After leaving Brokeback Mountain, Ennis and Jack are like most ordinary people, falling in love, getting married, and having children. The restrained and reticent Ennis found Alma, his good wife and mother, and the daring and mischievous Jack found the wild stunner Lureen, each with his own joy in the love process. But after getting married, the daily trivialities began to suffocate. Ennis's family always quarreled over chai, rice, oil and salt. Because the money is not enough, I am always looking for a job, whether to move or not, and there is no consensus on who takes care of the children. Even if I am afraid that I can't afford to have an unexpected pregnancy, my sex life is not going well. Until they quarreled in the supermarket about who to pick up the children, the two children cried and broke the shelves, and their lives collapsed like shelves, breaking into a disaster scene. Jack's family has never stopped. The war between the home son-in-law Jack and the farmer's father-in-law for the dominance of the family has never ceased, and the wife is only interested in the accounts and ignores everything that is happening in front of her. The collapse Ennis and Jack faced has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It is the suffocation that most people experience in their married life. It is the powerlessness, frustration, depression, and depression of a socialized adult caught in the quagmire of life.
At this time, the two recalled their previous days in Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback Mountain is not in cities and towns. It is far away from society and is a vast world without the discipline of daily life. It was the most free, unrestrained, and willful wandering day. In the distance are silent snow-capped mountains, big floating clouds, vast grasslands, clear springs, and jubilant flocks in front of you. There is also a guitar tune heard by the audience, which is simple and romantic. When you are hungry, you will start cooking in the most primitive way, and when it is cold, you will hide in your tent. Happy to fight with each other, lonely and snuggle together. With a flick of the whip, the steed under the hip flew up. There are no taboos stipulated by the society, and for the only kind, the passion of emotion is natural. There is no worries about making money, the work and leadership that have to be dealt with, mortgages, performance, children's crying, partners' complaints, and the grievances of three aunts and eight wives. Compared to living in the liberating nature, family life is like a cage. The only worry is the wolves that come and go from time to time, but for cowboys, dealing with wolves is much easier than dealing with family life.
Looking back, the moment he was expelled from Brokeback Mountain, it was like Adam and Eve had been expelled from the Garden of Eden and could never go back.
I think it is strange to use Brokeback Mountain as the banner of the Tongquan Movement. The same-sex setting here is more like a negative contrast to traditional married life. The essence is to talk about unsocialized feelings and desires that have not been modified by civilization. Rather than transcending gender, it is better to transcend sexual orientation (according to today's mainstream distinction, Ennis is a straight male and Jack is a bi). In other words, gender and sexual orientation are not important at all. It can also be the Madison Bridge in the Last Dream of the Covered Bridge, the Ice and Fire Island in the Legend of the Dragon and the Dragon, like fog like rain and like wind in the wind. A paradise, "return to the desert to go hunting on horseback" in Tianlong Babu. It is the most authentic and useless feeling after a person has stripped off all social attributes. It is what we lose in the process of being socialized. When life is suffocated to the point of crying without tears, there is no escape, Brokeback Mountain, is everyone's inner thoughts about freedom for a moment, not being swallowed by the daily mess.
