Brokeback Mountain
I saw brokeback mountain on sunday and am now thuroughly depressed. Because it was such an amazing movie, I was affected the same way I was when I spent the weekend with Chase and Abby. Two couples that are so obviously in love but never have the words escaped their lips. As with my HMI friends, I was hoping the guys' relationship would persist and am now depressed because it didn't. I think I agree with blondie here in saying the most powerful line in the movie was "I wish I could quit you," although I think I've heard it somewhere before. If anyone agrees, I assumed they were both so agressive with each other because they were both homophobic and had to assert their manliness, which I thought was a nice touch. Good movie. Now everyone else can see how happy Chase and Abby were, and they weren't in fear of persecution.
Additional note again thanks to blondie: One of the great things about both these relationships, albeit one is fictional, was that although the word love wasn't present, it didn't matter because the actions that were there were so much more meaningful than sappy words would have been in their place.
It seems contrary to my personality to say that I believe in love, but I hope to one day find something so special that I can finally share the words and actions I crave so strongly with someone that shares them. That's all.
