- yes…
- mmm…do you remember one night in the dining room there was this young naval officer and he was sitting near our table with two other officers…
- no…
- the waiter brought him a message…which point he left…nothing rings a bell?
- no
- …well…I first saw him that morning in the lobby…he was…he was checking in to the hotel and he was following the bell boy with his luggage to the elevator…he glanced at me as he passed…just a glance…nothing more…but I could hardly…MOVE…

moments of happiness

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more.

It never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning.

It was happiness.
It was the moment.

Right then.

brokeback mountain

“Tell you what, we coulda had a good life together, fuckin’ real good life!
Had us a place of our own. But you didn’t want it, Ennis!
So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain!
Everything’s built on that, that’s all we got boy, fuckin’ all.”

Ci sono storie che lasciano un segno, per quello che raccontano, per come lo fanno.
Del film di Lee mi rimane il doloroso senso di questa forza dirompente che si chiama Amore, che ti prende e ti stravolge la vita, che ti solleva in alto tra le nuvole, e ti risbatte a terra tra la polvere.

E il cui ricordo conserverai per sempre nell’armadio del tuo cuore, come una camicia ed una cartolina.
