I love you, Jack and Ennis

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2006)

THERE WAS NO HYPE IN France ABOUT THIS FILM. I cannot begin to express well enough how deeply moved I was when I saw BBM. I had read and been extremely moved by the short story, but MY GOD the film was SO powerful. I do not think I had ever been so heartbroken by any story before. I have cried a lot since seeing it, and between the 2 times I saw it. I am not ashamed of it either. To me, Jack and Ennis are real people, not fictional characters at all! If I could see Jake just now,I'd say Hey Jack! Go see Ennis immediately, let him know you are alive after all, I'm sure he's learned his lesson now and the 2 of you can at last be together for good! Of course, I probably feel this way because I could relate to both characters so well, even as a female. I have my own Brokeback Mountain, and visiting the place last summer after 15 years, where my love for another girl bloomed, and was reciprocated,just blew me away. I was lucky enough to be able to get in touch with her again last August, through a friend of a friend. We have now been in contact since. We live in different countries, but there's hope we might meet up next summer. I had broken up with her because the fact she had a boyfriend hurt too much,but never got over her. After seeing BBM I emailed her telling her about the film,and how I had loved her and SHE was my Brokeback memory. My heartfelt thanks and respect to all those involved in the making of this masterpiece, which I hope will help shatter homophobia!
