My heart would melt for them instead of wincing. I would hire them year ofter year to herd my sheeps and even provide them with living quarters during the off-seasons.

OT: Actually, I live in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas. So nothing but the brightest stars can be seen, binoculars are often needed. I stargaze often when I go camping in dark areas. Oops, another association to BBM.

Indeed, camping is a good one. Or (as cited previously) fishing...

Fishing? Yup, who can forget that? LOL I think camping and fishing have a totally different meaning for me now after BBM.

I can't eat fresh fish nowadays without thinking of Alma and her daughters unsatisfied love for it.

I could, but I don't think I will anymore after reading this.

JT · « **Reply #273 on:** Dec 05, 2006, 12:52 PM »

Yes, eating fish will remind me of that situation and BBM itself, but I love fish. If I sometimes tear up eating fish, would people think I'm weird?

tpe · « **Reply #274 on:** Dec 05, 2006, 02:55 PM »

NO, JT. You are not weird. Whether because of BBM or for the aesthetic pleasure of eating -- I don't find it strange.

JT · « **Reply #275 on:** Dec 08, 2006, 02:01 PM »

Thanks, Thomas for not thinking I'm weird. It would be beacuse of BBM that I tear up. I usually have a big smile when eating lol.

And speaking of food, how can I see a piece of cherry cake the same way, post-BBM?

The wind - it struck me on Saturday, when the theater had good sound-equipment and I was aware of it rushing in the background, like time's winged chariot.

How about the kisses between Ennis and Jack?

Loving and tender

Strong and passionate

Oh greenfrog, thank you so much for these. You are so right. I would say that the subject of the contrasting kisses deserves its own thread.

Long story...so I'll make it short by saying "handcuffs"

And coffee pot handle x

I never saw the poin t of those blue and black speckled enmel things they had up on the mopuntain when I saw them in souvenir shops in the US, but now I think of them with affection because they reond me of Ennis falling over the coffee pot and doing the washing up in the river.

ksxks · « **Reply #282 on:** Dec 18, 2006, 02:57 PM »

Actually, they're not souvenirs per se, the speckled enamel pots. Maybe they're a bit old fashioned, but you can still find them -- I have a few in use in my kitchen. I love them also for camping. But anyway, yes, I love all their camping gear...and love the scene of Ennis washing up the dishes in the river.

We have those enamel pots and mugs, and they are blue ones too!!!

JT · « **Reply #284 on:** Dec 18, 2006, 11:34 PM »

Another thing that reminded me of BBM, especially Jack, is a can opener. I recently saw a commercial about this new bettery can opener that you put on top of the can and it suppose to open the can. Then you see these annoying people trying to use the old fashion can opener and starts to fumble it and drop the cans. It makes our Jack look graceful opening that can. It's like whenever they have a new invention, everything that was used for decades all of a sudden become useless. Dumb commercial, but I can't help but think about Jack opening that can, and that makes me want to laugh.

Yes, all the enamelware is a bit old fashioned, but I love the look of them, especially in the camp scenes.

Ennis washing the coffe pot by the stream -- so memorable!

Thanks, JT. harmonica and can opener -- I certainly associate these two items with Jack!

Another symbol I associate with Jack is very passionate singing.

He is just so full of gusto and happily singing his heart out

For me, the word "Pentecost" now has added meaning because of this scene.

cowboy hats. They are just a constant reminder of Ennis and Jack.

The 5 Ts:

Tire irons and rundown trailers. Tractors, trucks, and tears.

7 ts then... I mean trees, like trees in the Mountains. Ennis and Jake lumbing trees for fire wood. And counting...

Yes, with all the greenery in BBM, it is hard not to relate it with the film and story. I think the color of BBM is green... So let up add green to the list of associations, if it has not already been mentioned...
