List, which is longer than my arm...
I'm hypocritical because when I hear about someone my age watching Brokeback Mountain, I think, "Oh, God, you don't deserve this movie" (unless I know them personally and approve).
If I had a child who was a homophobe, I think I'd beat the kid.
(*groan* Alright, I admit I'm kidding...)
