If someone has a funny,sad,curious or any other adjective anecdote in rapport to BBM, that happenned to them or any person they met,why don't you explain it here?.
-
Well,I´ll begin with something that isn´t as an anecdote as a proof of the power that a movie as BBM can have in order to change people´s mind by moving them.I know a woman who can easily call homophobe;I say this because ,f.e.,when she knew the daughter of a familiar went to help a friend because her girlfriend has quitted her,she was scandalised.-"What is this?Her girlfriend¡And her mother says it so easy...".Well then,several weeks after she went to see BBM only because she´s a great movie´s amateur.The result was that she went and see it five times in two weeks and she really was moving with the story.The key of the question is that she literally fell in love with Jack´s role and with Jake;she told me that she could understand how much he suffered because she felt what he felt during all these years.

The question is that in sum, now she thinks that "no matter the sex if the love is real;I felt they loved each other so much that even I dreamed on them;I tried to help them building a house on the mountain in order they could be together"(?).Even she spoke well of the FNT:"Well,Ennis f**k Jack,it does not matter;they were young and felt attracted to each other...".It' s good her change of mind,but I wonder which would have been her reaction if the protagonists had been a couple of ugly,fatty guys,just like Aguirre...Well,it is the human mind...

I remember the second time my group watched BBM with our late friend Robert. The moment the first 2 notes of the BBM "theme" sounded in the beginning of the movie, a tear droped from his right eye.
He made light of it later. But I'll always remember this.

Oh,I´m so sorry for your friend...Now BBM has another motif to move you every time you see it, hasn´t it?.You know,nevertheless,that Robert always will be with you in some way,I really think so;it´s curious to see the power of a movie or music for being forever united with a souvenir,be this sad or happy,far o close,decisive or minuscule..
Well,you have lost a friend in this time and space,but if you want to,you have another one from the far Barcelona...Good luck¡.

Yes, I now always think of my good friend whenever I head the first 2 notes. I think he would have liked that.
