A wonderful reminder of what brought us all together and why we are still here.

This article is beautiful.  Such praise and understanding for Heath's perfection as Ennis; also for the beautiful film that BBM is. 
It never does leave you.  That's why we will never quit BBM/Heath/Jake, et al!   Grin 
What a wonderful column.

  What a review!  I especially liked his appreciation of what he called "minimalist" acting, when Ennis went to Jack's parents to visit.

I can't stand it. I've watched this movie last night, alone, and I cannot get it out of my head. Everything hurts right now, i feel heartbroken and physically ill. I had to join this forum to reach out to people who might be suffering from what i now call "brokengitis". This movie literally broke me, I can't stop thinking about the characters, the places and the all that has happened. I never thought a movie could do this to me. I just want to find Innis and give him a big hug and tell him everything will be alright. But i can't, I am powerless.

Today, I couldn't concentrate at work, i spend hours googling brokeback mountain reviews, thoughts, and criticism. Just something so i can get more... anything, just something!

please tell me im not alone.

Hello BH, you are not alone.

Welcome to the Dave Cullen forum.

You sound like many of us when we first came here almost 5 years ago.  We all felt like we had been kicked in the stomach, and had a hard time focusing on anything.

Here is a link to a thread called "New Members, Introduce Yourselves" where you can tell us a little about yourself, if you choose.

http://www.davecullen.com/forum/index.php?topic=8797.0

Here is a thread where you can discuss the movie in general.

http://www.davecullen.com/forum/index.php?topic=28284.0

Here you can talk about specific scenes from the movie.

http://www.davecullen.com/forum/index.php?board=34.0

Oh, and just so you know, we do have a PM (private message) system here, but you have to post to the forum 5 times before you can use it.

Hope to see your posts all over here soon!

Chuck
