In the afternoon, I arrived 20 minutes early, but the good position was still robbed, so I had to sit in the aisle row.
The atmosphere of the cinema is a bit strange. There is no black person. Most of them come in couples of boys. There is also a small group of girls. They rarely see mixed men and women, so it is very quiet.
I sat there alone and listened to the four the cures, and then a girl took a boy and came in with a big bag of popcorn, laughing and sitting next to me.
The movie begins.
I read a novel two months ago. It feels like the wind of Armenia. The Armenian Plain is located at the junction of the Eurasian continent. The ruggedness and delicateness of the Asian zone, combined with the romantic European civilization, once brought a lot of inspiration to the poet Mandelstam. Annie’s Brokeback Mountain is the same to me. The poor and messy pastures, the rude and sometimes vicious cowboys, the little bit of meticulousness, the secret feelings, seem to be in the old-fashioned rural areas of Texas and Wyoming. So precious.
But Ang Lee's shots are much more beautiful than I thought.
Ang Lee's shots are very focused, simple and poetic. The conditions in Brokeback Mountain are difficult, but the sky is high and the clouds are wide, the mountains are blue and the water is blue. In this two-person world, Jack began to become detached, and Ennis gradually became stoic.
Then, everything happened so naturally, as if the stream was finally about to flow to the lake, the mountains returned to twilight, the blue robins on the Brokeback Mountain sang, and the whiskey was endlessly drunk.
The film is basically based on the novel. Many images are approaching, overlapping, or slightly intersecting with what I have in mind, and then approaching and overlapping.
One of the changes, or improvement, was that when Jack got old, he didn't pile meat on his shoulders and buttocks, his big teeth were not grinded, and his old Texas father-in-law did not die soon.
But he is indeed mature and vicissitudes. He can yell at his Texas father-in-law who is accustomed to arguing, he can educate his children loudly at home, and he can master more things in life, but he is still helpless with their relationship.
If there is any regret, it is that Ennis’s voice is stuffed under the throat of the rural Wyoming pronunciation, which makes it difficult for me to hear a lot of dialogue.
Also, at the beginning of the film, I felt that Ennis's eyes were too melancholy, and Jack's mouth was too attractive. But as the plot slowly unfolded, I decided to give up my position. There is a homosexual on imdb who said that he watched this film with a scrutiny eye, but he couldn't find one unnatural, even the most subtle. Ang Lee said that I want to look for two young people to play, they will not use too much life experience to interpret the role, they will believe in what they are doing, and then put their efforts.
My favorites in the soundtrack are Emmylou Harris' A love that will never grow old and Mary McBride's No one's gonna love you like me. It's the texture of the old singing female voice, which wiped out my resistance.
Anyone who has read a novel will look forward to the two clothes and sleeves at the end. When Ennis stepped on the creaking stairs into Jack's room, I held my breath. But that scene did not force my tears out. Because I have always imagined that the director should take the two sleeves closer together, pull them together, and then put them in their pockets, just like on Brokeback Mountain, Ennis embraces Jack from behind, and the mountains and rivers on all sides slowly melt in the dusk.
But in the end, Ennis hung up the two shirts again and put them on another way, with a postcard from Brokeback Mountain pasted next to them. At that moment, I finally couldn't hold back.
The lights came on and Ang Lee's name was typed out.
The girl next to me fell on the boy's shoulder and sniffed and said, It is so sad.
She had tears in her eyes. So did I.
