Now Playing: The Appleseed Cast - Sentence

after a night of thinking I think I can try and put to words why that movie struck a chord with me the way it did. It was the kind of love they had for each other that gripped so many of us. After a short time it didn't matter that it was between two guys - the message is much more universal than that.

Every guy on the planet has looked at some other guy and said to himself, "wow he's attractive/hot" then had that eight second pause where your brain sounds a red alert siren. WHat happens from there depends on the person, really. The same sex dynamic was done on purpose to make you pay attention to the greater picture.

The big purpose of this film was to show how love can come at you from anywhere. anywhere. You'll only know it when it hurts, too. Ennis and Jack, up in the mountains that first summer aren't just a couple of straight guys experimenting. They develop very deep feelings for each other. Ennis heaves over when Jack leaves. Slamming his fist against a brick wall and trying to suppress an upchuck, trying not to cry.

What should a person do when all these feelings just rush into them? Their love was intense, it was inescapable, and I would have been pissed as all hell if they had denied it completely. You can't just look the other way when it's right there. THAT is inhuman.
