………………Hint: I am the dividing line………………

Serious spoilers, children’s shoes who haven’t seen it, beware.

………………Reminder: I am the dividing line………………



After watching Brokeback Mountain yesterday, I felt heartache, depression and suffocation.

After watching it for the first time, I lay quietly on the bed, thinking about the plot of the movie in my mind.

After taking a shower, I came back and planned to see another work by Heath Ledger, "The Dark Knight".
However, the bitter and bitter feeling in my heart lingered for a long time, and I was not in the mood to watch it. OK, give up.
I wandered around the Internet casually, but I really couldn't get any interest. Instead, I opened "Brokeback Mountain" and watched it again in its entirety.
This is the first time I've watched a movie again after only 2 hours of it.
I'm amazed at how much I love this movie, I don't know why, I'm just in.


Thinking of the passion of Jack and Ennis in the tent for the first time, the surging love finally broke out in the cold night. Thinking of Ennis

saying to Jack: "I ain't queer." Jack said with a gloomy expression and stubbornness: "me neither."

She shrank in her arms for warmth and solace.

Thinking of Jack comforting Ennis softly: "It's all right, it's all right...", comforting Ennis with the warmth of his palm.

Thinking of the scene where Jack turned over half-naked, this time, everything was peaceful, everything was nice.

Thinking of Jack and Ennis flirting like a newlywed, unfortunately, only in the breakback mountain.

Thinking of Jack looking at Ennis in the car's rearview mirror, the helpless look in his eyes.

Thinking of Ennis crouching in the corner shivering, crying, banging his head against the wall, roaring after Jack's car disappeared.



………… Hint: I am the dividing line. Allow me to be a little in the mood……………

Writing here, recalling here, I really can’t write anymore, they are too bitter. Too bitter.

………… Hint: I am the dividing line. Allow me to be a little in the mood......




Thinking about the situation when they met again four years later, I hugged each other tightly to release my thoughts. They breathed a sigh of relief in the movie, and I curled up the corners of my mouth in front of the screen, wanting to smile. The other person's body, smell, temperature, face, how many times have they felt it in their dreams...

Thinking of the scene where Ennis was waiting for Jack to show up, he looked anxiously at the window while playing with a lighter, smoking a cigarette and drinking wine. , frowning nervously in anticipation; finally, he sat on the sofa by the door, closed his eyes and just waited quietly, the lamp cabinet and the coffee table were filled with beer bottles. In the background, his wife Alma has been busy with the housework for the day, and all of Ennis's heart is with Jack. The wife said, "I think we should get a babysitter." Ennis didn't respond. Ennis just wanted to wait quietly for Jack to show up, then rush up to hug and kiss hard.

When he thought about the sound of the car, Ennis's sleeping body seemed to react, he opened his closed eyes, and quickly walked to the window, watching Jack drive approaching and getting out of the car, Ennis's expressionless face actually smiled, like a very The expression of a child secretly having something good, secretly enjoying himself. Ennis hurried out the door, not forgetting to organize his clothes (tuck his shirt into his jeans). Ennis short stay, who ran out of the house, opened his hands and said heartily, "Jack fucking Twist", then ran down the stairs and hugged Jack tightly.

Next, should it be a kiss that turns into a miss? The moment they let go of each other, they almost couldn't help kissing each other, but they didn't dare. Ennis drags Jack to the corner.....You know what happened...
It's a scene of joy and heartache, is it doomed to be gay...

I really want to make a statue of that scene and show it to my children later: Baby, do you know what is the deepest love, the painful longing, and the affectionate embrace? Look at this statue.




………… Hint: I am the dividing line. Allow me to be a little moody……………

As I write, my mood is gradually no longer heavy, and turned into a kind of respectful and moving emotion. Writing these words while listening to the original soundtrack of the movie really felt a lot better, as if I was immersed in the same painful situation as them. It's just that when I watched the movie, my mood couldn't calm down for a long time, the bitterness and oppression were in my heart, I couldn't speak, let alone cry. I want to release it, express it fully, but I can't.

This is a movie that can truly move and influence the world.


The more deeply I feel about movies, the more I can’t write words that express my feelings and feelings. My words are too shallow, and I’m really afraid of misinterpreting and expressing wrong feelings, making me look dull.

………… Hint: I am the dividing line. Allow me to be a little bit in the mood....




Thinking of the warmth of Jack and Ennis in the Motel, Jack said shyly: "Okay, let me tell you, I admit that I'm flying all the way, but I still think I'm not fast enough. What about you?" Ennis wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to know how to say it. He couldn't see the way back to this relationship, so he could only say: I don't know...




... String. Allow me to be a little moody...…………

Heath Ledger's performance requires the audience to observe and experience carefully. When I watched it for the first time, I was a little more impressed with Jack's performance, but only a few emotional explosions from Ennis. Point's performance praised. But when I watched it for the second time and carefully observed every expression and every line of Ennis, I realized how well he played this Ennis who was helpless, had childhood shadows, and was forced by life! How suitable for this role is his slender performance, and how well he expresses the character and emotion!

………… Hint: I am the dividing line. Allow me to be a little bit moody...




Thinking about the several times Jack and Ennis meet each year, thinking about the hurt the two families have suffered, the protagonist certainly has his own pain, but the people around them suffer together.


Thinking of Jack silently saying to himself: There's never enough time, never enough time....

Thinking of Ennis squinting, pursing his lips, and popping out the words: What I don't know, all those things that I don't know, I could get you killed if I come to know.

Thinking of Jack shouted angrily: You count the damn few times that we have been together in nearly 20 years! and you measure the short fucking leash you keep me on, then you ask me about Mexico, and you tell me you kill me for needing something that I don't hardly never get! You have no idea how bad it gets!

Thinking of Jack's loving voice, He said with a cry of hatred: You are too much for me, Ennis. I wish I knew how to quit you....
This is a confession of love, but also a confession of pain.

Thinking of the slowly twitching face of Ennis, the tears that were quietly falling, the slowly lowering head, he turned his head and pouted and said: Well...why don't you?...big tears fell...why don't you just let me be, huh? It's all because of you, Jack, that I'm like this...I'm nothing, I'm nowhere...

Thinking of Jack dropping his hands, There is no way to Let Ennis be, and hold Ennis in his arms.

Thinking of Ennis hugging Jack tightly, Cry with a painful expression: I just can't stand this any more, Jack...

Thinking that Jack is still holding Ennis tightly like the first time, and said softly: It's all right, it's all right...

Thinking of Ennis hanging Jack from behind, whispering: And now you 're sleeping on your feet like a horse, my mum used to say that to me when I was little, and sing to me....Ennis showed a little mischievous expression from time to time, Jack dozed off with his eyes closed, then leaned his head forward, resting his chin on the back of Ennis's hand, and continued to enjoy the warmth of his heart.

Thinking about Ennis seeing the two-piece suit hanging in Jack's room - the shirt he thought he had lost and the blue jacket Jack used to wear on Brokeback Mountain, the bloodstains were overlapping, Jack was wearing it when he died, Jack It is often worn to feel the Ennis. With tears in his eyes and tightly pursed lips, Ennis gently and seriously pressed his clothes against his body, rubbing his face on the clothes, seeking the temperature, smell, and taste of his lover.

Thinking of Ennis switching the layers, wrapping Jack's jacket with his own shirt and hanging it on the inner door of the closet, next to a postcard of Jack's quest for a continuation of the leading edge. It was this postcard that reconnected the two and started their lifelong love and dependence.

Thinking about the end of the film, Ennis' eyes filled with tears, the corners of his mouth twitched, he held the postcard, thinking about the sentence: Jack, I swear...
Let me accompany your soul alive, we don't have any more scruples.


A few more words off the topic,
although the movie has a passionate scene, it feels very beautiful. What the audience sees is the deep love, the deep thoughts of love.

Ang Lee's film is exquisite and beautiful, the details are perfect, the characters are distinct, and the love is deep and full. Sure enough, it deserves the Oscar for Best Director.
