Not a gay movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

I don't think I've seen a movie that moved and haunted me so much since Shindler's List. I can't stop thinking (and crying) about it. If you're expecting a gay movie, you'll be disappointed. This is a movie about lies, the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we tell others and the lies we live. Lies destroy lives, as this film shows.
I went to see BBM expecting something really good - how can it not be with Annie Proulx, Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove is still my favorite) and Ang Lee? I've been married to the same man for forty years, so I don't understand the gay thing. I do understand love - love for one special person who you can always trust with every bit of your being, love for your children who come out of your body and grow to be something special. With all the hate and fear in this world, we need more movies like this.
So set your fears aside and go see this movie. sit there and just be. You'll be glad you did.
BTW isthvs - your review was incredibly beautiful, right on and I enjoyed reading it.
