Great thread!
Delayed reaction too. I cry easily when watching movies but with BBM, not one tear, just such a knot in my throat I could hardly breathe. I had no idea what the movie was about, just saw the poster with beautiful mountains and handsome cowboys and got into the theater. Little did I know... When getting out I felt like I had been punched all over but was not sure what had really happened. I was not sure of what I had seen either, the movie is so much like real life where you could interpret everything in different ways (as we discovered with the endless discussions on the forum, lol)
Woke up the next morning on a soaked pillow and had to return again and again (and again) to try and convince myself that this was 'just a movie', not a documentary and that J&E were not real. Of course that did not work. Discovering the yahoo forum first, then Bettermost and DC (plus a French one), seeing that other people were going through the same madness of becoming dysfunctional and obsessed, being able to talk endlessly about each detail, was a lifesaver.
And 7 years later the friendships continue....
Thank you brokies
