o.k. so, wendell's gonna kill me. i watched brokeback mountain. but, it was on the computer (before it froze) and then on the iPod for the remainder. (matt has connections with the golden globes and got an award preview copy).anyway... i wasn't prepared for how good it would be. or how many questions it'd answer yet so many more it'd propose.
wendell's watched it three times, i believe and was quite upset i chose not to see it while he was here.
i, like him, could watch it over and over.
i dare everyone to sit down and watch this movie. you'll not be the same.
this is what i believe: we all have a story. we all have our own brokeback mountain.
i won't give too much of the plot away (like monte!) quit reading here is you haven't seen it.
the romance isn't flashy. it happens, much like most cindarella stories. it appears to be true love. a love, possibly, deeper than family. a love that neither of the men know until it's practically too late.
they work together over the summer herding sheep when they realize that there's a connection. i think this is much like the boys-will-be-boys part in our teens that some grow out of while others don't.
then there's the time when they go their seperate ways yet yearn for the touch, the attention of the other.
then that happens.
then you want to run away. you are watching this and know it's a movie but you're mad. sad. you're pissed. you're just an emotional wreck. and it's a movie, for christ's sake!
we all have our place. our person. some are right in front of our noses. we know where they are. others have gone astray.
what do you do when that happens?
i want to see it again. i want everyone to see it. i want everyone to understand it. hell, i'd even like to live it.
wouldn't we all, though?

im sorry but everyone does not have the boys-will-be-boys part in their teens. Not trying to be disrespectful,but everybody does not play that game.
I cannot wait to see the movie. I wish it would come down south!
anon... your comment in itself is disrespectful, but that's alright.
not all boys do have them. more, not all boys admit they have them.
nevertheless, the movie is awesome.
and love is never a game, no matter the orientation of those involved.
who said anything about love? you take what you want to from what you read and hear dont you?
you said... "everybody does not play that game." i can only assume that you're referring to the prior sentence, which stated "everyone does not have the boys-will-be-boys..."
it's in black and white.
i said something about love. it's real. perhaps you should try it.
