Brokeback Mountain on German TV for the first time

Thanks for telling us about this Chrissi!  We'll be eagerly awaiting your review of how the dubbing goes, etc.  Are you going to save your copy of the TV guide as a souvenir?

I already know the dubbing from the times I've seen BBM in theatre. Overall it's ok, but with BBM every little lapse is one too much for me. What bugs me is that they left out many of the little sounds, of Ennis's huhs and hunhs and grunts, but also Lureen's whimper on the phone, and the kiss Jack plants behind Ennis's ear in the motel.
But they don't butcher the movie with the dubbing, and Heath's German voice is similar to his own.

Undecided yet.


Hope the weather will be ok on the 22nd. Yesterday evening I couldn't watch Pro Sieben. Something is wrong with our satellite dish. If it is cold and rains, there are two channels we can't see, and one of them is Pro Sieben. We have this technical glitch for years and years now, but only in winter.

Maybe this TV airing of BBM will generate a new bunch of Brokies!

BBM's premiere on German TV was yesterday and I'm here to report back.

I couldn't see it  . It was cold and it rained, so I didn't have any reception of the channel .

But I instructed Kerstin, my friend and fellow Brokie to watch out if they cut anything and told her to keep an eye especially on the tent scenes, the reunion and the credits at the end.
Nothing of the movie itself was cut, the tent scenes and reunion kiss were intact, as I expected it. The movie is rated 12 here (i.e. everybody from age 12 on can see it), so why should they cut anything?

But they completely cut the credits at the end (both songs), just like I thought they might. Instead of the credits, they squeezed in another commercial break .

I would have liked to see it on TV. Maybe I'll have more luck next time.

Sorry you weren't able to see it Bud.  But, thanks for the report!

Glad to hear no scene was cut.
