I can't get it out of my head...

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2006)

I read an earlier thread that summed up how I have been since viewing BBM. I can't get it out of my mind. It's like some kind of pull. I feel like two of my friends went through what Ennis and Jack went through. Heath and Jake were phenomenal actors, portraying joy, disappointment, love, lust (Wow! Intense!), and heartbreak. Their facial expressions alone revealed the emotional track we were taken on throughout. I agree this story is a story of unfulfilled love, not just a homosexual encounter. It also deals with extramarital affairs. Something I haven't read yet, is the seemingly intuitive sense Alma Jr. had about her Dad's (Ennis') conflict. Never underestimate a daughter's understanding of her father's heart, much like a child of God has insight into the Heavenly Father's heart; the bond between father and daughter. I think we saw way into Ennis' anguish looking into Alma Jr's eyes. And what was up with the line, "Girls don't fall in love with fun." If we don't, we're probably falling in love with a guy who needs a lot of fixin' up and shouldn't hound him, but let him have his space. Ennis sure needed more of that, than an over-eager waitress in his life. Although her presence probably helped him fit into society better. I wanted Jack and Ennis to move to New York, where they could live a happy, gay life without the ending they had...anyone tell me how I can get BBM out of my head!?!?!?! I guess I'll go see it again! heehee
