Hi Stonash, Welcome to this forum! I was in a similar situation to you earlier this year, i found to brokeback late, and after seeing the film on TV (my second viewing) I was left with feelings that i had never gotten from any other movie. I was quite overwhelmed by it's effect on me and could not get these characters and their tragic situation out of my head. I too came to the internet (as i usually do!) to gather more info on all things brokeback, i just wanted to talk to other people who felt the same way, i did. I found that when i spoke to my friends and work colleagues about brokeback, they just didn't have the same level of enthusiasm i had, and all they had to offer was the most basic response..."Oh, is that the gay cowboy one"........exasperating for me!!! Anyway, welcome again, and this is the place where you don't have to feel pathetic about your feelings for this movie! Enjoy the threads, i have spent many hours reading through them!!

You Don't Know Nothin About It!

Hello,

I am new to the forum. My name is Kim and I live in Austin, TX. I am a straight female. I'm a licensed massage therapist and also do volunteer work with the local ACLU.
I LOVE animals and I am owned my my 18 pound cat named "Henrietta".

I grew up on a farm in south Texas. The nearest city was 80 miles away. (San Antonio). There were 34 people in my h.s. graduating class in 1987. My family mainly raised pigs but we also had a "cow and calf operation". We had 7 dogs and and average of 20 cats at any given time. We learned to swim in the many rivers and lakes in the area. And there was a cliff just like in the movie that we used to jump off of into the water.   My mother died when I was a teenager and my sister had a hand in raising me. We lived in poverty but I NEVER knew we were poor. I can really relate to Ennis. It's kind of creepy. As a child I loved "living on the ranch" but by the time I was in H.S. I was counting the days to get to civilization. I went to college in Dallas for three years and then moved to Austin and have lived here ever since.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed to say this but when the movie first came out I did not see it. I thought "Gross! Two men kissing. I can't handle it. Ick!" It's not like I protested it. I just thought to myself "Ick" and never gave it another thought.

The first time I saw it was two weeks ago on HBO. Yes. I first saw BBM in January 2012. It was late. I could not sleep. Nothing else was own.  As I was flipping through the channels I saw the FNIT scene. Wow! It got my attention.  Couldn't stop watching. It's the best movie ever made. When I saw the shirt scene at the end I was crying so hard I could not breathe and had an anxiety attack and I started vomiting. (TMI Sorry).

The next morning I immediately started googleing everything BBM. I did not even know Heath had died. I started crying all over again. I went to Wal-Mart and bought the DVD and have been watching it all week. I can't stop analyzing every scene. I have been reading everything I can about the SS and movie. Okay. I'm 42 yrs old. Very level headed. Very stable.   I have NEVER been affected by a movie like this. I kind of feel like I am going crazy because I can't get BBM out of my head. I've never subscribed to a forum like this.  I'm glad I found it.

wow! welcome Kim, thanks for the info, we dont mind whenever you first saw BBM the main thing is you've discovered it and you found us, we are a very friendly bunch (if i say so myself) im Marz and I am from south east england, I dont think any of us have been as deeply affected by a film as we have with brokeback, and all sorts of people from all different walks of life love the film, I am a 25 year old straight female and it affected me lot and still does to this day
again welcome!
