(((((Mechtild))))) I do see a point in this review, and I also see it in your thoguht about a "just people" movie.

OK, I haven't seen BBM, but I've read all the spoilers (bad me! :D) and this review as well, and I have something to say.

I want to be "just a person". To be honest, I hate the seperation of straight and gay, I get uncomfortable when somebody calls me a lesbian, including myself. Not because I live in a hostile environment. I just want to be a person. A girl. Just somebody. And the thing is thst it cannot be - not for me myself and not for any person who knows me. I cannot run away from what I am, I cannot choose, and that's it. And from this review I see a very special point. No matter how doomed the straight couple's romance is, self-loathing and the feeling of being robbed of a choice is very rarely there.

When a girl falls in love with a man, no matter what the situation is, she never thinks: "Oh, woe is me, I've been robbed of a chance of a lesbian relationship." In my case, I did feel robbed of any chance of happiness.

Yes, I know, I'm an idiot. And, of course, I'm not so depressed as I was years ago over this.
