Yesterday, I went to see 'Mrs. Henderson Presents' and 'Brokeback' for a second time.
I wanted to point out a couple of things.
I totally, completely and severely missed out on something during my first viewing of 'Brokeback'. Sometimes I think my ADHD gets the best of me. Or maybe it was that I was sobbing like five rows of a church funeral the last time I watched this film.
I understood the whole significance of the shirts thing at the very end of the film. But I hadn't realized that Jack stole Ennis's shirt. It completely escaped me. Totally. I think I may be a buffoon for missing this. Ennis mentions how he forgot his shirt up on the mountain. Jack stole it. I love that! Not only this, but Jack had a shrine of sorts to their relationship in the closet! Doy. In the closet. And then Ennis has his shrine in his closet. I'm not sure how the homage to their relationship got in the parent's house, but I'm not gonna dwell on it...
Something terribly funny happened in the theatre this second time that I had to share. During the scene where Jack stands up to Lorraine's father, there was applause. That was great. Not only that, after Jack has his yelling fit at daddy-in-law, a queen in the back of the theatre shouted, "Don't piss off a bottom!"
I almost peed myself.
Anyway, don't listen to a word of advice I have about films any more. I can't believe I missed out on that plot point. Makes me ill to think on it...
