Merci optom !
Your post is very interesting !!
Everyone attaches herself or himself to different things, like ones you described as examples !!
As for if one is living and the other past away, I still consider both ALIVE !! Somehow, in many ways !!
And I truly desire an BM II too with both !!
Au revoir,
hugs!
Yes,Artiste,you're very right¡ Also for me,somehow,both of them are alive;Jake in our world,Heath in another world or another plane where I'm sure we'll find him someday...And of course,bearing in mind that he will live forever in our minds and souls by means of his work and the love he has left here and the one he has taken with him.
As for the question,I remembered having fallen in love with Jack at the beginning of their stay on the mountain,when he's looking for Ennis when this has had the bear's incident.For Ennis,much later,and for the movie,immediately.I think,doubtless,that I'd keep on thinking about it with or without the forum; never before a movie had had such a great impact on me,not only as a masterpiece,but emotionally.And the forums I write on have served to "canalise" these emotions,making me feel better as I'm sharing them with a lot of persons more and knowing I'm not crazy...Well,yes,I'm crazy,of course; I'm crazy about BBM,Jack/Jake,Heath/Ennis,all the persons who have made it possible and for all the Brokies who share with me this madness...
