I can remember coming to BetterMost.net's forums with no idea of what to do or where to go to explore the depth of meaning that I found profound within the amazing film experience that we all have come to love that is Brokeback Mountain, but after some time perusing the many wonderful features that are available here, I am certain that newcomers will be able to jump right in to some of our many experiences here at BetterMost.net forums if they just had a little guidance.
First of all, I want to say to each and every one of you that has decided to or is considering registering that you are here for a purpose. You want to explore the emotional, psychological, and philosophical significance of this film. You want to understand why and how it affects your life the way it does and how you can use it to improve your life. You comprehend a depth of meaning that was not present in your life before. There is much here to discuss, to share, to experience, and most posters agree that there is some good which comes from this community. I would like to welcome all of you to participate.
If you have newly registered, perhaps you aren't sure where to go to post.
From the Front Desk area you can grab the attention of our administrator Phillip in the BetterMost News and Welcome Center, view some fascinating ideas and the playlists of Brokeback Mountain Radio, and participate in some fun (and educational) polls about this fantastic film. Feel free to introduce yourself and what you hope to get out of BetterMost forums in the Welcome Center.
In the boards under Brokeback Mountain - The Movie, The Message, and its Impact, posters can explore the media coverage of the film that seems to have gripped some part of global consciousness in the board marked Movie Resources, discuss how the film personally affected them in the Open Forum, share (or read) creative fanfiction and poetry in Brokeback Mountain Fan Fiction, chill with the Chez Tremblay community (a versatile lot of Brokies that originated in the IMDB forums - who are quite cool once you get to know them), or even play BBM themed games and trivia challenges.
The next section of boards is truly impactful. It invites you to Finish the Story in Your Own Life. While we here at the BetterMost forums enjoy discussing the film, its many attributes and its power in society and media, there is a greater truth that many of us who have seen the film are responding to. This film has the power to transform the individuals who experience it. They can add to their lives because of the film, allow its mysteries to become part of their existence, and use the film to explore the paths of light and shadow of inner being. Here we can question ourselves, "What should we do now?", post daily thoughts and experiences as we gradually change through inner experience, or explore the wisdom of self-acceptance, tolerance, and feminine empathy.
A realm of infinite possibilities awaits you, so please participate. Welcome to you all, and I look forward to seeing you on the boards.
