Watched Brokeback For 1st time..had weird effect.

He got rabies 'cos he saved them from a bear, and then the 14 year old has to go out and shoot him..... :cry: :cry:

I was about 9 yrs when I first saw it, spent the next three days attached to my dog. :o
 
I cry at everything...I cried buckets at Broke Back..I cried when Pete won..and I wasnt even watching..I just got the news via a text message..

I've even been known to cry at the adverts :o

I think its good for you...it makes me less weepy when it comes to real life upsets ;) :D
 
I loved Brokeback. Oddly I didn't cry while wayching it, but I just started on the way home, I could hardly see where I was going and was trying to hide my face :o Couldn't get it off my mind for days after, a real piece of art.

But, um, why is this thread on the Big Brother forum?
 
Hey I cried at Brokeback too....great film and I understood every word!

Boyfriend liked it too. Said it was sad. Bit of a change from his usual diet of Sci-fi & horror (though he is a bit of a closet romantic I reckon!!)

Have never cried at BB though I've sometimes been swept away by the excitement and emotion at the final. All those fireworks.

However it's more often relief when the HM I dislike most hasn't won - forgetting the horror of the Cameron win of course.
 
believe it or not i cried at the end of nikki's best bits when davina FINALLY manages to yank her out and down the stairs, everyone just went mental. still gives me goosebumps

and i cried when pete won too. naturally :rolleyes: :p
 
I bawled my eyes out after seeing Brokeback Mountain the first time. There were a few tears in the cinema but my friend & I came back to my house & we both just sat in silence feeling..the ebst way I can describe it is numb.

I don't know why it affected me so much.

Have seen it a few times since & it still makes me cry :(
 
I loved Brokeback. I don't really cry at films or television. Doesn't mean I don't find things sad, just that I don't cry at them. (Saying that though, the only reason I didn't cry during Brokeback was that I'd already read the story.)

(I did once cry during an episode of Kenan and Kel. I think it was more to do with the fact that I was watching Kenan and Kel than the actual content of the episode.)
 
That'll have been the one where Keenan moved to Pumice, Montana ... that was a bit sad

... having a 10 year old son, I know about these things ;)
 
I saw Brokeback twice in the cinema and really wanted to cry, but didn't want to cry in public. Now that have it on DVD, I watch it in the hope I finally get to cry at it, but I never am able to!

I love it, though. When I first saw it I didn't think it would affect me so much, but my friend and I were so depressed afterward!
 
I cry at films loaRAB, and Brokeback properly got to me more than most, I would def recommend watching it to anyone who hasn't.

And rosemary, I am intrigued now, please let me know what adverts have had you in tears? :)
 
I cried when watching "Terms of Endernment" and "Steel Magnoilias", but the one that made me break down was "Alex, Life of a Child".

http://cystic-l.org/html/CFS-Alex.htm

It's the true story of the death of the daughter of Frank Deford, a sports writter in New York. At the end of the movie Alex, 8 yrs old, is dying of CF. She is in her bed at home with her parents sitting on each side of her. They know the end is near. Suddenly, Alex sits up in bed, looks off and says, "but, which way do I go?"--and falls back into her parents arms and dies. It was a made for TV movie and when I watched it the first time I cried at the end. About six months later, it was on TV again as a rerun. I thought that since I had already watched it once, I could watch it again and not cry. Wrong! I totally broke down at the end of this movie--even more than the first time. I guess I'm just an old softie. :(
