Film Critic: The two men have hidden the secret for a lifetime-the silent "Brokeback Mountain". I would like to use this document to give this document to the far away in heaven-Heath Ledger is like the high and vast mountains of Brokeback Mountain. The film tells the story of the 60th century. Two men in Ohio, the United States, have hidden a lifetime secret, a simple and deep love that has maintained the two for life, like a silent mountain. Regarding this movie, which swept all the important awards in major film festivals a few years ago, for a long time, I didn't have any words every time I faced it. It is impossible to have any words for the emotion that touches the softest part of the heart. Just because it is impossible to express the shock that Brokeback Mountain brings to me in any existing human language. Under such circumstances, if I write any words about it, to me, it is a blasphemy to the beauty in my heart. Therefore, I do not write "Brokeback Mountain". This text still cannot be regarded as a film review of "Brokeback Mountain". I wrote it just to put my deepest thoughts on ENNIS and JACK, as well as the memory of Heath Ledger, the actor of ENNIS, who is far away in heaven. . The trees in summer have grown extraordinarily luxuriant. Through the gaps of the leaves, there is a little bright light, and I seem to see Jack staring into ENNIS's affectionate eyes. Those eyes that always hold longing and hope, those talking eyes, seem to imply a kind of unspeakable distress, what does he want to say to us. I remembered, that was when ENNIS encountered a grizzly in Brokeback Mountain and was shocked by the horse falling down and returning from injury. Jack scrubbed him carefully with his tie. The flashing eyes are a kind of injury on your body. The concerns and worries that hurt my heart. That beautiful, far-reaching and magnificent Brokeback Mountain, do you remember that there were two men who played, hugged, and had sex freely in your arms. Remember that string of laughter that stretched like a flowing cloud from their hearts, remember their figure leaning on the campfire? ——The bonfire burned that night, reflecting the cheerful figure of JACK dancing like a child. Under the infection of JACK’s lively and funny body language, ENNIS couldn’t help but open the chatterbox. This always silent and introverted man suppressed him. From the bottom of my heart, the family life experience that can't be understood is all dumped out. JACK joked: You said more than in these two weeks. ENNIS stared at his enthusiastic eyes, and there was a kind of inner peace and stability in his tone: this is the most words I have said in a year. Compared with JACK, who is unrestrained and unrestrained in feelings, ENNIS always treats himself and JACK with an evasive mentality. Perhaps this fear comes from experiences witnessed in childhood. When he was only 9 years old, he and his father saw a tragic death in the mountains. His father told him indifferently that the deceased was a homosexual. He died in a closed mountain village that hates homosexuality in Wyoming, and his father’s words echoed in a young and immature heart. That tragic scene may have doomed his life’s repression and fear of homosexuality, even though he burned deep in his heart. His love for JACK has never ceased to go out. Therefore, although ENNIS denies himself vigorously and once clearly told JACK "I'M NOT QUEER", can he resist this innate force? He sat in front of the fire and hesitated for a long time that night. He knew that there was a Jack waiting for him in the tent, and Love was calling him affectionately... Jack who was sleeping in the tent was also tossed and turned, unable to sleep, the reason why he was before The purpose of complaining that he could not sleep well outside was nothing more than to get ENNIS to allow him to come in and accompany him. Unexpectedly, ENNIS was so confused about the style, he even changed it out of the tent on his own. This is really not his original intention. The sudden drop in temperature completes the love of the two men. JACK summoned ENNIS, who was trembling all over with cold, in. The two hungry bodies drew closer to each other like never before, and the flames of eros bloomed in the gazes of each other, a flower that could illuminate all darkness, brighter than any light. Jack's lips greedily plucked the sweet honey from his lover's lips that made him intoxicated, and ENNIS entered Jack's body almost without a teacher. The two men finally merged completely at the moment their bodies entered, and their hearts were tightly connected, and there was no longer any power to separate. From the perspective of the film’s aesthetic style, the male-male love in Brokeback Mountain is set in the majestic and majestic western mountains of the United States. In the United States, Western cowboys are representative of the rough, masculine and masculine image. Therefore, it is different from the gentle and sad women in the past. The difference in the style of love movies is that the love shown in Brokeback Mountain is a kind of love bred in the embrace of a mountain forest. It is fresh, simple and pure and affectionate. The two male protagonists are optimistic and open-minded. JACK, who expresses sincerity and enthusiasm, or ENNIS, who expresses deep and steady emotions with tolerance and restraint, perfectly interprets the male image of rigidity and softness on the screen. Its expressive power of emotional depth makes people feel breathless. Of course, this is also due to the director Ang Lee’s training and his superb narrative skills. For such a bold and bold man’s emotions, Ang Lee pays attention to the details to figure out and understand the emotions that are the most unnoticeable in the hearts of the two cowboy men. The veins are expressed in detail, which makes the film possess a lofty, majestic, yet subtle and subtle aesthetic appeal, and thus impresses audiences of different tastes and temperaments in the East and the West. Let us recall the meaningful details in the movie. For example, just after the passion of the two men on the first night, JACK's face still in dream seems to be intoxicated in the sweet memory of love, while ENNIS got up early and left without leaving a word. At this time, JACK caught up, and he shouted to ENNIS: Waiting for you to come back for dinner. Those wandering eyes looked like a little boy who had done something wrong. This detail vividly allows us to see the different attitudes of the two men towards them, and the ups and downs of the emotional tragedies between the two in the future are also beginning to take shape here. By the river in the early morning, JACK, who has always been like a naughty child, is enduring the icy cold of the river to wash his clothes. ——Whose clothes is he washing? The director here laid a hint for us. In fact, the attentive audience will know after seeing that the checked shirt is a symbol of JACK's life to protect ENNIS. In the evening, Jack, who was worried about ENNIS for a day, took the initiative to look for him at the sheep's place. At this time, as expected, ENNIS said a cruel thing to him: this can only happen once. What a blow to JACK’s originally happy and high spirit, but JACK still resisted the sorrow in his heart. In front of his lover, he whispered: This is our business and has nothing to do with others. This sentence also clearly shows JACK’s attitude towards feelings-JACK has always been honest and frank with his own sexuality and emotions. Even though he later married his wife lureen, who took the initiative to pursue him, he did not talk to his wife. His parents concealed the secrets deep in his heart. He clearly told his wife and parents that he had an ENNIS in his heart and a Brokeback Mountain. JACK’s attitude is in sharp contrast to ENNIS’s importance of social recognition and the social “sense of responsibility” of maintaining public image. So ENNIS here emphasizes that he is not QUEER (slang for homosexuality). ——How should JACK answer him at this time. Please note that facing ENNIS's "rational" eyes, JACK replied against his will: neither me (Neither me.) Judging from the narrative behind the movie, JACK is lying to ennis! From the first lie he told ennis "me neither", to later he described his relationship with randall as the relationship with randall’s wife, lashawn. For nearly 20 years, on the issue of sexual orientation, he said These are all idealistic words. But these unintentional lies are not offensive. On the contrary, JACK, who has always been honest, is deeply sympathetic in these details: because the motive of the lies comes from his deep love for ENNIS. Since ennis himself is a homophobia (homophobia), he has not been able to accept his sexuality or GAY calmly, so Jack has always lied like this in order to get the ennis and not to lose the ennis. On the second night, ENNIS entered the tent with both eagerness and anxiety. At this time, JACK turned like an older brother caring for his younger brother. He gently comforted his lover: "THAT'S ALL RIGHT." (Note this sentence, Mentioned again later in the film). This is also the first time that JACK put ENNIS in his arms, as if comforting an injured child, his body language was filled with deep care and love for ENNIS. Hearing that the boss told them to go down the mountain, ENNIS was very upset and sat sulking. Why is he angry? In order to make one month's salary? No, he was sad because he was leaving Brokeback Mountain and JACK. JACK finished the package, ENNIS was still sitting on the hillside and didn't want to get up. He was waiting for JACK to pull him up, waiting for JACK to comfort him, like a nauseous little boy (ENNIS lost his mother when he was very young, and his life lacked the kind of love that JACK gave him). JACK saw ENNIS sitting unhappy on the hillside. It is conceivable that his mood at that meeting was also full of sadness and uneasiness, but JACK’s optimistic and cheerful nature still held down the sadness in his heart. For ENNIS, he must cheer himself up. He got up, so he came over to make him laugh on purpose, and he also wrapped ENNIS with ropes. The two men in the movie were never good at expressing their love in words. The caressing and entanglement of each other's body and even screaming are all to vent their hearts. Emotional way. At the moment of the breakup, the two men were rolling and beating together like two children. No matter how earth-shaking the fight was, the physical pain couldn't be more than the skin-cutting pain deep in my heart about the imminent separation. No matter how tall and sturdy they are, the two men with firm appearance are little boys who never grew up deep in their hearts. The way they treat love and their lover has always been so naive, simple and clumsy. The moment of parting finally came. Here, whether JACK or ENNIS, the emotional details they express under the director's lens seem so meaningful. ——In the truck, JACK's silent eyes have been stuck to ENNIS in the rear mirror of the car. I believe that if ENNIS is willing to stay for him at this time, JACK will definitely fly to him without hesitation........... But... he could only watch ENNIS walk out of his sight and walk out of his life silently. And when JACK’s truck became smaller and blurry in his line of sight until it disappeared, ENNIS, who had been holding on to his inner emotions, finally broke through the psychological defense. His legs softened and he knelt down. The corner cried loudly, and stood up again and fisted against the solid and thick high wall in front of him. The man's cry and growl were like a trapped beast locked in an iron cage and desperate. (Pay attention to a passer-by who walked through at this time. The director’s details seem to represent a social group of onlookers, and ENNIS couldn’t help but yell at him. Why did he scold this stranger? The director’s meaning may be because he is right. It is them, each of these members of the public, that makes their love invisible to the day, and makes them afraid to love JACK boldly). ENNIS thus moved towards marriage under the pressure of society. Please pay attention to some details of their sex after marriage. Does the way ENNIS caress and enter the wife's body look familiar? It can also be seen from this that the director has carefully considered and designed every detail and every shot of the entire movie. Some viewers couldn't understand why ENNIS would fight two big guys when he brought his family to watch the fireworks. Please pay attention to what the two bastards are saying. What are they talking about? They are mocking the girls here for not being satisfied with men. And ENNIS had to fight hard with two rough men just for this sentence, in order to prove that he is not gay, but a man who meets the requirements of society. This fight is also telling the audience that ENNIS is integrating himself into a society that conforms to mainstream morals from all aspects and details, and he is trying to be a good husband and father. And this scene after the fight is played repeatedly as the last scene of the trailer for "Brokeback Mountain". What does it represent? Why are the ENNIS husband and wife so far apart? What is isolated between them? ——Yes, what separates them is love! They are not people of the same world at all. Wife represents society, and ENNIS represents GAY that is not accommodated by society. Because although ENNIS has been working hard to find its social role positioning, once four years later, JACK will reappear in front of us. At this time, we clearly see that no matter what social norms are for ENNIS, it will lose its effectiveness, and ENNIS The natural nature that has been suppressed for a long time has finally been freely relaxed and liberated in front of the lover. This explains why ENNIS, who has always been careful to be a man, would so impulsively kiss his long-lost lover, completely forgetting to check if there are passers-by (society) around in advance. At the same time, this also fully proves that the ENNIS before the arrival of JACK is not the real ENNIS, he always lives in the eyes of others. Gathering again, they returned to the burning campfire. Under the warm light of the fire, he put him in his arms again, really holding him in his arms, and the lover he missed every day is now really leaning on him. In his arms. No longer a call in a dream, he and his head are leaning together affectionately, hoping that time can stop for them. It is necessary to mention the scene of two men jumping naked from a cliff into the river. Heath Ledger, the Australian actor who played ENNIS, later declassified that the scene between him and JACK represented that they were falling in love at the same time. It was a love affair between two men who gave each other their hearts and minds. By the campfire, the two people proposed by JACK would live together forever. ENNIS did not dare to agree. He told the scene of the tragedy that he had witnessed in his childhood about comrades buried in his heart. He persuaded JACK to endure, as long as he could endure. The shadow of childhood fear and the cruel reality still loom over him, making him afraid to respond to Jack’s bold confession, and for the second time to let go of the opportunity to live with his lover... For ENNIS’s escape, JACK naturally has mixed feelings in his heart. , But is he angry, no. He loves the panic that his lover suffers so much, so instead he stretches out his hand to caress and comfort ENNIS. For him, the man in front of him is the eternal love in his heart. He doesn't want to see his lover sad and painful. The only way at present is to listen to ENNIS's advice and continue to bear it, as long as he can endure it. A pair of hard-working lovers care about each other with the warm memories of Brokeback Mountain once a year. That is their only courage to survive in the cruel world. ——Until one day, when JACK heard the news of ENNIS divorce. JACK rushed to ENNIS non-stop. He planned the future in which he and him could live together. As long as there is ENNIS in his life, no matter what the hardships and difficulties, for JACK, it is a small case that is not worth mentioning. His heart is always full of enthusiasm for life. ——The dust all the way, with a look of anticipation, he expects ENNIS to give him hope this time, a promise of a better future. However, ENNIS's choice once again shattered JACK's hope for a better life. ENNIS has always been at the crossroads of life, and has never been able to overcome that obstacle. Despite his divorce, his "sense of responsibility" to his family to his daughter made him let go of JACK again. Ennis, who is nearly young, shoulders the responsibility of a father to raise two children. From the perspective of JACK, although he is willing to give all his property to ENNIS, ENNIS's strong self-esteem does not allow him to do so. I still remember that when he first came down from Brokeback Mountain, Jack offered to lend ENNIS, but was scolded by ENNIS. In ENNIS's view, a man has to rely on his shoulders to carry the responsibility of supporting his family. JACk knew from the beginning that since he wants to love ENNIS, he must respect his self-esteem and choice. ENNIS’s strong sense of social moral responsibility directly ruined the possibility of his last date with JACK. Not only that, he even thinks that the reason why he was divorced and the reason his family was split is because he loves his Jack the most! In front of the lover, in order to vent the depression in his heart, ENNIS said something that made JACK pain and uneasy all his life. He said, because of you, because of you, I LIKE THIS. Without a home, there is nothing. (YDY’s subtitles translated LIKE THIS into "Like this", as if JACK made him gay. This is wrong. It should be translated into "become like this" in contrast with the following text) Is it JACK that made him have nothing? ? The answer is obviously no. ENNIS should have quickly realized that what he said was just a negative sentence. Of course, if you think about it carefully, we can't blame ENNIS. After all, only in front of a completely undefended lover can we reveal the most immature, most confused, or even panic part of our hearts. ENNIS knows that he can indulge himself only in the face of his favorite lover, and talk about the depressed words in his heart that can't find the target of venting. The fact is exactly the same. In the face of ENNIS, which was nearly collapsed, JACK once again opened up his warm and inclusive embrace. By ENNIS's side, even though he was partial to the role of his younger brother, JACK at this time is still playing a role as he did many years ago. The image of the tender brother, he hugged his beloved lover, and once again comforted him "THAT'S ALL RIGHT" (corresponding to when he comforted ENNIS 20 years ago.) The camera flashed back to Brokeback Mountain 20 years ago. Let's read this paragraph in the novel: What made JACK miss but be at a loss is the hug that ENNIS gave him on Brokeback Mountain that summer. At that time he walked behind him and pulled him into his arms, filled with speechless joy that is closely related to the deepest part of life. At that time, they stood quietly in front of the bonfire for a long time, with the red flame swaying, casting their shadows on the stone, as one body, like stone pillars. The pocket watch in ENNIS's pocket was ticking, and the wood in the fire gradually burned into charcoal. In the shining starlight and firelight, ENNIS's breath was calm and long, humming softly in his mouth. JACK leaned in his arms, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat. This heartbeat was like a faint electric current, making him a dream, not a dream, fascinated and intoxicated.......... Until ENNIS woke him up in the soft tone that his mother used to speak to himself: "I have to go, cowboy. You stand and sleep like a horse." He shook him and disappeared. In the dark. JACK only heard him trembling and said "see you tomorrow", and then he heard the sound of the horse's nose and the sound of the horse's hoof moving away. This lazy hug solidified as a sweet memory of their separation years, fixed as an eternal moment in their difficult life, simple and unpretentious, sincerely joyful. This morning hug has thus become Jack's best memory in 20 years. The film suddenly jumped back to the reality 20 years later. It is still JACK watching ENNIS go away. There are no young stars in his eyes, dullness, helplessness, despair... What other words can describe JACK's mood at this time? ? ! The 39-year-old is still standing where he was when he was 19. This is also the last JACK shot in the film. JACK waited for 20 years, not 20 days, 20 months, it was the most precious 20 years of life from the age of 19 to 39! From waiting for starlight to white sideburns, for so many years, his expectations of ENNIS have failed time and time again, and every disappointment is like a sharp knife inserted into his heart. Heartbreaking and bleeding time and time again, JACK's enthusiasm for life seems to have been consumed by ENNIS. Thinking of one time after JACK left his lover disappointedly, in the car, we saw JACK, who was always optimistic and cheerful, wept in tears. This is the only frontal close-up of Jack's tears in this movie. Tears poured out uncontrollably. ——For the original love, for the promise of ENNIS that can never wait. JACK can only endure it all the time. He gritted his teeth and endured it until he died. At the end of the movie, ENNIS called JACK’s wife lureen to ask about the cause of JACK’s death. The wife sighed first, and narrated coldly, without pause, as if she was reading a manuscript. It can be seen that she has no love for JACK for a long time. Someone suggested that her blood-red nails meant that all she was telling was a lie. So, how did JACK die? The camera inserts a short flashback shot for a few seconds in the middle of the lureen narration, from which we can see that JACK was tragically killed by several mobs. It is necessary to explain here in Wyoming, where the two male protagonists live. There are sparsely populated, windy and sandy places, and the space is particularly open and closed. To survive here, you must abide by more stifling rules than other places. And such a geographical location is the story background of Brokeback Mountain. The story of "Brokeback Mountain" took place in the 1960s, and Proux's novel was published in October 1997. Just one year after the novel was published, on October 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a student at the University of Wyoming, was kidnapped to the outskirts of Leremy because he was a homosexual. He was tied to a fence and brutally beaten, 5 days and 5 nights later. expire. It proves that in the realm of cowboy mythology, homosexuals have no room to breathe freely. (This real event was later adapted into the famous documentary film "THE LARAMIE PROJECT"). Why is there a road construction scene at the back of the movie? Is it just an expression of the life ENNIS has lived? ENNIS was building roads with an old man. The old man said: My wife would not let me do this heavy work for fear of breaking my BACK. I told her that my BACK is the pillar of a happy life. In English: BROKEBACK symbolizes the last straw in the straw pile, and it is also the thing that bears the most pressure. BROKEBACK, symbolizing the death of JACK, made ENNIS lose the pillar of life. At the end of the film, in order to retrieve JACK's ashes, ENNIS came to JACK's home. Finally met JACK's parents for the first time. Jack's father told ENNIS that for 20 years, Jack always mentioned his name and mentioned that he would run a farm with this man and live a good life. (Pay attention to his father's eyes, looking up, as if ENNIS is just a dream of JACK, not the living person in front of him, in other words: he doesn't believe what JACK said, he doesn't believe that there really is this ENNIS) Follow the corridor Stepping into JACK’s room step by step, ENNIS’s body seemed to no longer belong to him. He couldn’t hear his own footsteps. The oncoming breath made his consciousness fly out of his body. He seemed to hear from another world. The affectionate call of his lover: ENNIS, ENNIS, don't sit in that window anymore. It's at that window. How many times have I been in a daze, staring at the path outside the window, waiting for you, this time, it's 20 years... Come here, ENNIS, come here, here is a secret about us. How many lonely nights, I hold this secret firmly in my arms, looking forward to meeting you in my dream. There is your blood, the smell of your sweat, the smell of your tobacco, and my love... Can you spot him, ENNIS? Seeing those two shirts that depended on each other, JACK's shirt was wrapped in his own shirt, ENNIS was completely shocked! ——Isn't that the shirt that Jack washed for himself in the river water in the bitter cold 20 years ago. My dearest love, from now on, let me hold you forever! Let me fix the collar for you and fasten the button, okay? ... Is it too late for all this? Will you resent me? ......ENNIS changed JACK's shirt into it, letting his own warmth take care of the sustenance of JACK's soul. Jack, I swear...Although Jack never asked him to take any oaths, even though Jack could never hear anymore... "There was once a "friendship" that gradually became a secret. There is such a place that we can never go back. There are some lies that we have to maintain and those past events will be remembered at this moment" ——<
