Some people say that this year our tears were all deceived by two men and a gorilla. Whether we
were "deceived" or not is not the point. The key is whether you really shed tears. In the movie, it doesn't matter who you cry for, Romeo and Juliet, or two unknown cowboys. Although Ang Lee's phrase "Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts" feels a bit artificial. , Hollywood gave the Golden Man to
Don't artificially give
The story takes place in Ohio in the 1960s. Two cows from different regions, Jack and Ennis, apply for day labor at the same time in order to make a living, and go to Brokeback Mountain to herd sheep. The communication was extremely backward and the people were sparsely populated. They got along day and night in a difficult living environment, and gradually developed feelings. However, the social concept at that time was still very conservative, and there was no way for them to live together. After the summer shepherd, they had to go their separate ways. , looking for their own future. They both later got married, had families, and found jobs, and just as their lives were starting to get on track, Jack couldn't help but think about finding ways to find Ennis. Out of control, they began to agree that every 4 years in August, they would deceive their family members and secretly go to Brokeback Mountain for a date on the grounds of fishing.
However, Jack is not satisfied with this kind of thread. For 20 years, he has been proposing to fly away with Ennis and stay together forever. As long as he has a word, he can even immediately abandon everything he has, career, fame, money, status, family But Ennis was always hesitant, he couldn't leave his daughter alone. Ennis' indecision deeply stabbed Jack, he didn't want to be so sneaky, but he couldn't leave Ennis, he really loved him so much.
Later, Jack GAY's identity was exposed. His car had an accidental puncture on the road. When he got off the car and was about to repair it, he was besieged and attacked by social prejudice people. He was beaten to death with an iron rod, and his body was Dragged into the grass.
Ennis didn't know about Jack's death at first, until a year later, when the postcard he sent was returned with "Recipient Dead" printed on it. He didn't know that Jack was dead.
Ennis Found Jack's parents and learned about Jack's plan during his lifetime. He plans to divorce his wife and live on Brokeback Mountain with a guy named Ennis. He even sold the farm , But at this moment, he had an accident.
Ennis was allowed to take one of Jack's belongings. Jack's room was empty, except for a shirt hanging in the closet. Ennis was surprised to find that it was his own, it turned out that he Thought I had accidentally dropped it, but unexpectedly Jack stole it back and hung it with Jack's own shirt. The two shirts cuddled with each other, as if they were one - for the past 20 years , Jack used this method to resolve the endless thoughts of Ennis.
Ennis realized that the most important thing in his life was taken away like this, and the most important person to him was gone like this. However, It was too late for regret and guilt. Ennis could only hold his lover's relic in grief and cry silently.
The plot of this film is flat and the structure is very loose. There is no scorching confession or crying The sadness. But it still touched the world and moved deeply. The whole film presents a Hemingway style, rough and succinct. Every film scene is very clean and concise, like Hemingway's short sentences, not sloppy, and oriental. The subtle, euphemistic and ingenious fusion together makes people refreshing. After watching it, I only feel that it is elegant and elegant, and has a profound meaning.
I think the reason "Brokeback Mountain" was so successful was not that Ang Lee had chosen a relatively obscure and controversial homosexual genre, but rather its realism.
There are a few people in our lives who can do exactly what we want Willing to live? How many people can control their own destiny from beginning to end? Objects, our pain comes from our passivity, our passivity comes from our cowardice. This is the inherent weakness of human nature. Heroes and warriors are only The myth of a few people. Like Jack and Ennis in the movie, they can be transformed into fighters who stand against secular prejudice, why get married, why do they have to raise children, and become a loyal couple of life and death, and achieve a modern male and female version Romeo and Juliet Ordinary people, even ordinary people are a bit mediocre and decadent -- this is where Ang Lee is brilliant and cruel. He doesn't give their love any chance to embellish, but lets it live naked in the In an organic life.
They are concerned about the vision of the society, they start a family, start a career, and strive to be a "normal person" recognized by the society; in the face of love, they have a lot of worries, too much reluctance and unbearable, hesitant- --------In real life, how many people can ignore social evaluation? How many people can not be fettered by worldly material
? Their psychological shackles, they have never been freed throughout their lives, struggling in the whirlpool of betrayal and responsibility, they love each other but can't stay together, they can only reminisce about a handful of meetings in the long 20 years, in the huge guilt It is the movie that shows the helplessness of life so vividly that Jack 's
perseverance is so moving. You can say that he is unfaithful, you can say that he betrayed his family, but he But his love for Ennis is sincere and deadly. He has his weaknesses, but he is stronger than Ennis. He can give up everything for Ennis, but Ennis cannot. His cowardice is largely Ennis Caused. The life he chose was also the result of following Ennis.
When Jack heard about Ennis' divorce, he excitedly drove 14 hours to find him, thinking that he could finally live with Ennis. But Ennis was worried about public opinion and still rejected him.
"Okay then . , I'll come back later."
Jack pretended to shrug his shoulders casually, but his face was faintly twitching -- this expression made my heart twitch, and the softest part of my heart seemed to be touched by something. A stab.
Jack came in dusty and got nothing, he had to go back in dusty again, drive another 14 hours in the car, back to where he lives------ that he can do back." "Normal people" place.
Jack cried in the car. And my eyes were wet.
I believe this is a scene that touched many people. Jack was disappointed and hurt again and again, but he still loved Ennis, who is cowardly and hesitant, still loves, even though it is a desperate love.
Jack is a distressed character. When he echoes Ennis and says, "Neither am I. Glass", when he was crying, when he said "FOR EVERY FUCKING FOUR YEARS?" to Ennis---------you will be moved by those melancholy and helpless eyes unconsciously, You will feel the Milky Way collapse, and something is pouring down from your heart.
But this is life, and when you feel your heartache for Jack, you also feel your heartache for your inherent cowardice.
