It is probably here somewhere on this thread, but I can't find it. I wanted to make sure it was included in all of your detailed accounts.

Jake spoke about the picture being a movie the audience participates in or contributes to. He also recounted Ang Lee saying to the actors something on the lines of this -- when *YOU* (an actor in BBM) are not speaking, *THATS* when the audience is working and thinking.

This sums up everything which BBM means to me. Thanks Jake!

All I can say is...wow.

I can die happy now. It was AMAZING to see them up on stage.

I'll post more when I have a chance to process it. One thing that really stood out for me was, after several people thanked everyone involved for such a wonderful movie, Jake talked about how he can't watch the film, because he became Jack Twist for three months and the feelings that come back with watching the film come back and they're rather hard to deal with.

He then said that it was hard enough for him to live in this character for three months, but that people had to live with it for their whole lives. Very touching.

The last question was more of a statement, that the viewer didn't feel that they've been given a film, but more like a gift. I loved that.

As to the first post, when Jake made the crack earlier in the Q&A about the totally retro microphone, he sang "Fever night, fever night, fever" from "Saturday Night Fever." A great ice-breaker; he's obviously the outgoing one in the bunch. Heath was very measured and had his arms folded most of the time, a very DELIBERATE fellow. You could see how they had brought their personalities to the roles.

Another great moment was when the two actors were talking about Ang Lee's style. As mentioned previously, they talked about his love of silence, and how they got a lot of preparation before shooting, but when they arrived, Ang gave them little to no direction. Jake then talked about how Ang's silence can be misinterpreted as "sensitive," but then Heath talked about the "violence with the silence," and Jake said something about their being a sword to Ang's silence.

Jake made another comment that interested me very much. He pointed out that although making the film was an emotional experience AND he had to carry around for three months the emotion of his character, thus making watching parts of the film difficult for him, he also mentioned the obvious point that for he, Heath, and Michelle there is no objectivity regarding the emotional impact of the film on an audience because they were involved in the creative process. However, he looked at Gustavo and said that for him (Jake), listening to the soundtrack brings him that emotional response as a listener, or an audience member, that he can't get from watching the film - I took it as his tribute to Gustavo's score, and his illumination of the actors' difficulty in putting themselves in our shoes.

Really good statement by him, IMO.

Thanks, when I was saying it, I really even wasn't aware of how people were reacting to what I was saying, I was just concentrating on talking to all of them, but at our post screening gethering at the restaurant, maribel (I think that is how you spell her name - she posts around here) and the friend that she was with her told me that they were looking at Jake when I said what I did and that he was really touched by it, he had this look on his face. I remember him looking at me and I do remember him sort of smiling but my head was spinning so I don't know and I wondered what Heath thought because I just remember him having a serious expression but he tends to look like that alot. Gustavo had a big smiile on his face and said "thank you".

Note: this person said something at the end about "didn't feel that they've been given a film, but more like a gift". this is what this post about.

Jake AND Heath looked sincerely moved and humbled - Jake made a sort of hand gesture to his chest and Heath kind of looked down. It was as if despite all the compliments they have received, it was the first time it was put in those words, as "a gift."

I thought Jake's quote about when he thought Jack died was: "He died when they couldn't be together." I guess it doesn't matter.

I feel so lucky to have been a part of this.

Note: again, this person said something at the end about "didn't feel that they've been given a film, but more like a gift". this is what this post about

The sound was AWESOME!!! Ennis could be easily understood. Imagine!

I was the guy standing outside with the 3 signs saying "One ticket..." "Please" "I drove from San Francisco" I think nearly everyone who showed up without tickets got them eventually. Thanks again, Zach!

My main reason for going was Gustavo. I'd written a song based on a piece of his score and I wanted to get a copy to him and didn't know how else to reach him. And I did. I asked if he could give it a listen and get back with his opinion of it. He smiled and shook my hand but really, I'm not expecting to hear from him. Hope to get it on the album I'm working on.

But enough about me.

Further comment on Jake's response to "Why do people keep asking about the kissing scenes?" The implication was that what people wanted to know is if the two of them had felt any guy on guy love in the process of those scenes. And Jake's thought regarding those asking such questions was "What are you feeling watching it?" I interpreted that as maybe people (meaning straight people) are surprized by how much they feel for these two men, like if they're feeling so much it must be because Heath and Jake are maybe not acting, at least somewhat. Which is silly.

I've gotta say though, I would so date Jake. I don't watch TV and I don't follow the fan press so I'd never seen any interview footage of him and damn! what a smart, fun, engaging personality behing those eyes and that smile!

Gustavo mentioned how he'd always been interested in the use of silence in music and how he was really able to run with that with this score. You can totally hear how a melodic phrase will end and there will be so... much... space... until the next one comes in. The interviewer (a regular writer for Newsweek) called it the loneliest score he'd ever heard.

It really was a terrific night! I was just thrilled to see Jake, Heath, Michelle, and getting Diana Ossana, Gustavo, and the cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto were just amazing. I hadn't realized that Rodrigo had played the Mexican prostitute Jack picks up. Rodrigo and Jake apparently had to take 10 tries to get the scene right as Jake kept cracking up!!! Diana gave some very interesting insights into getting the film made. I also got the feeling that Jake and Heath are quite good friends (did anyone else get that?)They kept cracking each other up and looking at one another and filling in each others sentences. I got a chuckle when they introduced them all, they first brought out Michelle, and then Jake (who took a place right next to Michelle), and then Heath. Jake sort of moved over for Heath to be next to Michelle (what a gentleman!). I forget who moderated the discussion, but it was a very good looking young man who introduced himself as "Senior Editor" at Newsweek Magazine. He got a little choked up introducing all the actors saying that the movie just meant so much to him (saying, "Not only is it nominated for Best Picture of the Year, it IS the best picture of the year!") It really was a love fest for everyone there. They asked at the beginning how many people had seen Brokeback. I couldn't see the hands behind me, but certainly it seemed like every hand in front of me went up as having seen the movie before. The actors spent about 40 minutes answering questions. My one complaint was that the moderator should have repeated the questions asked so everyone could know what the actors were addressing. While you could assume what the question was, sometimes I thought, "Huh? What did they ask?". Still it was a magical night, and for only $9--that for the movie, the panel discussion, AND an incredibly beautiful souvenir program.

re: [Yeah, I hadn't realized Rodrigo, the Cinematographer, was the one playing the Mexican prostitute. Rodrigo mentioned how he thought of the scene as his "big chance", and how nervous he was. He was nervous about the lighting, being outside, etc. etc., and just as he was about to give his line ("...senior?"), Jake comes around the corner and busts out laughing. Jake and Rodrigo exchanged laughs about it, and Jake chimed in about it taking "about 10 takes").]

Oh gosh---yes, yes, yes, that was a cute story! (There's SO much to remember from last night and everyone is doing a great job at reporting what they recall of it, thank you)! But what Jake mentioned as a close to this is that the take that's seen in the film (of him walking up to and leaving with Rodrigo) is the only one of around a dozen of them that he didn't ruin by giggling, so that's why it made it! Poor baby---he couldn't even stop giggling right there on the stage, so I can only imagine how hard it was for him to get through the scene during the filming!
