A First Look at "Brokeback Mountain"

Kacie 2022-03-16 09:01:02

At first glance, "Brokeback Mountain" was

overly calm. The moderate
media said it was a Western story told with Eastern methods. The poster showed the silhouette of two men wearing cowboy hats. Behind them is the snow-covered Brokeback Mountain. There is a slowness in the trailer. The fireworks were set off, the two people smiled faintly in the mountains, the sheep running in the flock, playing Qinxuan's guitar. So it can be roughly speculated that this will be an undercurrent of love, just like a cold current in the ocean meets a warm current, the surface is calm, and the underwater waves are rolling. After two hours of chaotic viewing, my little speculation was confirmed. The love of two men may be the best in this way.
Maybe it was because they knew the storyline before, or maybe the story before they didn’t fall in love had any conflicts. At first, the days when the two got along with Brokeback Mountain were dumbfounded by me. I just bowed my head and tried to identify the rural Wyoming of Eniss with subtitles. Accent, you can occasionally see Jack's eyes looking forward. It wasn't until the morning after that night that Eniss indifferently packed his gear and turned and rode away, leaving Jack with a dazed expression. I really started to look away from the subtitles, a little worried. Many film critics and media have said that the first half of this episode reflects Li Ang’s delicate handling of emotional dramas as an Eastern director and the special approach of Eastern directors, and they greatly appreciate this. This is undoubtedly another addition to the gay theme of "Brokeback Mountain". Highlights-but such so-called "calm" is "boring", or "plain" to the audience. On the other hand, let’s not mention that "Brokeback Mountain" won Venice for the time being (this is naturally because Venice has always favored literary films). At the beginning of 2006, Ang Lee took the crew to the Golden Globe and took away several important items. For the grand prize, the Oscar nomination was also solemnly unveiled yesterday, and "Brokeback Mountain" alone has eight nominations. The Golden Ball Oscar loves "Brokeback Mountain" so much, which also shows that "Brokeback Mountain" is quite satisfactory.

About the show
The indifferent feeling to me seems to be related to Heath’s performance. He was silent and evasive from beginning to end. When Jack left Brokeback Mountain, he just hid in the corner and beat the wall by himself until the end of the film. He watched. The two shirts set together and the photo of Brokeback Mountain burst into tears, but they only burst into tears. They are not like Ma Jingtao's roar and burst of veins when the hero and the heroine are separated in the Qiong Yao TV series, so it is a depression from beginning to end. Depressed to breathe, want to cry but can't cry. Heath’s handling was very well done. The United States in the 1960s was very conservative, especially in the West, where homosexuality was suppressed in every way. When Eniss saw the death of his gay neighbor when he was a child, the horror surrounding him was the cloud that has always surrounded him, which made him so. The reason for the hesitation, on the one hand, he loves Jack deeply, on the other hand, he feels the invisible pressure from the outside world. Heath makes all this in the silent hammering of the wall and the clenched hands and dodges every time Jack kisses. There was a peaceful explosion in his lips.
This kind of peace is scary, and no longer erupts in silence, and then perishes in silence. Their love perishes in a moment of silence, just when Eniss refuses to move with Jack.
It was Jack who chased stubbornly all the way and persisted. The real name of the actor playing Jack is Jake, and his interpretation of Jack makes it difficult for me to let go. From the sneak shot when he first met to the excitement when he met again four years later, he performed just right. Later, he learned that Eniss was divorced and rushed to live with him, but Eniss directly refused. On the way back, he drove the car and looked ahead, tears streaming down little by little. This shocked my heart and was a little surprised. I didn't know he would be so straightforward. This seemed to be quite different from the implicit style of Director Ang Lee. I think of his performance in "Proof", facing the collapse of a genius mathematician girlfriend and being caught off guard when he was autistic; in "The Day After Tomorrow" he was wrong when he ran and faced the cold wisdom; yes, this is Jake. , His performance was not as calm as Heath's, but it was like a rough jade, with a moving light flashing everywhere. The Golden Globes did not give the best supporting actor nomination to this new-generation actor who was born the same year as me, but the Oscar solemnly counted him. Judging from the number of nominations for "Brokeback Mountain" (eight items), Oscar gave a comprehensive affirmation of "Brokeback Mountain", which naturally also includes Jake. Very happy for Jake.

Don’t bother with time.
Afterwards, even Eniss’s daughter is married, but he is still what he was 20 years ago. What is extra is a little beard, and even the jacket was worn when he was in Brokeback Mountain 20 years ago. Yes, he looks so young that one can never think that it is the father whose daughter is already married. Jack has two more beards under his nose, and a little beer belly, but his immature face is still immature. I really want to say, Big Brother Artist, you are too irresponsible. At any rate, twenty years have passed. Even if everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts, the time is still passing by every minute, why two people Nothing has changed. Good make-up will give actors good psychological hints, help them to enter the scene quickly when they are playing the color, and also help the audience better understand the plot. Now when there is nothing, these two people can make the last It’s a challenge for acting to make a lot of tears in a part of life and death. Artist, brother, you have neglected your duty. Oscar has affirmed everyone in music. Why don’t you be the only one, reflect on it.
Don't bother with time. I always feel that by the end of the day, the two of them have already lived a heavenly life in Brokeback Mountain. During that period, we should only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.

Soundtrack
I do not know the evaluation criteria soundtrack, in my mind, a good soundtrack is fueling the plot when watching movies, listening alone when you can reproduce the movie scene. The first part of "The Lord of the Rings" and the first part of "Harry Potter" meet my criteria, and then this is "Brokeback Mountain". The whole album uses a wooden guitar throughout, interspersed with many old country songs, every time I listen to it, I feel a sense of peace and tranquility. It’s almost necessary to hear the final "He is a friend of mine". I shed tears. In the movie, this is the ending song. Probably because it is the theme song, the original soundtrack put it in the second place, but I still arranged it in the order of the movie. When I put it at the end, I always feel that it is the whole feeling of Eniss for Jack. . There is also a song "I don't want to say goodbye", which seems to see Eniss's stunned expression when he heard Jack's death again, and the sound of heartbreak can be heard.

I just watched it in a hurry. The poor translation makes people want to hit the wall. I must watch it again. When I look up again, maybe I have something to say. I will only stop here today and stop the crude insights.


In addition, to make a digression, I always feel that Jake is a character from the comics, with big eyes and long eyelashes, a straight and slightly upturned nose, rosy cheeks with a little hairy, brown slightly curly hair, tall and tall. It looks like a baby face, so cute~~~ (Khan, little nympho), over, it’s a long story......
