246 Social phenomena

Although there has been a "Genius Ripley" that won both fame and fortune at the Oscars as a foreshadowing, it is still relatively rare for a movie like "Brokeback Mountain" to clearly tell the love story of two men, especially Theorod and Heath still have a lot of passion scenes in the movie, and Oprah does not plan to let the two go like this.

"How do you shoot a passion scene? Wow, that's such a blunt question, and I'm a little worried about what else you're trying to do. When Theolod heard this, he slapped his thigh and leaned back on the couch, not paying any attention to the screams and cheers of the audience, but pretending to look at Oprah vigilantly.

"Other attempts?" Oprah laughed, "Please, I don't have any other intentions, it's just a technical question, and we all want to know." ”

Oprah's words were supported and applauded by everyone in the room, and it seems that this question is not easy to fool. Theolod and Hiss looked at each other, just about to say something, but they couldn't help laughing, and the two of them turned their heads and covered their eyes and leaned on the back of the sofa with their backs laughing back to their backs, which aroused the curiosity of Oprah and the audience even more.

"I can tell there's a lot of stories in there. ”

"Okay, okay, in fact, it's nothing, passion scenes are just some beautiful things that two people who love each other do according to their feelings, actors will always encounter all kinds of passion scenes, whenever this time, who your partner is and whether you call your partner or not it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you have to perform that emotion, the beauty of love, this is the actor's responsibility. Theolod was serious about foreshadowing, "But this kind of play is the responsibility of two or more people, and in order to show respect you always have to discuss with your partner or partners what the shots will do." That's how Heath and I filmed at the time. ”

"We've been talking about it all along, and Ann will come over with us to discuss what Ennis should do and what Jack should do. Heath added, "You know, in that case I'm, uh, like the 'giver,' and Theo is the 'taker,' so Theo's opinion is very important to me, understand? let me know a ......."

The more Hiss described it vaguely, the louder the laughter and heckling at the scene became, and even Oprah couldn't help but make a wide-eyed and meaningful look at the camera, which made Theolod all the serious things he had laid down before, and simply started running the train.

"yes, he's probably afraid he's hurting me. Theolod nodded at the audience with a serious matter, and got a meaningful "oh" answer from the audience, and spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, and no matter how good the discussion is before, there are always variables at the critical moment." ”

"What do you mean?" Oprah asked.

"Heath is too shy. Theorod replied as if he hated iron.

"Oh no, that's not the reason, I'm not shy. In the midst of the laughter, Heath tried to defend that he was also led astray by Theorod who ran the train, "You have to know that sometimes Theo doesn't like to act according to common sense and script......"

"Hey man, you need to know that Ennis was my favorite when I was filming, wouldn't you do your best to seduc/seduce your lover when you want to?"

"Okay, okay, you succeeded, you won. ”

Oprah watched the two "quarrel" without saying a word, and then turned back to the audience with a meaningful expression, and the cheers at the scene even covered the quarrel between the two on stage, Oprah interjected to mention the kiss scene between the two in the play, and the two laughed at the same time.

"Probably because Ennis's nose is better than his own, that's why Jack bumped into it. Theorod said.

"Probably because Jack's lips look delicious, Ennis bites into them. Hiss also cooperated with him.

"Seriously, you didn't notice the pain at the time?"

Heath shook his head: "No, probably too devoted, or the cut that Ann shouted." ”

Theolod also added: "I think Ann must have wanted to beat us up with Tai Chi at that time, just like an old father looking at two children who only knew how to cause trouble. I was much worse than Heath at the time, with two stitches on my mouth, and my mouth was closed and drooling from time to time, like an intellectually handicapped person – no offense – but I thought I would be able to play a role like this in the future. ”

Theorod's unconcerned self-deprecation made everyone laugh, and Heath comforted him: "It's okay, Theo, you probably don't know the two weeks you've been away, I miss you." ”

"Oh, really? I'm so flattered. Theolod clutched his chest in feigned happiness.

Next, Oprah invited Anne and Michelle, and with the two ladies joining, the conversation no longer only revolves around the love of Jack and Ennis, but also the two couples are not β–‘β–‘. When Oprah mentioned how to see Jack Ennis marry each other, Theolod did not run the train for entertainment effect, nor did he pretend to be serious for the rhythm, he replied very sincerely and seriously:

In fact, not only in that era, but even now, this phenomenon is very common in the gay community, in order to hide their sexual orientation, in order not to be discriminated against by society, many homosexuals will choose to marry the opposite sex, regardless of gay and lesbian. It's just that this phenomenon was more common in Jack and Ennis's time than it is now, because it was a time when people were really going to die. ”

Therefore, when I see that many homosexuals now comment that the homogeneous β–‘β–‘ in "Brokeback Mountain" is too miserable, or ask the author to change the ending, I want to say that what "Brokeback Mountain" really wants to tell is not just the love between two men who are forced by reality to never have a good ending, but this social phenomenon that oppresses them, which is prevalent and homophobic at all times. ”

"Ann cleverly did not rise to the thankless height of the Great Truth, he just put everything he wanted to tell into the tragedy of the love of two men, the tragedy of the lives of two families. The responsibility for the emergence of 'same wives' or 'same husbands' is not limited to the homosexual community, and this tragedy is a derivative of the phenomenon of homophobia. ”

"I'm not going to talk about whether Ennis or Jack is right or wrong when they choose to marry women, because the absolute notion of right and wrong can't be applied to such complex issues. But my position is that you have the right to pursue a happy family, and you also have the right to remain single and hide your sexual orientation, but you do not deprive others of the right to live happily ever after for the rest of their lives. If I would come out, or stay closet all the time, either way, I wouldn't be like Jack to marry an innocent lady who could have had more happiness to cover up my life, and it would be too unmanly to do so. ”

When Theolod spoke, the audience remained unusually quiet, and Oprah did not interrupt him, until the end, everyone in the audience broke out into warm applause. Theolod had once again proved himself worthy of the title of Perfect Gentleman, and of course, no one really cared about what he said at the end. In their view, Theolod is just making an analogy to show that he does not judge his wife/husband and will not do such a thing, and in essence he has already shown his opposition to such things.

"Brokeback Mountain" is indeed worth controversy and discussion, whether it is the relationship between two men in the movie, or the tragic family of two women.

"Alright, do we have to keep talking about this serious social issue?" Theolod smiled and clapped his hands, "Oprah, if you want to gossip about Heath and Michelle, now is the best time, and I'm willing to tell you everything I know, starting from the first glance between them, and I can use Anne as a supplement for the two weeks in between." ”

"Hey Theo!" Heath reluctantly elbowed Theolod who was going to gossip about them.

"It's no problem to leave this to me. Anne hurriedly raised her hand and betrayed Heath and Michelle.

The atmosphere of the scene, which was extremely serious and sensational just now, was pulled back by Theorod. Theolod is indeed an actor who reassures talk show hosts, and he definitely doesn't worry about the effect of the show, but he is also the actor who gives them the most headaches, because it is difficult for a talk show host to pry anything substantial out of the mouth of this old fritter.

After the broadcast of "Oprah's Talk Show", Theorod's views on social phenomena such as homosexuality, homophobia and homosexuality/husband have received widespread attention and controversy in society, and the core of the controversy has long since shifted from Theorod's remarks to these social phenomena.

Not only entertainment newspapers, but also some political and social news newspapers began to discuss these phenomena, and with the boycott of homosexuality and "Brokeback Mountain" entering the Oscars across the United States, "Brokeback Mountain" received more attention before the Oscars, and directly became the topic of the month of February. And the first to express his views and remarks, Theorod has also become a topical actor recently.

Such a change was not expected even by the promoters of Focus Pictures and Universal.

Theolod knew that when he put those words on the stage, he would definitely cause a big reaction, and maybe he would never talk about such social and political issues before, and as an actor, he would never touch such a thing. But now, everything is different, there are things he has to say, there are things he has to do.

Nattle didn't know that Theolod would be directly featured on the show, but he did show his support. Marshall, as an agent, had to take care of many factors, so he educated Theolod a few words. Herman, on the other hand, thinks Theolod is doing a very good job, and in his words: "When you learn and start to have the courage to fight for something, it proves that your condition has improved a lot." ”

Theorod was noncommittal, perhaps he was much braver in matters of his own sexuality and rights.

The 76th Academy Awards arrived in such a stormy and heated controversy. Because of the eight nominations and the recent heated discussions, "Brokeback Mountain" surpassed "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which received eleven nominations, and became a high-profile topic film at this Oscars. Even the host Billy Crystal directly opened with "Brokeback Mountain", portraying "Brokeback Mountain" as the story of "two men and their families who are concerned by the world".

Most of the eight nominations for "Brokeback Mountain" are full of gold nominations, and the two most talked about are the two Best Actor nominations. In fact, according to the general safe operation - although "Brokeback Mountain" is the undisputed two-actor setting - Focus and Universal should have declared a Best Actor and a Best Supporting Actor, but they didn't do so and wanted to try it out.

The result was unexpected, the Golden Globe Awards, the double Best Actor nomination, and the Oscar were also nominated for the Double Best Actor!

The two leading actors of a movie can be nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars, which is one of the few in film history, not to mention the movies set by the two male protagonists, not to mention the two male protagonists in the movie itself, even the 2002 Oscars double male lead film "Training Day", only Denzel Washington The actor was nominated, it is conceivable that the old man of the Oscar Academy will not give too much preference to a movie in most cases so that it occupies two actor nominations.

But they gave this honor to "Brokeback Mountain", and I don't know if it was because of their preference for Theolod, a talented rebellious kid who always "broke their hearts", or because they really liked "Brokeback Mountain".

The first to start was a few less important awards, and the eleven nominations for The Lord of the Rings have not been missing so far, and it is undoubtedly the biggest winner. "Brokeback Mountain", which has attracted more attention, lost the best original soundtrack, and the little golden man fell into the hands of "The Lord of the Rings", but fortunately, "Brokeback Mountain" finally broke the phenomenon of "One Hundred Shots" in the nomination of "The Lord of the Rings", and defeated "The Lord of the Rings" in the competition for the best adapted screenplay.

It's a pity that Michelle didn't win Best Supporting Actress, and the little golden man was won by Renee Zellweg of "Cold Mountain". Michelle was a little disappointed, but she was quick to smile with Heath's reassurance and encouragement.

With the passage of time, this Oscar has come to the three most crucial awards: Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor.

Theolod looked in the direction of Ang Lee, and he found that Ang Lee, who had always been gentle and elegant, was actually a little nervous at the moment, and he and his wife clasped their hands together, waiting for the result to come. The race for best director is undoubtedly locked on him and Peter Jackson, one is the rebirth after falling to the bottom, and the other is the explosion after accumulating the trilogy, and no one knows who the winner will be in the second before the results are announced.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ang Lee, "Brokeback Mountain"!"

When the name was called, Theolod stood up with the entire crew of "Brokeback Mountain" to applaud and congratulate Ang Lee, and when Ang Lee passed by him, Theorod hugged him hard. Who would have thought that a Chinese-American director who was degraded to worthlessness two years ago would receive everyone's applause at the Oscars two years later?

And the mood of the entire crew peaked at the moment when the best picture was revealed - "Brokeback Mountain" once again beat "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and won the best picture!

Everyone in the crew ran to the podium, Theorod and Heath handed the little golden man to Shams, but Shams handed the little golden man to Ang Lee, who didn't answer it and directly handed it back to the two leading actors. Theolod and Hiss glanced at each other and held up the little golden figure together.

For Theorod, this little golden figure not only carries the dedication and efforts of everyone from the preparation of the film to the present, but also carries the struggles and dreams of countless ordinary homosexuals like him. In his eyes, the Golden Man for Best Picture is like a kind of social recognition, which is even more important than the best actor who has not yet been revealed.

After the excitement, the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" hurriedly returned to their seats, waiting for the announcement of the Oscar winner at the last moment. Whether "Brokeback Mountain", which was mentioned by the actor, won a big victory, or whether someone else broke through the siege of "Brokeback Mountain" and lifted the crown, all the answers are in the hands of award presenter Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman, the last Oscar actress, opened the envelope that everyone paid attention to, glanced at the name on the paper, and suddenly laughed:

"The winner of the Best Actor at the 76th Academy Awards isβ€”"

The author has something to say: At this point, the text is over, and the end is open for you to guess, in fact, there is no point in writing it

After that, there are probably a few chapters of sweet and sweet, saving Hiss [mistake], and then to the small daily life in recent years

There is no need to write about the death of Grandpa and Nat as if they are still in the parallel world

But it's probably the end of the 166 reading network
