Symbols you will forever associate with BBM scenes
« on: Sep 01, 2006, 07:53 AM »
What are the symbols or images that you will now forever associate with BBM Scenes?

For me, the tireiron will forever be associated in my mind with the movie and with the scene of Jack's death.

The mountain itself, i suppose, because it symbolises the heights they could reach, and their distance above the mundane world of the plains, in a remote Eden in where love is possible and the censoriousness of the world at a distance. The snow represents the purity of their passion and the rocks and their cragginess the difficulties and dangers of their love but also its ability to outlast even life. In a mystical way i see the rocks below the grass of the mountain as having thier love inscribed upon them as a record that will last until thousands of years at last erode even the mountain.

I shall never de-thorn roses ever again without thinking of the Aguirre scenes in BBM...



Pero también la rosa del jardín donde vives.
¡Siempre la rosa, siempre, norte y sur de nosotros!
Tranquila y concentrada como una estatua ciega,
ignorante de esfuerzos soterrados que causa.

Rosa pura que limpia de artificios y croquis
y nos abre las alas tenues de la sonrisa.
(Mariposa clavada que medita su vuelo.)
Rosa del equilibrio sin dolores buscados.
¡Siempre la rosa!

(But also the rose of the garden where you live.
Always the rose, always, our north and south!
Calm and ingathered like an eyeless statue,
not knowing the buried struggle it provokes.

Pure rose, clean of artifice and rough sketches,
opening for us the slender wings of the smile.
(Pinned butterfly that ponders its flight.)
Rose of balance, with no self-inflicted pains.
Always the rose!)

(Lorca)

What else but..........



Sheep!!

I travelled to the countryside earlier this week. And while staring out the window at the farms passing by..I'd often see sheep in the fields. I sat there imagining seeing Jack or Ennis on their horses tending the sheep.  :c)

Lovely.  I know a related thread derals witn some religious/spiritual symbolism for this one. buty it need not be seen that way.  To be sure, sheep and shepherds I will always associate with BBM.  :)

Oh my there are just so many!

My whole life seems to be full of BBM references.    Going camping (the tent), eating beans (sick of beans!), watching a rodeo show the other day immediately made me think of Jack Twist, the countryside near where I live is covered with....sheep, seeing a sign for a Pentacostal church made me think of Jack Twist singing Water Walking Jesus....

The list just goes on and on. Even when I don't realise it, BBM has entered my subconscious.   But that's ok, because I dont want it to leave.

There are just too many to be named.  Basically anything mountain, anything cowboy and anything rural life will bring me back to BBM.

So, so true. I still see that commercial for Budweiser with the cowboy standing next to his horse in the stables and it makes me cry because it brings back Brokeback for me.

I realized that I can't receive postcards anymore without thinking about BBM.

I was sick this weekend  and received a few postcards.  Made me think of Ennis and Jack.  :)

Did we mention the shirts?

When I see shirts hung one on top of the other, I see BBM.

It's an iconic image.

Postcards are such an important symbol of BBM.

In a good way and a sad way.  :\'(
