there are men in da craaaaater .....
I'm so sorry, I'm feeling kinda goofy - I saw BBM for the 7th time yesterday so I could finally say goodbye to Jack and Ennis on the big screen - :'( :'( :'(
That's how crazy I am about this film - I was thinking yesterday (uh oh) how really awsome it has turned out to be that BBM, a movie about rejection, was rejected as Best Picture for a cheap, made-for-tv movie about, get this, L.A. Wow, like THAT'S!!! never been done before.
Even though I am outraged for political reasons at the snub - I believe that god knows what we need, EVEN before we do. Ya just never know how life is gonna turn out - I mean, this movie is about a socially stigmatized love, about unfullfillment, rejection, specifically about how this kind of love is rejected in society, and so, however unfairly it is that it did not win Best Picture (from the Academy - boy, there's a collection of odd genuises if you ever saw one), rejecting BBM as Best Picture makes it the Best 'Rejected' Picture of All Time, and what greater honor for a film about rejection than to, unwittingly, elevate it to a category above all others, standing by itself, now the symbol of .. itself, so beautiful, so touching, so endearing, so devastating, and forever lasting .... a love that will never grow cold, or old. I don't think I know how to quit this .. really, I don't - I see another 12-step program in my future - cuz I'm powerless over BBM, but, in this case, because of it, my life has become just a little more manageable - whenever someone asks me why I'm nothing and nowhere, I can just say, I buried my heart at Brokeback Mountain. :'( :'(
