243 Tears on the scene

♂!

Under the recent wave of "Brokeback Mountain", the screening hall is full. This article is written by: Neither Theolod nor Heath had seen the full movie, but they had already decided that "The Lord of the Rings" was one of the greatest works of 2003, and even if the last of the epic "The Lord of the Rings: The Invincible" would be released on the 17th of next month, they did not think that "The Lord of the Rings" would be defeated by "The Lord of the Rings".

Many critics and audiences don't have this kind of idea, after all, from the beginning of the film's preparation to the current premiere, they have always been skeptical of "Brokeback Mountain", the "Hulk" brought them too much shadow back then, and "Brokeback Mountain" is Ang Lee's first work after "Hulk", he didn't even have much time to sort out and summarize the reasons for his failure, so he buried his head in filming "Brokeback Mountain", even if this movie has Theo Rod, a natural performer, to support the scene, they have no confidence in "Brokeback Mountain", Not to mention comparing it to "The Lord of the Rings 3", which is destined to make a lot of money at next year's Oscars.

Of course, there are also some cautious film critics, such as Roger Ebert and others, who believe that the real failure of Ang Lee's "The Incredible Hulk" is that Ang Lee, who is trying to transform and break through himself, does not have an accurate positioning and perception of himself, and "The Incredible Hulk" is not suitable for him at all. But "Brokeback Mountain" is different, from a single point of view, with Ang Lee's unique Oriental subtle and introverted style, this movie is definitely tailor-made for Ang Lee, as long as he is not affected by the failure of "The Incredible Hulk", he will definitely be there in this awards season.

In any case, no matter what critics and audiences who disparage, or look favorably or keep a wait-and-see stance think of "Brokeback Mountain" before, they know that all the mysteries are about to be revealed in the film. Whether it is the seeded player of this award season or the winner of this year's Golden Sour Plum will naturally be known after 134 minutes.

As the lights in the screening hall went out, the noisy theater gradually quieted down. The blue and orange neon-like background appears on the dark screen, and the name of Focus Pictures appears in the opening credits, accompanied by the guitar theme of "Brokeback Mountain", a small truck drives over the vast countryside, the sky is still dark blue, and the dawn has not yet broke, and the distant mountain peaks lie dormant in the darkness.

Bland, lazy, clean, as if with a bit of meaning, and as if it was just his own illusion, the beginning of the story is narrated in this calm, like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, slowly telling the old past that seems to be only a sigh now.

Regardless of whether this gentle beginning can get the audience into the state quickly, it is certain that this beginning will gradually settle down the restless hearts of most people, and after the calm, the love story belonging to the two men will officially begin.

This is a very much literary opening in line with Ang Lee's literary style, thought Leonard Mardin, a film critic from the New York Sun. In fact, at first he was not optimistic about "Brokeback Mountain", but on the surface he did not say some radical remarks, before the release of "The Incredible Hulk", as a supporter of director Ang Lee, he had made several remarks in support of him, but unfortunately Ang Lee disappointed him and delayed it, and this disappointment also extended to "Brokeback Mountain".

At the moment, nothing can be seen from the beginning alone, and Mardin remains reserved. He doesn't have any prejudice against Theorod or other actors, maybe Theorod is indeed a favorite in today's Hollywood, and his acting strength is extraordinary, but for him, who always focuses on the director, he will not be like Roger Ebert or Sean Thorpe as long as the movie starring Theorod only revolves around Theorod.

Speaking of Sean Thorpe, this "Theoblack" is also here this time, and Mardin, who has a good relationship with him, has seen him before. No matter what the final result is, he always has to pick a bone in the egg to pick a thorn in Theolod's spirit, which makes Mardin very admirable and incomprehensible, you must know that this film critic is not such a small-bellied and radical person, if it is put on other actors, maybe after being slapped in the face for the first time, he will reluctantly say something positive in the second time.

However, he has indeed recently become more and more famous because of Theorod, or he has become famous with Theorod to the pinnacle of film critics.

The movie continues, and Jack and Ennis' first encounter is outside the employer's office door, when Jack is shaving in the rear mirror. I have to say that Theolod does have a talent and looks that can make countless Hollywood stars jealous, and the jack he plays has a strange attraction all over his body, and this attraction is both male and female, and it is no wonder that there will be so many gay male fans around him when the trailer is released, and the reason is here.

Many people thought of "As Always", he can perform a playboy public lover who makes thousands of girls fall in love, or he can perform a homosexual aura like in "Brokeback Mountain", and it will not make people think that he is a sissy. Homosexuality is not so easy to act, and it is not possible to interpret success by kissing and rolling a sheet with the same sex, this is like some male and female love movies, the theme is about love, but no matter how the hero and heroine kiss and hug and roll the sheets, there is no matching magnetic field and love atmosphere between them, the reason is that they failed to perform this feeling and atmosphere of love.

But Theolod did it, and it also affected Hiss, who had to be emotionally restrained. This feeling is different from his unrequited love Dickey in "The Genius Ripley", or Ripley, who is bitterly in love with Peter. This kind of affection is mutual, and even makes people have a heart-pounding emotion that only occurs when watching a love movie between men and women.

That ambiguous atmosphere and the beauty of pure love are gender-neutral. Whether it's Jack or Ennis's interaction on Brokeback Mountain, they can't find any estrangement and awkwardness for film critics with tricky tastes. Mardin couldn't help but sigh that the acting skills of the two actors, the director's use of sub-shots and the tranquil and beautiful scenery of Rocky Mountain were combined like poetry.

Even the drunken bed/scene is only red-faced and red-eared instead of heterosexual, and the diaphragm of seeing homosexuality is even disgusting, and many film critics look at Theolod's Jack and even have an impulsive idea that if he is gay, he will definitely be willing to sleep with him, not to mention those female fans and gay viewers, who will definitely scream if they can.

This is the beautiful and pure love between homosexuals, and I hope the two can continue to be sweet like this. Many viewers who haven't read the original book think so, but film critics who know the ending don't think so, they know that the happier and happier the two of them are in the early stage, the more painful they will be in the later stage.

From this point of view alone, Ang Lee and the two leading actors have succeeded, and they have successfully mobilized the emotions of all audiences, both informed and unwitting.

The separation came sooner than anyone imagined, Jack and Ennis's secret of love was discovered by the boss, and the two of them went their separate ways, Ennis went his separate ways, Ennis went to fulfill his promise to his fiancée, and Jack, from now on, maybe he only had Ennis in his heart, even if he met the straightforward and passionate girl Lulin.

Ang Lee did not describe how painful the separation of the two was, perhaps the homosexuality that survived in that era was so involuntarily born that even the two themselves saw it. But for some reason, looking at the two people who hugged each other again after four years in the camera, many people still had ripples in their hearts, especially when they almost used all their strength to rub each other into their bodies and didn't even care if they accidentally broke their lips and nose and bled out.

It's not easy. The sensual audience took out tissues, and they each lived as if they had no soul for four years, until they met, their lives were complete, and even the whole person came alive.

Some people also found out that the reason for Theolod and Heath's injuries on the set probably came from here, the two were so involved that one hurt his gums and the other hurt his nose, and Ang Lee actually directly used the picture of the two kissing with blood, this picture is even more lingering and affectionate.

It was the first time the two had met in four years, the first time Jack had suggested to Ennis to live together, and the first time Ennis had run away and told Jack about his fears, and it was the beginning of all their tragedies.

The film becomes more and more depressing, and Jack and Ennis's meeting again and again only brings disappointment again and again, and many people curse Ennis for his cowardice and cowardice in their hearts, but they understand his fear and withdrawal, so in the end they can only curse the screenwriter and director.

This repression broke out for the first time after Jack and Ennis's quarrel, and in that bland and subtle accumulation of almost half of the film's anguish, as Jack's questioning and pain erupted together, even the film critics who had always kept their sane minds cried, I don't know if it was for Jack, who was dead, or for Ennis, who was always in fear.

But Ang Lee wasn't going to let them go, and the montage clips of Jack's past and present gazes on Ennis that followed, made it impossible for the audience, who were holding back tears to the point that their throats were sore, finally unable to control themselves.

He actually released the flashback of the two on Brokeback Mountain, Ennis hugged Jack who was standing in place with his eyes closed from behind, and gently reminded him not to fall asleep standing up, and then Jack watched Ennis go away to herd sheep with gentle eyes like water, and a heartfelt smile, and at this moment Jack looked at Ennis driving away, the heartbroken and empty, from disappointed anger to desperate love, dead eyes and I don't know whether it was self-deprecation or a shallow smile, in stark contrast.

Even now, Jack is still deeply in love with Ennis, as he himself said, he is like a moth that rushes to the flames, he can't quit him, he can't do it, and he hopes that he can hate him instead of love him.

No one knew that they would see each other for the last time.

You'll regret it, Ennis. The audience who understands the ending shouts in their hearts, you will regret it for the rest of your life! "Brokeback Mountain" is not a beautiful story of reunion, many people have just wiped away their tears, but when they learn the news of Jack's accidental death, they suddenly realize it.

Lulin told Ennis that it was just an accident, but whether it was Lulin's face and tone of voice at the time, or Ennis's mind couldn't help but think of the apparition of Jack who died tragically under the homophobic crowbar, they all told people what happened to Jack.

A lot of people cried three times at the end.

The first time was when I learned that Jack had died.

The second time was when Ennis found his shirt that he had lost in Brokeback Mountain in Jack's old room, and Jack put his shirt over Ennis's shirt as if he was hugging him tightly. Jack never stopped loving and expecting Ennis, even when he eventually started a farm with another man, and his shirt always hugged Ennis.

The third time, at the end of the finale, Ennis, who was alone, said the last line of "Jake, isear...... to two overlapping shirts in the closet. This time, Ennis's shirt was wrapped around Jack's, just like they were on Brokeback Mountain, and he hugged Jack tightly into his arms.

What he swore to Jack, no one knew, and Jack could never have heard, and perhaps it was only at this moment that Ennis dared to really face his love for Jack.

With the melodious sound of the guitar, the screen gradually darkens, and the cast appears, but no one stands up. Everyone in the theater sat still, some of them still sobbing, trying to calm themselves while listening to the sound of the guitar that was the same as at the beginning, but the more they listened to the music, the more difficult it became.

It wasn't until the end of the entire cast and crew that the hall lit up, and the sparse applause gradually appeared, and then the applause became louder and louder, and everyone present stood up with tears in their eyes and threw the warmest and most excited applause to the main creative team of "Brokeback Mountain".

Theorod also stood up, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and sent his applause to Hiss. Although he didn't get to see the last scene of Hiss's performance on the set, when he watched Hiss say "Jake, Iear" solemnly and affectionately with tears in his eyes, he knew that there must be a place for him at this Oscar, and his performance was well deserved!

"I'm sure I'll see you at the Oscar nomination for Best Actor." Theorod smiled at him.

Heath also had tears in his eyes, "Brokeback Mountain" brought back memories of his filming at the time, and he was really proud to be a part of such a film. Heath hugged Theolod directly: "Me too, there will be two Best Actor nominations for "Brokeback Mountain", definitely." 166 Reading Network
