This is true, as I sometimes come across songs where the lyrics remind me explicitly of BBM. Initially, it is the words that trigger the connection. But later, the mere melody takes hold of you and becomes in and of itself a reminder of BBM.Strange but wonderful is human perception.
Don't know if this is mentioned before, but when I see 2 men kiss ...BBM flashbacks all over
I heard The lyrics from "21 Grams" sounds so familiar I that thought it's some other theme that wasn't used for BBM, I checked it ...it's Gustavo's as well,.
You make your boyfriend wear a cowboy hat? Good idea! Yeah, the license plate on my car also reminds me. Because the license plates here have a picture of a silhouette of a cowboy on a horse above the words "The Lone Star State".
For me, Gustavo's woerk has become intertwined in my mind with BBM.
I havent heard any of his other work i dont think. I do love what he did for BBM tho, im always listening to the single The Wings that was released i think in america?? (someone help me on this one i got it off amazon) It is BBM remixes of The Wings mixed by different people but using the music Gustavo composed for the film. The cd case as a black and white pic of Ennis and Jack on, backs to camera on hill. Even though the mix lol wasnt in film the tune was and makes me think of BBM
My brother's daughter recently went camping with some friends to celebrate graduation and they had a flat. She called me to ask how to change a tire (out of five of them, they weren't sure how to work the jack!). Anyway she told me when she got home that one of her friends waved the jack handle around pretending it was a light saber and she had a sudden flash of Jack laying on the ground covered with blood. She said she would never look at changing a tire the same way after watching the movie. Sad but true.-samwise
Oh God yes! This is absolutely true!Thank you, samwise.
I know that scene bothered her a great deal (obviously), but the fact that she saw Jack killed because of who he was just unnerved her. She really loves the movie and is always commenting on things that remind her of either Ennis or Jack.As for me, across town there is a small older trailer someone lives in and every so often there is a Ford truck about the same year as the one Jack drove during the reunion (different color). I always smile and think to myself that Jack is in town visiting Ennis.I might just snap a pic of it and post it here.-samwise
Oh God, that's so beautiful!!! What I'd do to see that!! Please, PLEASE, take a pic, please!!! ( ( ( ( ( I think I could cry if I saw something like that....Jack is in town visiting Ennis....God...**sigh** :\'( :\'(
Two men in a movie.I didn't realize this until watching all these gay-themed movies, then it dawned on me.Every movie with two men in love reminds me of Ennis and Jack.
really? i suppose on some level it does, if someone was too say the word gay couple, ennis and jack would be my first thought, but seeing for example shaun and zach from shelter doesnt really remind me of ennis and jack, well sometimes i compare etc. so i suppose on some level it does make me think of them... i guess what i mean is not every gay couple reminds me of ennis and jack.
Yeah, I know I am Ennis-obsessed. But I was thinking Shaun was like Jack, and Zach was like Ennis, and how Heath would be great playing Shaun, and then how he would be great playing Zach because he can skateboard...
haha

Hmmm, very interesting, Matt. I must admit though that I see Zach and Saun as a reaction to Ennis and Jack -- as a kind of anti- Ennis and Jack, if you know what I mean...
Hey lance, we actually think the same here. As I mentioned in the other thread that I watched the new "Brideshead Revisited" this weekend, and couldn't help asking myslef how the film interpretation of the story has changed in a post-BBM world.
Everytime I ride my horse in the Mts.-even though I ride English. (When my horse goes crazy, I think "Jack would be proud of me for staying on"); Cowboy hats and Cowboy boots, even though not a lot of people wear them around here. I'm a Jack lover, and I LOVE the denim shirts and the black hats! Once-in-a while, I'll see 2 men with Cowboy hats on and automatically think of E & J. I'm always wishing I had a horse trailer so I could spend the night in the National Forest in a tent with a campfire. We have local Rodeos too, and I really want to go to one sometime.

Nice, I like the lone cowboy; it reminds me of Ennis riding through the flock of sheep, looking for the coyote. The shuttle and the stars are great, too. I can just imagine the big Texan sky, out in the desert, with all 'em stars, and Ennis thanking the heavens. For you Jake fans, the blue is like Jake's eyes.... Thanks, Athena.
