Everyone has a "Brokeback Mountain" in their hearts, and many people interpret this work in this way.
This has also become the most widely spread interpretation of Brokeback Mountain.
Someone asked Ang Li why he said that. Ang Li replied that when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, he also said that everyone had a sword of blue underworld. When "The Hulk", he also said that everyone There is a Hulk.

Ang Li is a bit cunning and never talks about the themes of his works, leaving it to everyone to interpret.

In the film, Brokeback Mountain presented by Ang Lee, the water and grass are luxuriant, and the sky is pure, like a paradise on earth.
But their respective lives are always full of challenges, unbearable and compromised.

It is precisely because of this contrast that the audience is full of empathy for the protagonist at the end of the film, almost forgetting that this is a gay-themed film. It can be said that Ang Lee borrowed the theme of homosexuality to talk about the broad theme of love. Homosexuality basically exists as a background of resistance to love.

Ang Lee arranged all the difficulties in life to challenge the two loved ones, ethical, social, other people, affectionate, life pressure, and finally ended in an external depression when Jack died, swearing with Ennis Guarding the inner rising ending of this relationship for a lifetime.

In fact, although Ennis seems to be more stable in life,
he hesitates a lot more emotionally than Jack. He is concerned about gains and losses, and
feels that a few days off together is just fine, and he can't help himself.

But Jack is willing to protect Ennis with his whole life
. There is a future in his blueprint, there is Brokeback Mountain forever,
and he is resolutely willing to wrap Ennis' shirt with his own shirt.

Although Ennis couldn't respond to him decades later,
even though Jack said he was going to run a farm with another person, Jack still kept Ennis' shirt.

Emotionally, Ennis is a taker, he is afraid of getting close, afraid of getting hurt.

But in the finale, Ennis put his shirt outside Jack, and finally changed his attitude of avoiding his daughter.
Knowing that his presence at the wedding is important to her daughter, and deciding to attend the wedding,
Ennis showed his attitude. Really transform.

What is love?
I remember that when I was in college, a problem was discussed in the dormitory:
some animals such as lions and tigers, if they want to enter the forest, which one
should be taken, use this to test what you value most.

Only one roommate chose to bring a peacock, and this shows that he values ​​love most.
Asked him why, he said that if one keeps a peacock, the peacock can't live a good life.

This is not the standard answer, but the answer that shocked me the most.

In the face of love, it is too easy for us to think about what we can get.
Only those who truly understand love understand that the real problem is what the other person needs.

So Ennis said to the postcard, I swear. He understood this truth.
I believe that at that moment, Brokeback Mountain, which marked their love, has also become a kind of beautiful eternity.
