Beautiful new thread on TOB.
« on: April 07, 2006, 05:51:28 pm »
Actually put a tear in my eye.

Good old Brokeback: the power to change hearts and minds--just enough--one at a time.

Wow, I love it! That really touched me :'(. Thanks! :-*

Although they spelt Ennis wrong, but all is forgiven if they love the film. Also their grammar is not that great....The Grammarpuss strikes again! Why do I always have to look on the down side? Damn my stupid pesimistic(sp?) nature! ::)

Thanks for posting.  I can never hear enough from someone who "gets it", especially when their thoughts before the film might have leaned toward feeling otherwise.

I know some of you have visited because you have posted, but do take another look: this thread on TOB has only grown richer and better--in particular, do see this post by a christian straight male professor who has seen it nine times (and taken young straight athletes he "mentors"):

(Don't forget to look at some of the other later posts, especially a reply by the OP--seriously beautiful.)
