Haunting - Can't put my heart back together

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

Last time I felt this was about a movie (close to this) was American Beauty. Anyone agree.
First off - I need a BBM Support Group..."Hi my name is Chris and I have recently been crushed by BBM" " Hi, Chris!" Secondly, TWO words...Amazingly Devastating.
I am a mess 12 hours later! Beautifully directed, acted and written. It hit too close to home. Finally there is a mainstream movie about a tragic gay love affair. Unlike a Philadelphia or Boys Don't Cry, this movie is about two people in love - and every encounter is heartbreakingly unsatisfying as they must always go their separate ways. I knew the plot and how it would pan out, what I didn't know...is how much it would haunt me - I may have stayed away if I had.
My only beef - why does it have to take two straight men to show the world that gays love like everyone else...it kind of pisses me off in a way - like - oh yeah - be straight - play gay - and get an Oscar...wow, is that how tragic the world views us? Lastly, Beware - see this at your own risk - you may get broken yourself.
PS - I was only one of like 5 gay guys in a sold out theater - shows that the movie's silver lining is to be thankful you are a gay American in 2005 and not 1965.
