aidenfireI just watched Brokeback Mountain. dfskljdfkljkdjlfdfkjllfdjk. I can barely type, because my hands are shaking and shit. Sobbed all the way through the second half. ALL THE WAY. SOBBED. ldsafkljdfskjldfkjldflkjdfkljdfsjklasdfjkldsfkjlsdfjklasdfljka. I just finished it like five minutes ago and I'm all sdfjklfuiortio4tiewfijfsdkjfdsjksdfjklsdfaWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. God, it was so good, omg. Like, jklsdfkjldfjkldfs. No words. The scene with the shirts? And inside each other? the scene from my icon? I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE I WAS CRYING SO HARD. AHHH THE ANGST WOE I'm still all flaily and teary and crap. My heart is a little too full, so it keeps pushing tears out of my eyes to give it more room, I think. :((((((
Also, both Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were really, really good. jkdfslkdslkajsd. I totally bought it. And sometimes, with movies with actors I'm so familiar with, I don't think "Oh, that's Ennis and Jack" I think "Oh, that's Heath and Jake". Not with this one. It was Ennis and Jack all the way. Like EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER . in the whole movie was completely believable and stunningly acted.
And, for me--Heath Ledger has been my baby since A Knight's Tale. That was the first movie that I watched obsessively and the first movie star that I developed a full-blown crush on, to the point of spending hours searching and printing pictures of him. And it's such a thrill for me to see how much he's matured as an actor, and how good he is. Oh, Heath baby. So much love.
"I wish I knew how to quit you"
AHHHWOE!! :(((
*flails*
WAHHHH I'M REALLY FULL OF WOE!

Date: 2006-01-22 10:48 pm (UTC)I was pretty tired when I saw it, so I don't think that my brain processed everything properly, but it was soooooo sad, especially those scenes that you mentioned in particular. And you icon? Love it, and it's mega crazy full of woe.
*hands you a tissue* It'll be okay. ♥

Date: 2006-01-22 10:57 pm (UTC)also I'm totally pmsing. lol. mood swings and overly emotional, wot wot?.Also, I'd read the short story before hand, so I knew what was going to happen, how it was going to end, so whenever they were together, I was like Ennnnnnis! Make your move now, before it's too late! WAHHH! Kind of like how some R/S fics, no matter how happy the fic itself will be, will still hit me as sad, knowing what's going to happen. And, yeah. :(
Phew. What a ride, though. I was SO involved in everything that happened. My only issue was the tent!sex scene. Lube, much? Preperation? And damn they moved fast, from just talking to full on smexing up.

Date: 2006-01-22 11:08 pm (UTC)I haven't read the short story, but I know what you mean, about the R/S fics. R/S was actually my first OTP when I entered the fandom, and they were all so perpetually sad, even if they were happy. Just because you know that Sirius fell through the veil and I don't think that there's a shot in hell that he's coming back. Even the AU fics with a crack-ifide explanation for him being back don't help. :(
But yeah, back to the point, that movie is so good, but so sad and wonderfully angst and woe filled.

Date: 2006-01-22 11:25 pm (UTC)I was quite concerned that it would be an overly pretentious/cliche to the point of campy "romantic tragedy," and the movie did not play into the hands of my concern. It went its own direction, and said to hell with the rest.
My only issue was the tent!sex scene.
That scene... ok, I saw it with a group of about five or six people (all female) and well, we just did NOT see that coming. Jack pulled Ennis' hand around him, and I thought, "aww, they're going to subconsiously cuddle and wake up confused" but then they woke up and started punching each other and then full out humping. O_O WTF?
Then again, I do not have the mind of a gay man. Maybe there were "obvious" signals they had been sending to each other beforehand that we didn't pick up on.
Did that happen in the short story?

Date: 2006-01-23 06:35 pm (UTC)But I am reading, and everything sounds ok. More detailed responses...this evening, I hope. Argh, that really threw me out of my rhythm! Because at school, I'd answer emails and comments, and then at home I'd read flist and stuff. >|

Date: 2006-01-23 06:38 pm (UTC)No, I didn't see it coming either. And usually I'm more apt to see something coming when it's not than to not see something coming when it is, so I don't know what's up with that.
I have read the short story, but not reccently or carefully. I plan on reading it again when I get the chance. I think

Date: 2006-01-22 11:30 pm (UTC)I was mixed about how I felt about the movie. There were scenes that were PERFECT, but I felt like Jake and Heath lacked chemistry in a lot of their scenes together. Basically... both Jake and Anne BOTCHED their accents... and that really threw me out of the story a lot. I MEAN! It's just not that hard. I can say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Heath and Michelle's performances. GUH! They were amazing!
The shirt scene? PERFECT
The scene where Ennis holds Jack from behind? PERFECT
The scene where Alma confronts Ennis about the trips? PERFECT
The opening scene? PERFECT

Date: 2006-01-23 06:41 pm (UTC)The accent thing, not living in Texas myself, didn't bother me. I thought it sounded reasonably close. I imagine for you, though, that yeah, it must have really jarred you out of the mood. That's too bad. *wrinkles nose*
Yes. Yes. Yes. On all of them. God, there were so many scenes that just left me going "Perfect. Perfect. That couldn't have been done any other way."
LOVE TIMES A THOUSAND.
