Hi. I've been debating since yesterday whether or not to join this site. I happened to see a link to it in a post that quickly disappeared in the deluge on IMDB. Unfortunately, I can't tell you who it was who posted it. I have lurked around, and I have seen that the attitude toward IMDB may not exactly be the best here, but you all seem like a very nice bunch of people, so here I am.
You can call me Azaelia. I'm a 20 year old girl, and I'm from a middle-of-nowhere New England town. People seem to be in the trend of identifying their sexualities, so I'm straight. I'm a college sophomore, an acting major, and a big fan of movies (good ones, that is), like Brokeback Mountain. I hesitated at joining here because I never posted on the Brokeback Mountain IMDB board, or if I did, I only did so once or twice. I guess I was intimidated by what seemed to already be such a close-knit community, and also mostly people who were older than I.
I first saw Brokeback Mountian when I was 17, shortly after it hit theaters, with one of my closest girl friends. She had said she was going, and I decided to go along, just to see what it was all about. I wound up entranced by the movie. I'd never seen anything like it, and I think it's safe to say I never will again. I hadn't expected it to be so
beautiful, both in terms of images and in terms of emotions it evoked. It was, in a word, heartshattering. I cry fairly frequently when watching movies, but no movie has made me cry the way this one did. It means so much to me, but I don't know how to put a lot of it into words. One thing's for sure, though. It has a special place in my heart, and I'm NEVER going to forget it.
I've only seen it twice--it's a tall order of a movie, one that comes with a mood that lingers for a good couple weeks at the very least. *sigh* I wanted to watch it again, but I think I'm going to have to wait a bit before I'll be able to make it through the movie, not to mention, my college roommate scurried off with our apartment's DVD a couple nights ago (
), and I believe she left it at her friend's apartment, as I haven't seen it around since.
Anyway, I feel like I'm just rambling, and I'm also not quite sure about talking about myself...so that's me. Here I am, and if anyone wants to know anything else, just ask. Cheers!
