The previous article analyzed Ennis, and this one analyzes Jack. Let's analyze Jack's appearance first. Jack in the film should be a handsome sunny guy with a pair of charming eyes, a magnetic voice, and a high emotional intelligence. He is considerate and flirtatious. When you arrive at the most beautiful Bai Fumei in the area, you will know how attractive Jack is. That's one reason why Ennis couldn't resist the temptation. Jack is easier to see through, Jack knew his sexuality before going up the mountain, and he seems to know it all the time and go after what he wants. Jack is more open-minded and will actively pursue men, seduce women, and go to prostitutes. A bit bohemian and cynical. The sense of family responsibility is not heavy. For example, he always wanted to live with Ennis, but he would not worry about his son. If so, does he love Ennis or not? The answer is yes, how can I pay so much for him if I don't love it. Did he love Ennis that much? I think he paid more, but Ennis seems to love more deeply by comparison (add "How to see Ennis love Jack more?" Since Jack was willing to find other men and did so, why was he still in love with Ennis? My understanding is for two reasons, the first is that Ennis was his first love, and their love on Brokeback Mountain is unforgettable, and the second is that he has not met a better person than Ennis, who makes him more tempted , or another who loves him as much as Ennis does. Note that Jack didn't think that Ennis was his only one, and later explained that he tried to contact other men after going down the mountain, but failed. In the book, if you read English well, you should read that Jack has also done it with other men. His character decided that he would always seek a man to live with him. But it's so hard to find the right guy for straights, let alone gays, let alone gays in that day and age. It was a miracle that they met. Did Jack know that Ennis loved him so much. I think Jack was always not sure how much Ennis cared about him, and he was always eager for Ennis to give him a promise. So he chased him very tightly, he was very tired of love, he even thought about giving up, and it was made clear later in the movie. But he loves him and gives him another chance. He was afraid to relax a little and Ennis might just disappear from his life. Jack needs all the love of his body and mind, but he can't get it. He's not doing well. He has said it clearly in his mouth, unlike Ennis who is bored in his heart.

Let's analyze Jack's emotional changes from start to finish. Ennis should also be a more handsome young man. Jack felt good when he first faced Ennis. Before going up the mountain, I planned to approach Ennis. Jack looks at Ennis first, mirror peek + shave. The attitude of self-introduction, the conversation in the bar. Everything is too obvious. The director wants this kind of Jack. There are still many places in the back. Jack tries to chat with him, test him, tease him, make him happy, occasionally care about him, and deliberately test him with his temper. That time when Ennis brought something back to meet the bear dialogue is particularly obvious. (Ennis chapter has more love fragment interpretation)

Jack was very anxious and angry and said "Why come back so late, I'm starving" (Why did I wait so long, I'm so anxious)

Ennis (frustrated): "I bumped into a bear" (Damn it)

Jack immediately relaxed and handed him water and wine. He then wiped the blood from his face with his scarf. (Oh, that's it, come and wipe it) Ennis grabs it and wipes it himself. There was a slight look of disappointment on Jack's face.

Jack: We have to figure out what to do. Better to beat a sheep to eat. Ennis: What if Aguirre found out?

Jack, oops. . With so many 1000 sheep, what a big deal. (Pay attention to the tone, whimpering like a child, a little coquettish) Ennis: I'll eat beans (you can figure it out for yourself).

Jack "Hmph, I don't want" Note that this sentence is clearly coquettish. It's not like a girlfriend is coquettish with her boyfriend. YY take a look at the next episode, Ennis, "I really can't stand you anymore, don't make trouble, then I'll hit a deer for you."

Ennis hits the deer. Jack "Woohoo" cheered and danced. Doesn't it seem like a girl is saying "brother, you're awesome"! Ennis' next sentence basically means "just like you, you still want to fight deer". Feelings were good by then.

Sexually, Ennis is the more active side. But emotionally Jack is definitely dominant. Ennis is like a passive little girl. Various details in the film show the lover's relationship. Ennis is calm and reserved. He is emotionally passive, but he is more reliable and responsible. For example, when Jack is on a horse, Ennis told him to be careful. Ennis also hit the elk. Ennis replaced the beans with soup. He took the initiative to change shifts with Jack. Before each separation, Ennis settled Jack well. He helped Jack start the car accelerator, and helped Jack put everything on the truck many times before leaving by himself. On the other hand, Jack is relatively reckless, like a child, always complaining, and it is also reflected in the words of others. The things he wants to do are basically unreliable and impossible to do. He is lost, and rodeo is also half a bucket of water. Organs can also be broken. But he's sunny, handsome, straightforward, warm, funny, eloquent, entertaining, and gentle and considerate (note how many times Jack wiped the blood from ennis' face, stroked his face, and Jack washed ennis' clothes ). Imagine that an enthusiastic and direct boy takes the initiative to pursue an introverted girl. He may not have such deep feelings at the beginning, but he wants to continue the relationship, and his motives may not be so simple. Maybe it's quite deep, but based on how he behaved relative to Ennis when he went down the mountain, and his behavior of chasing others later, I tend to think that Jack's seduction of Ennis was actually a little less emotional at first. But the introverted Ennis quickly fell into it because of Jack's goodness. Jack liked Ennis at first, but he didn't like chasing after him. After the sex that night, he seemed to get a response, but what followed was another bowl of cold water, which had twists and turns in his heart. His emotional intelligence was very high, he didn't rush, he waited patiently, and when Ennis finally fell at his feet and let him kiss, his feelings sublimated. He was also nostalgic for this feeling, but he knew that they would be separated and seemed to be mentally prepared, so instead of being gloomy like Ennis, he stole Ennis's shirt as a souvenir. It's a big contrast, Jack is always awake, Ennis Always bewildered. But he was only nineteen at the time, what could he do, and Ennis told him clearly that he was getting married. Not to the point of telling him, don't marry Alma, and fall in love with me. And he knew that even if he said it, it was useless. Guess what Jack's heart is. "Hey, this guy is really nice, and he also likes me. I've never met such a person before, and I think it will be difficult to meet him in the future. I really hope that I can continue to be with him. I hope he will come back next year, but he said he wants to get married. Now, what can I do, it's a pity, fortunately, I stole a piece of clothes as a souvenir." Jack's character determines that his feelings will be more open. So I believe he must have hoped that he would meet someone as good as Ennis in the future, but unfortunately he didn't, so he kept thinking of him. He doesn't love women at all, as can be seen from Lureen's reaction to making out with him at that time (the plot was hilarious). He wanted to turn this man out to see if he could love him again. After this series of tossing, Ennis's status in Jack's heart continued to rise, until when they met again, Ennis took the initiative and affectionately kissed first. took him. They were still so affectionate when they met again. At this time, Jack was basically sure that Ennis was his real son, so later he proposed the idea of ​​living together, but unfortunately it was rejected again and again, and he was very frustrated. He longed for Ennis to give him a home. An important difference between Jack and Ennis can be seen here. In Jack's mind, there has always been a vision of spending a lifetime with a man, just like heterosexuality, but Ennis has no such vision in his mind. Because his brain waves short-circuited there. He has always hoped that he would marry a wife like everyone else and live a life that conforms to social standards. He kept saying that it was impossible for two men to live together. And in the end, he naively tried to form a family with that waitress. The waitress said something ironic at the end, Girls don't fall in love with fun. (Meaning, you actually thought "fun" could be used (instead of "love") for a relationship, which in the deepest sense means that a marriage can't be happy without love.) Even his teenage daughter knew that would make things easier Oops, I persuaded him tactfully, but he himself didn't understand. It was not until the end that he looked out the window meaningfully and asked her daughter if the marriage partner loved her, which hinted that he was beginning to realize. So Jack's cognition and realm are higher than Ennis. Jack knows this is a Son of whoreson bitch. Hate iron is not steel, since you love me and don't accept me, what do you want. Jack said a sentence that summed up his final state of mind, I wish I knew how to quit you. But I can't let go of loving him, 20 years of love, just keep pampering, take one step at a time, and go if you can't. Mexico vent. Until later he met the neighbor's man. (If you don't understand the plot, you can read other movie reviews. If you think that Jack is involved with the woman next door, you don't understand Jack too much. Did he go to Mexico to find a male prostitute? ) So does he love that man? of course not. Like his situation. Goddess, I love you so much. I would rather have a sister Feng to accompany me to have a meal and make love, but I can't stand it anymore. But he was too careless and was killed in the end. (This plot is controversial, I tend to be killed, not accidental. The main clue is his wife's reaction) This story seems to describe the repressed social background at the time to the extreme. Because I didn't live in America at that time, I couldn't tell if they had a chance to be together without life threatening. But I believe that if we really want to be together, there must be a way. For example, like Jack said, go to Mexico, or go to a more enlightened state, or move more frequently. Of course, this will be separated from the children, displaced, and even life-threatening. It's a matter of gain and loss. They made their own choices. One gave his life in pursuit of his ideals, while the other spent the rest of his life in regret and pain. I recently read Director Ang Lee's summary. He said that Jack is a representative of the homophobic faction, and Ennis is a representative of the homophobic faction. Great summary. But I can't let go of my love for him. I'll keep pampering my 20-year relationship. I'll take one step at a time. If I really can't, I'll go to Mexico to vent. Until later he met the neighbor's man.

Great summary. representative of homophobia. Great summary. representative of homophobia. Great summary.

How could it be seen that Ennis loved Jack more.

1. Jack is the only one for Ennis. Ennis didn't love Alma, even if he did. In the original text, Ennis didn't feel much betrayed after learning that his wife was with the grocery store owner. After the divorce, I feel free. This is in stark contrast to his reaction after he parted ways with Jack and when he found out that Jack was looking for a prostitute. Do ordinary men do this? His genes determined that he could not pay attention to women, let alone be jealous because of women. Further proof that he is gay. Ennis did it with Alma mainly for the eyes of the children and the world, and he was very excited when the drunkard said it. In the end, he made it clear that if he didn't give birth to a baby for me, I would quit you. Ennis and waitress are pure Joke, ending with the phrase Girls dont fall in love with fun. Ennis has never been to any other man. So, baby Jack is his only love.

2. Ennis will be heart-wrenching from being separated from Jack. The heart-wrenching pain after the separation, coupled with the emotion after the reunion, could not help but perfectly interpret his feelings for Jack over the past four years.

3. The days of Ennis and Jack's separation were basically a puddle of mud. He really couldn't live without Jack. He just didn't notice it himself.

4. He basically sacrificed everything he could to meet Jack. "it's because of you, I am nothing, I'm nowhere"

5. Ennis loves Jack under ideological adversity because his conception does not agree with his love with Jack. In such a situation of conflicting fear and pain, he is still madly in love with Jack. Jack loves Ennis by his own will and approval, and his mind is relatively relaxed.
