1. Sheep
symbolic one: God in the Garden of Eden favorite animal.
Symbol 2: The flock is the society. In English, "FOLLOWING LIKE SHEEP" can be translated into the mentality of the flock, or to follow the crowd. JACK and ENNIS have always been outside the flock, not one of them.
2. The dead sheep found on the second day of ENNIS's first night symbolizes the final loss of ENNIS's innocence. Sheep being cut, the symbol of revealing concealed the fact that was revealed
at the same time, the man who killed his father died only seen a kid goat symbol ENNIS, also indicates that the final outcome JACK - stray sheep's final was sinister .
3. BROKEBACK symbolizes the last straw in the straw pile, and it is also the thing that bears the most pressure
. JACK's last name is TWIST, the original meaning is twist, twist, that is to say, it is not straight. Not a "straight man"
5. ENNIS DEL MAR ENNIS is ISLAND, DEL MAR is OF THE SEA. Symbolizes ENNIS's introverted and isolated character.
6. Red is a symbol of happiness, marriage and childbirth in the Chinese people's eyes. When JACK met LAUREEN for the first time, LAUREEN's red hat fell in front of him. He picked it up and returned it to LAUREEN. Four years later, JACK wore a red TSHIRT and met with ENNIS.
7. JACK’s wife LAUREEN’s beautiful golden wig implies a false marriage, and the camera deliberately gave her fake red nails when talking on the phone with ENNIS. In English, FAKE NAILS=FAKE STORY is a false story. Therefore, she said that the cause of JACK's death should be fabricated for herself.
Attentive audiences can see that at the beginning of the movie, a truck was driving from right to left in the dark, and finally ENNIS got out of the car with a yellow paper bag in his hand, which contained all his valuable belongings. At the end of the movie, ENNIS put the two shirts together in the yellow paper bag and left JACK's house. Then again, a truck disappeared into the night, the difference is that this time the direction is from left to right.
Joe Aguirre farmer, a symbol of power and authority-government, society. If BROKEBACK MOUTAIN symbolizes JACK and ENNIS’s Eden (EDEN), then JOE AGUIRRE symbolizes the Judging Supervision (JUDGEMENT). At the beginning, the farmer listed a series of rules, such as NO FIRE, etc., and Jack said he didn’t. Right lets us do things that violate the laws of nature (He's got no business making us to do sth against the rules). In the end, they not only burned the fire, but also made the love in their hearts intensified.
When JACK said that we should be together and we should not be separated, which violated the laws of love and fate (AGAINST THE RULES OF LOVE AND FATE), ENNIS did not answer. He looked far away and he was educated to respect power and authority. ENNIS's father played a very important role in his life, especially after his death. ENNIS has always treated him as a god and a dogma. Although ENNIS also understands Jack’s love, just like his “STICKING TO THE BEANS” attitude towards life, he obeys a series of dogma listed-God, society, father, farmer of. Until he killed an elk, he finally found a way to make JACK face the physical and psychological hunger. But then, the farmer discovered their secret and disrupted their utopian love.
8. The boss knew they were GAY: When JACK went back the next year, he said you two are not getting paid to let dog babysit the sheep while you\ were stemming the rose stem the rose, rose refers to the anus stem refers to the penis
9. The movie is finally brought to the window, which represents going out and staying in the closet. It is up to ENNIS to decide by himself.
10. The Thanksgiving section: The manhood of two people is challenged at the same time, while the Texas scene is watching American football, and the Wyoming scene is watching the ice. Skating means that the man who ALMA later remarried was actually not that masculine. He also used an electric knife to cut the turkey. When the two men's character was challenged, they fought back fiercely. JACK fought back against his father-in-law, and ENNIS fought back against his wife and was kicked out. After going out,
they fought with passers-by 11. They jumped into the river naked together, which means that they fell in love at the same time, and there is no protection at all
. And every time they are together again, the moon is full, and when they are together with their love, they feel round
13. On the last day on the mountain, when ENNIS knew they had to leave, he was very depressed sitting on the top of the mountain alone. JACK came over and "hooked" him with a rope. First he trapped his heart and then shackled him with a rope.
14. How did Jack in the beginning? Will you know the address of Ennis's home?
The postcard he sent is: general delivery, which was the method used by the U.S. Post to send to people who don’t know the address, but you need to know where it is, because ENNIS hasn’t moved very far. In those two or three small towns, JACK sent general delivery
15. And ENNIS finally put number 17 on the mailbox: Brokeback Mountain has exactly 17 letters
16.Even the whiskey brand he drinks is knowledgeable. The brand is Old Rose. I remember that Rose represents the anus. Most Americans don't know this usage. It should be rarely used by people and very regional. The original has heard it. ), and there is a song Whiskey Rose, which describes masculinity.
17. In the end, JACK’s clothes include clothes that live in ENNIS, which means that JACK is willing to support ENNIS and love ENNIS forever. But after ENNIS takes away the clothes, wrap his clothes with JACK, which expresses what ENNIS said "I SWEAR" in action- -Willing to guard the love between the two of them for life. ================================================== =========
Netizens' comments:
I don’t think it was his wife who killed it, because Jack’s wife was still so gorgeous and bright red after Jack’s death. That “should” only means that his wife was not sad about Jack’s death. The minimum trust and attachment to relatives no longer exist, as can be seen from the indifference in the dialogue. (Frozen three feet is not a cold day. In the movie, the two Jacks no longer invited his wife to dance together, indicating that the husband and his wife have "lost the intention of courtship", so when he chooses to dance with others, he chooses other Female companion, his wife just accustomed to expressing that he could not understand what the husband was thinking, which meant that his wife had "lost jealousy". After Jack died, Jack's father informed Ennis that Jack was planning to divorce his wife. , It is even more reminiscent that these two couples do not know when they should have been in the marital status of the hexagram name. Of course, I don’t know whether wearing fake nails has other meanings. So I don’t think Jack was killed by his wife hired by someone, because this financially independent wife has been disregarding and affirming his husband’s obvious suspicion of having an affair for a long time. No matter how busy she is at work, she would go all the way to Brokeback Mountain, which should be a lie to her. Jack’s wife is not an introverted woman who has never met. It should be said that her personality and Jack are also very outgoing. Many signs are reasonable to know that my husband, regardless of important work, takes a leave of absence to meet his lover. (It can be seen from her asking why Jack drives to find each other every time. She just doesn’t say anything: she doesn’t believe in anything. Mountain, go on a date when you go on a date. What is the reason for Brokeback Mountain and Ennis to lie to her?), I don’t know if she really doesn’t know that Ennis really exists, but it’s certain that she has never been I have always known Jack’s obvious behavior of emotional development, but what she and Jack later maintained was not a husband-and-wife relationship, but a working partnership. She was devoted to her career and did not waste time on jealousy and suspicion, so the two of them started from They have been married for a long time, and the only thing that maintains them for a long time is work.) During the conversation between his wife and Ennis, it was audible that Jack’s wife had long been credited with Jack. She felt that Jack was a liar and had not told her the truth, so his wife did not believe that there was a broken back. Shanhe might really have Ennis, until Ennis told Jack’s wife that they had been herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain before, and Jack’s wife shed tears after listening (presumably: this is very likely after Jack’s death. His wife felt sad and tears for Jack’s death for the first time, because the two couples lost their trust long ago. From a sentence from Ennis, Jack’s wife learned that Brokeback Mountain really existed, "Really "Yes" this place she doesn't believe in existence.) Jack told her the truth, Jack's wife was in tears, and her cool face that had been frozen for a long time suddenly became emotional, which made her feel very unaccustomed, so she was also rude Forgetting the politeness of the upper-class society and the perfect utterance of calm reciting, but rudely interrupted Ennis's phone. Of course, it could also be explained that she only showed jealousy at this time. I remember she was a long time ago. I have forgotten how to be jealous. After knowing that there was a tear from Brokeback Mountain, it was revealed that she still has feelings for Jack. He told the phone that Jack’s favorite person was Ennis’s phone, which indicated her I no longer expressed hypocritical friendliness to him. Maybe the reason she hung up so quickly was because she was afraid that Ennis would come and ask Jack's half to keep her ashes, because she now knew that there was Brokeback Mountain. , But she could leave ashes on the grounds that Brokeback Mountain did not exist, but now Ennis has confirmed that Brokeback Mountain does exist, then what is the reason for leaving the ashes? All in all, the action of hanging up the phone made me think again and again, how to think that every reason is reasonable, alas, this film is really an art film, and there is no formulaic answer. Also, I think in this movie, the existence of the two wives is well explained, and the poor characters implicated in life are performed boldly. The two female roles in the original book do not have a high proportion in the novel, but Their presence and facial expressions in the movie are more than those explained in the novel, and the encounters of the four protagonists have made me understand and cherish more. None of the four have got the life they really want. Talking about Ennis’s wife, from her showdown to Ennis, it can be seen that although she hates Ennis, she still has affection for him, because she has seen a lot of gossip news about his wife catching an affair, and she often has affection for her husband. The woman who scolded was the XX vixen, but the woman who had no affection for her husband (take my family’s ugliness as an example), the woman scolded was the fascinating stallion man, but the wife in Ennis scolded Jack as a When a disgusting ghost, Jack was the vixen who snatched her husband in the eyes of Ennis’s wife, but she didn’t scold Ennis for being bothersome, because from the point of view of another girl later, everyone can see that Ennis’s personality is actually very difficult. It's a big deal with Huaxin, because Ennis is not a person with a wonderful private life, but everyone wants to spend his life with him. If Jack does not appear, Ennis's wife will help him no matter how hard the life is. Washing clothes, Ennis’s wife’s most unbearable thing is not Ennis’s poverty (poor is an excuse for her divorce) but Ennis’s heart has other people, he makes her feel like she doesn’t exist in his life, He was not focused and protected enough for the home she valued. Later, she finally had a way to leave Ennis and marry a man who would put her at heart and concentrate on a family and work. So Ennis’s wife is the same as Jack’s. These two independent women are trying to find other goals for them to live well, and they have also freed themselves from the emotional and ideal dependence on the two men. The road is not easy to walk, they also hide their hearts and grievances deeply, but when Ennis’ ex-wife called Jack a disgusting ghost, Jack’s wife burst into tears when they heard that Brokeback Mountain really existed. The true temperament that has always been hidden under the mask of perfect calmness, Ennis’s always hardworking wife divorced Ennis on the grounds that Ennis was too poor, and the person she deeply hated was actually Jack. She told Ennis about her psychology. Ennis must be deeply shocked at this time. At this time, Ennis only thought that this woman might have harmed Jack and his safety and was angry at her, but he did not think deeply about his ex-wife except for expressing grievances. Doesn’t it contain the grievances of not getting Ennis’ complete love? Let’s talk about Jack again. I think Jack was molded into a gay guy in the movie who actually wanted to come out but was warned by Ennis that it’s dangerous to come out. It’s very obvious from a friend I know and a movie I’ve seen so far. In the drama version, many gay men who have come out are quite good at dressing themselves up (of course it’s not clear whether everyone is like this). Jack had his own taste in clothes when he was a poor boy, and he was rich. The latter dress is even more handsome and you can go to the catwalk. According to the film commentary, when the film was made, I really paid for a gay man who came out to be the film director, just to make the story look more reasonable and can make up for it. Visual impressions that are invisible in the novel (and of course the sultry sex scene), so in Jack’s dress and eyes, it can be said that the movie is actually a small detail, which is a digression. In addition to the sorrow of the two wives not getting love, Jack’s life is absolutely no less sorrow than the two ladies. I remember someone said that Ennis’s charm endangered the long lives of the three people, and the person he was most sorry for was his ex-wife. , Jack turned into a workaholic wife, and then Jack who has been pursuing him and waiting for his promise. Jack is a very outgoing person. He has a rebellious look in his independence. He will say he doesn't like what he doesn't like. Such a straightforward person, Jack changes after encountering Ennis. From Ennis said he When he was not gay, Jack also replied that I didn’t even start. Jack is no longer the boy who likes and dislikes. He starts to worry about a lot of things, because when he meets Ennis, he doesn’t want to be Ennis. Rejection, plus he took the initiative to pursue Ennis, so Jack put his posture very low from the beginning (from the first night's love posture, that posture in addition to representing the zero number and the meaning of Shoujun in the gay circle, There is also a meaning: to obey and to be enslaved.) In order to get close to Ennis, Jack took his rebellious personality and began to endure the unbearable situation. Ennis didn’t dare to refute anything he said, and he felt distressed. With Ennis’s fear, every time he held Ennis like a nine-year-old child, only Jack knew that Ennis lived in Ennis’s heart with a nine-year-old Ennis, the little boy who was terrified by his father and the corpse. , So Jack's love for Ennis is very difficult to describe. Maybe before Jack met Ennis, he had never seen a person like Ennis who was indifferent in appearance, serious in work, hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Ennis is the kind of person who will not give up life no matter how hard he is, and he will not give up life because of hardship. People, he doesn’t even know how to entertain. It seems that Ennis is such a boring person, so why can he attract an ex-wife who is a childhood sweetheart who can wash clothes for the beloved happily, and he also attracts those who are deeply troubled by shepherd work and want to be a cowboy? Jack, after the divorce, he attracted the admiring eyes of the bright and beautiful blond lady. I thought about the reason they like Ennis, although I still don’t know what the reason is. I think Ennis’s ex-wife wants loyalty. A man who focuses on protecting her and her family, and a man who is serious about his career is a good family. Lord, no matter how poor life is, as long as he protects the family wholeheartedly, then he is her heaven. What she wants is a very ordinary family meaning. What Ennis couldn’t afford to give her was actually dedicated protection to the family. When Ennis gave a few perfunctory explanations and used fishing as an excuse to go out, Ennis’s ex-wife cried in her arms with the child who was not sensible. He put aside his work in order to meet Jack. Ennis was distracted. Nice’s greatest persuasiveness in getting his wife to obey him gradually collapsed at this time. She could bear that he threw the child to her for work, because he was working for the family, so she was willing to sacrifice everything for the family, but she couldn’t forgive her. Ennis, who no longer regards work as the focus and only wants to be gentle with his lover, because a stable job is equal to the protection of the family. Ennis, who is no longer loyal to work, has also lost the gentleness of his ex-wife willing to wash clothes for the head of the family. She didn't want a man who was no longer loyal to her and her family. Even though she might still have a touch of affection for him, when she finally decided that she had other choices, she was lucky enough to choose a man who could concentrate on protecting her and her family. And the reason why that beautiful and funny blond lady would like Ennis, she said, she said that she would not like a man because he is funny. This girl is very lively and extroverted just like Jack. Seductively dressed and lively, it can be seen that she is not a man who has never seen a funny man, but she still falls in love with Ennis who can't even speak clearly, but she did not reserve to pursue Ennis, and was rejected by Ennis. Heartbroken. In fact, her love is understandable. What she wants is an emotional haven, just like everyone wants. Ennis, who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, makes her willing to belong, and Ennis makes her willing to give up the pursuit of the game world. But Ennis refused her, and the lively and beautiful lady also wept. Of course, Jack shed tears for Ennis, and the scene of driving is not nonsense. It feels very sad to think that there will be the cause and effect of that scene. Jack changed from a hearty personality with a smiling face to a deep face with a smile without a smile. He was tortured by love. The change in Jack's expression showed the change in his mood. The day he could not get Ennis’ promise. , Jack’s mood changed after he abandoned himself and drove to Mexico to buy spring. After that, he no longer looked at Ennis with a happy smile as before, and his eyes began to avoid Ennis’s. At the last meeting with Ennis, he scolded Ennis and felt powerless and resentful for his inseparable attachment to Ennis, Jack made Ennis weep. ) At this time, Ennis may be thinking of Jack actually having a relationship with other men. Ennis was jealous at Jack, angry that he was not Jack’s only man, Ennis cried in front of Jack, and Jack Seeing Ennis being hurt, Jack's heart softened, and he calmed Ennis like a frightened little Ennis who was holding his mind at the age of nine as he did in the past. At this time, Jack may have secretly decided to leave unfeelingly. Ennis went to find the life he wanted. Although he watched Ennis go away, his eyes still couldn’t move away from Ennis’s direction. For a long time, the decision to leave Ennis didn’t seem to be a relief to him. It’s just that he has been desperate and tired of pursuing Ennis and the future envisioned for the two for many years. Before going to Mexico, his dream of living with Ennis alone was broken. After that time, he knew that he would never be able to live with Ennis. Let alone meet upright, let alone live with extravagant hopes. His eyes are filled with despair and resentment, and he can’t wait for dreams to have any hopes to come true. Jack, who used to smile all the time, loses his smiling face and no longer feels good. Nice’s opinion is obeyed (this is the causality of death caused by Jack may be discovered by homophobics because of his sexuality (I secretly believe that Jack was lynched). Even if Jack flirted with others, his sexuality was known by the ranch owner with his head down. I have accepted it, but I think he is no longer so low-key after he was hurt by Ennis. From the moment he went to Mexico to find a male prostitute, the meaning of the beard's initiative to approach him is that Jack's identity as a gay is no secret, except It means that he is no longer loyal to Ennis (tolerating undisclosed sexuality), There is also his rebellious nature. After obeying Ennis for many years, he woke up again. He used what he hated to show his hatred personality. After losing his expectation of Ennis, Jack lost his willingness to do for himself. His sexuality is secretly kept secret and restrained by sacrifice (not being loyal to his body (looking for a male prostitute) and hiding his sexuality (maybe gay beards are approaching him on the initiative)). Let’s talk about Ennis, he is actually the most pitiful, although this poor man also has something to hate (his ex-wife will become a poor woman is caused by him, and Jack barely maintains a marriage for many years, Jack thought a long time ago Divorced, but Ennis’s words dispelled Jack’s thoughts.) Although Ennis is a very sad character, but the hateful person has a pitiful place... I think that it is possible that he will live alone in a trailer all his life. Except for the old clothes of the dead lover in the closet, there is nothing else. I really feel desolate in his old age. I think he may always live in regret of indirectly killing Jack and fear of being killed by others. However, Ennis, who is desperate, will definitely keep Jack's chastity forever. There is also the person who plays his daughter, who has a long face that looks like Ennis. Why do I think that the people in this movie really existed before? I want to wake up quickly.
