Hey which is your fav? Or which do you feel represents the spirit of BBM and is most memorable to you?
-
I voted "Truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it".
I used to feel the same so many times in the past...
-
MIne is "it could be like this, just like this" cause i feel it's the spirit of BBM, Jack being romantic and hopeful and
Ennis then launching into this response. But it's also so universal, we all want it to stay in that special place
and we just can't.
-
"If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it"
Because.. I think it's really beautiful and sad quote. And I don't know.. It's just something I really feel like for the movie and for the "real life"....
-
I like all of the quotes, how could I not? But I voted for "This is GD bitch of an unsatisfactory situation" I guess because I keep using it in conversation. Actually a lot of "BBM speak" is making it's way into my vocabulary but that's the one I use the most.
-
It could be like this, just like this always"
Haven't a clue why I chose this to be honest. It's just one that makes me sad :-\

I know what you mean, it's so sad cause it just can't be like that. And we can all relate in some ways.
-
I voted for "If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it"
It can be applied to so many things in life and so many things in the movie and related to it.
I'm surprised that it hasn't become more of a catch phrase.

Great idea Toadily!
Mine is
''Truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it"
I just recall the look on Jack's face and eyes when he says this... :'( baw!
-
riuscissi almeno a lasciarti!
I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU!
-
i liked this one
"this is a goddamned bitch of an unsatisfactory situation
and
" I wish I knew how to quit you.."
there all good quotes :)
-
I voted for "If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it"
Me too. It is so true for many situations in life. :D
-
"Tell you what. . .truth is, sometimes I miss you so bad I can hardly stand it. . ."
because it is the only time Jack came so close to telling Ennis that he was in love with him. Ennis still doesn't know just how much Jack loves him. . .after 20 years.
Diana Ossana: "And then he goes up to Jack’s room and he finds his old shirt hanging tucked inside Jack’s, and he realizes how much that man loved him—how deeply he loved him from the get-go.
-
My favourites..
" Jack Twist, Jack Nasty " Ohhhhh I like that, I don't know why, sounds good in my ears!!
and this one is heartbreaking
"Tell you what. . .truth is, sometimes I miss you so bad I can hardly stand it. . ."

and that's why I chose it too... it breaks my heart. it's the closest to saying "I love you".
-
Yes, Keren, that's mine,too: It incorporates both feelings of the "If you can't fix it...." and the closest we come to "I love you": "The truth is sometimes I miss you so bad I can hardly stand it" ...but I'm going to have to stand it, live with it, and somehow survive! As Edith Wharton wrote: "The only thing sadder than death is Life"!
-
"truth is..." pulls ahead!
-
I voted for
"Truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it"
"I wish I knew how to quit you"
-
i voted for
this is a goddamned bitch of an unsatisfactiory situation.
i dont know, it's just the truth for ennis and jack, isn't it??
-

It's the only time Jack wen't so close to say I love you. :'( here I go again!

just saw movie again after 4 week gap
the " gotta stand it " speech from Ennis breaks my heart --- it looks like he 's about to cry and then jack touches his cheek --- it's like jack has "seen" the demons that haunt Ennis.
BUT the most meaningful quote to me is still " Sometimes i miss you so much i can hardly stand it " . Its the way he says it as well as the words --- 20 yrs of longing --- of half living and always the need for Ennis. No matter what else they both put in their lives , they're not alive unless they're together. Normal day to day life is pretty much a sham ---- and what they feel for each other shows what could be poss in a different world. It's so cruel.

And also, it comes after Jack admitting he has something goin' with that Rancher's wife!...they both laugh...there's a pause and Jack comes up with that line...and at that point I sooo want Ennis to say something back...that he too misses Jack like mad, and wishes they could be like this ..always!!! and I cry!!!!

Y'all are gonna make me cry talking about this quote so much. I haven't seen this movie in more than a month probably, and I have to stay on here for awhile each day and look at youtube for like twenty minutes to get my Brokback fix. I'm gonna cry my ass off when he says it after I buy the dvd.
-
For me "Nobody's business but ours", I love the way Jack says that but also it's like a premonition of what their love story is going to be.
And then "I wish I knew how to quit you", there's so much desperation in his voice, he probably sees the end is near. OMG he didn't know what an awful end :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
am i allowed to add this one?
Ennis Del Mar: You're sleeping on your feet like a horse..

I would like it because it's a really good one but, people who already voted cannot vote again.

"It could be like this, just like this always"
I like very much Jack's positive romanticism.

Powerfull look between them?!?!
Anyway...my vote : "Truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it"
-
My favorite line in the maovie is, "It's because of you I"m like this - I"m nowhere, nothing." Ennis's pain is palpable. I completely fall to pieces evrytime I hear this line. Also, this is the closest Ennis ever gets to professing his love. This hits me as hard as Ennis finding the shirts.
-
"Truth is.... sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it."
It's the look in his eyes as he says it that gets me.
-
"Truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it"
:\'( :\'( :\'(
-
I love them all equally but this one gets me every time..
It could be like this, just like this, always..
And the way Jack says it.. So full of hope and wanting to be with his man forever.. :'(
-
I love them all too...but, like Twisted, this one never fails to get to me
It could be like this, just like this, always...
One other line really does me in too and it's this
As long as we can ride it...ain't no reins on this one
I love that one because Ennis is all but saying that he's in love with Jack...that what he's feeling is stronger than anything he's ever felt, something that can't be controlled...and I really think that Jack understood that :\'( <^(

I guessed this when I first saw your forum name, NoReins. That was an intense moment for the two of them.

Aye, that probably was fairly obvious, huh? ;D

I never take anything for granted; most especially from you. ;)

For me it's always been "See you in the morning" at the end of the dozy embrace scene, because it makes me think how few mornings there have been when they could say this, and that there will never be any more.
-
My favorite quote is from the ss and is unfortunately not included explicitly in the movie: "Let be, let be."
-

1. "Ive yet to have the opportunity" aka -I want the opportunity.... with you.( that look)

I just discovered this ... ^*()
Anyway, I loved so much your post, it's like quoting my thoughts.....thank you :^^)
-
my vote was more along the lines of 'i miss you so much' when they meet again after 4years. my tears go to overdrive and i started crying coz i can actually feel their pain. they waited 4years to see the person they they truly love. 4long, hard years....those little words aren't enough to portray how much they had wanted to be in each other's arms during the 4years they were apart. but a close one would be...'i wish i knew how to quit you'. it just goes on to show that jack loves ennis so much that he can't stop loving him even if he wanted to. so strong was his love for him....

The most profound quote for me was spoken in anger and despair by Cassie. "Girls don't fall in love with fun." But men do, Cassie. Love is not about wearing shorts and needing attention.
what did she fall in love with? She didn't even know him. She may have wanted him, but love? that's laughable. love would never hurt Ennis. She attacked him.
She was so tortured and so serious. If she had just listened to herself. This was an important point of the whole movie to me, the contrast between man/woman love and man/man love. Ennis and Jack had fun. The movie portrayed women so truthfully as to what we really are to men. Rarely are we fun.
Cassie needy
Alma boring
Lureen money driven
Mrs. Twist lonely housekeeper
LaShawn talk, talk, talk
Against this backdrop, Jack and Ennis lit up the screen with something magically delicious.
They had a relationship filled with amazing love, energy, humor and excitement. And in that mix was fun. They had fun... wrestling, skinny dipping, sharing, friendship, joking, laughing. What a brilliant script.
Let's all have more fun!
I love you... just the way you are... and I want nothing from you, except for you to be you.

In their own way, I think Alma, the children, and Cassie loved Ennis. They just couldn't understand th depth of his predicament -- having to struggle with himself and living the lie.
A for Cassie's quote: "Girls don't fall in love with fun", I think she meant that she never intended to just toy around with Ennis. She had always wanted a serious bond with Ennis, and she was aghast that Ennis didn't recognize this.
