I went shopping before I went to the theatre and bought a whole box of tissues just in case. Hell, I needed all of them! When the credits started rolling I just felt like I had the wind knocked out of me, I was so overwhelmed. I absolutely adored the scene of Heath holding those two shirts to his chest, it was heartbreaking and I bawled my eyes out. I'm definitely going to see it again, I might be able to write something proper then. xdewix what a great statement ;D I agree with you totally. Your explination of "the wind being knocked out of you" I had the same experience the first time I saw it and still have it after 6 times. It makes my skin goose bumpy even thinking about how beautifully Ang captured this story and the pain in both Jack and Ennis. I will say this again NO other actors could have made me feel what I feel when I watch the movie, and even now when I am discussing the film I feel the exact same way. after seeing the movie for the first time, I was just so shocked and overwhelmed and I simply burst into tears the very second the movie ended. I mean, every single scene after the 'I wish I knew how to quit you' part was just so...uneasy for me to watch. I remember having this feeling of sickness in my stomach, I felt my heart ache but I just couldn't bring myself to look away- my eyes were completelly fixiated on the screen. Those last 15 minutes of the movie were just so depressing and painful and by that time, I was sure I wouldn't cry because I already knew the story and how it's about to end ( although before seeing the movie, I thought for sure I was gonna cry since I'm a very emotional person and usually cry when I see a movie that tocuhes me in any way ). and then that final scene came, that last line and I just broke insinde, I couldn't stand it anymore. and I thought for sure that crying was gonna help, that I'm going to feel relief, but that didn't happen. I continued sitting in my seat and weeping histerically on my friend's shoulder and she was like: 'there, there waterfall' ( such a sweet girl ). then I came home and started doing everything automatically. okay, so first I cried all over my mom and she was like: 'that sad huh?' and then I just, I dunno, I started getting ready for bed ( since the movie started at 10 p.m.- the pre-premiere ), I felt like a robot, completelly lacking any emotion whatsoever and then when I got into my bed, I just started weeping again. I couldn't help myself. then when I saw the movie a second time, the same thing happened. only this time, I started crying when the image of jack's bloody face came up. the third time was numbing still, but I felt better and I could bring myself to act normally ( and not like some depressed, love sick puppy ) BUT then I saw it a fourth time, two weeks later. and alas, I experienced relief. I went to the movies alone, it was 2 p.m., there were only 7 other people in the theater with me. It was such a beautiful experience, the first time in my life that I went to see a movie by myself ( the second time was two weeks later, when I went to see crash which I LOVED! ). and yeah, I did cry again, but I wasn't weeping this time....I just shade a few tears and continued to sit in my seat 'till the lights went on. and when they finally did I said 'what a fucking good movie this is' out loud. the thing is, before seeing it for the first time, and since I've been waiting for this movie for like forever, I was sure that I was gonna enjoy every second of it, cry in the end and then go out of the theater with a smile on my face thinking 'what a teriffic movie this was'- but the exact opposite happened. I could neither bring myself to say that it was good nor could I bring myself to feel HAPPY for seeing it- I was too numb, to emotionless, to depressed...the feeling of unease was haunting me for weeks. and that 4th viewing was really relieving. I could finally bring myself to fully enjoy every second of the movie ( not that I didn't enjoy it the first three times ), including those last scenes. hm, that sounds pretty machohistic, doesn't it? *lol* and the 5th time was....well yeah, I'm over my depression now, so it was highly enjoyable

Oh Koka It is so nice to know that there are other ppl out there that feel the same way I do I totally know how you felt, I felt the exact same way. I mean it stayed with me for days after I had even seen the movie. And then there was something MAKING me want to see it all over again. On one weekend I went like 3 times But each time I would leave the theatre feeling hollow, empty, sad, and lonely My hubby is like "why are you doing this to yourself?" I had no idea why, I just loved watching it and the message that it sent. I also have to say that each time I did see it the theatre was PACKED, like there wasn't an empty seat around

jakesdream, I know exactly what you mean. after seein it the first two times, my mom was like: 'you know what dear, I don't think it's such a good idea for you to see this movie again. look at what it's doing to you. you're torturing yourself'....and because I didn't wanna argue with her, and knowing my dear mom only has my best interest at heart of course, I just nodded- and went to see it again another two times with the excuse of seeing, I dunno, Proof, Pride&Prejudice etc. OMG, I'm such a liar ( pants on fire ). but when I went to see it the 5th time, she went with me ( she thought it was my third...ah, ignorance is bliss ). oh yeah, and the theater was packed every time in my case too EXCEPT for that bloody sunday I went to see it alone at 2 p.m. you have NO IDEA what a beautiful experience it was seeing my fav movie in an empty theater, in such an intimate atmosphere. you know, since I never imagined brokeback being such a hit, I kinda always imagined myself going to see it in an empty movie theater and later on someone asking me what my fav movie was and me saying:'ah it's this little independent project, you've probably never heard of it'....but that was like, two years ago. and now when I go and see it, and when I realise how many people have come to see it, I can't help but think: 'are these people able to really get the movie?'

I just saw it for the 6th time. I went with a very good friend, and she loved it. I dunno why, but I thought the movie would be boring to her. guess I was wrong- it's probably the first time I'm actually HAPPY for being wrong

Yesterday I went to see the movie for the second time. My parents watched it also and they were all silent whehehe! Only some girls were laughing during the first sex scene oh oh ... I got so used to the idea of Jack & Ennis being a couple that is was even harder for me to face the end of the movie. It was all so sudden because the movie seemed to keep going. Jack's father was hundred times more eerie than before... I shiver thinking of his eyes. The first time was like a pink cloud was floating in front of the screen to make it look all so nice... It was like I came out of denial and somebody put me inside those scenes. I also got a bleeding nose in bed like the first time I saw the movie :s Really strange. I didn't even dream like normally. It was like a thousand pics of Jack and Ennis pushing my eyes. This is the only sad story which makes me feel like "Oh no, I do feel as sad as Ennis. Why can't I be him!"

Okay! What took me so long to find this thread Freezzze, thank you so much for speaking of seeing the film another time! It is incredible how powerfully it can hit us over and over again. (Young girls ...yes I am probably "one too" but would never laugh at such love!) You would imagine the effect would dull after a time seeing it, or 10... but it never does. Jack's father was a severely creepy man to me! His eyes seem to pierce and he knows just the punch words to say (it seems) to make Ennis feel so horrible. But both times your nose began to bleed?

I saw the movie for the 7th time on wednesday. I went to the movies after school ( last period was at 2 p.m. ), the movie began at 2:50 p.m., I ran late for like a minute or something so the only thing I missed was Ennis getting out of the truck. There were 8 other people in the theater with me. I was in the middle of the last row, totally by myself. man how that felt good. I dunno, this movie NEVER seems to bore me. I could just watch it over and over and over again and I NEVER tend to get bored although I probably know the movie by heart. like, every single line. this really is my favourite movie ever.

'cause I dunno, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy seeing it with my friends but this one is kind of 'MY MOVIE' and they knew that....and I knew it was going to be only half as special to them as it was/is to me, you know? so the best times were definitelly when I saw the movie by myself. those were totally special and intimate experiences/moments for me. but seeing it with you guys would be quite awesome I believe. because we all 'get' the movie in 'that special way' and we would all totally get into it and I dunno, it would be the perfect experience or something I guess. too bad we'll never find out

Then we could all have the scenes already fresh in our minds with all our thoughts to discuss. =] I know I would have a lot to say if I could watch it from beginning to end without disruptions.

I'm new and just want to say how much I adore this film. I have never cried in the cinema before, not once. I was crying so badly (as was my friend lol) at the end of this film, we couldn't leave the cinema for about 5-10 mintues. We were just sat there crying. We actually looked quite ridiculous lol. It didn't really hit one of my other friends until he got home. He said he got home, and just got all overcome with sadness. It's just so beautiful!
