238 Outbreaks
As the filming days passed day by day, the time gradually came to June, and the filming of "Brokeback Mountain" has come to an end. The scenes of the two supporting actresses, Michelle and Anne, had all ended three days ago, and after they finished, the set returned to its original coldness.
However, they only have the last scene left, which is the last scene of Jack's emotional outburst before his accidental death, as long as the filming is over, the entire crew can be completed, and the film has officially entered the post-production and publicity stage, and is expected to be released at the end of this year. It seems that Ang Lee and Shams have worked hard this time, and after "The Incredible Hulk" was released in 2002 and became Hollywood's worst director, they are ready to make a comeback, aiming at the 2003-2004 awards season and the 76th Academy Awards.
Perhaps it is the growing realization that the prospect of "Brokeback Mountain" is definitely not a simple niche film, and when it comes to the later stage of filming, everyone on the set is full of energy, and they want to participate in the birth of a classic. And the serious atmosphere of everyone's hard work also affected the overall atmosphere on the set, at least whether Theorod did not divide his mind and enlighten Hiss as he did at the beginning.
Because he himself began to be affected by Jack, who was bent on giving but never getting results, the depression and pain pushed him into the abyss of Jack. But he didn't see it as a terrible omen, on the contrary, he felt that he was so good, that this repression made his acting inspiration like a fountain of water, waiting for all the foreshadowing to erupt.
If Ang Lee were to describe Theolod's recent performance status, he would probably use the word "domineering". In the later stages of the film, Jack and Ennis generally get together less and leave more, and in all Jack's personal stories, even in the face of his good friend and old partner Annecio Rod, he is not merciful, and almost every scene of the pressure and lead scenes will appear, as if all his previous performances were just warm-ups, and now he is getting better.
However, it is not quite accurate to describe it as getting better, after all, Theorod's performance was also very pleasing to the eye before, and it was often just a pass. Ang Lee thinks that Theorod did not show his fangs in the first half of the stage, and he can show his talented side gently and patiently, but with the change of Jack's mood, the rebellious and unruly boy has accumulated too many scars in his heart, and when Theorod shows his sharp fangs, he will use a bloody visual feast to remind everyone who is the center of the stage.
And Heath, who has filmed Ennis's emotional outburst, has already entered the best state, and Ang Lee can't help but look forward to the last scene between Jack and Ennis, will Theorod continue to crush Hiss with his stormy and domineering acting skills, or will Hiss rise to the challenge and seize sovereignty? After all, in this scene, in the end, the protagonist is Jack and not Ennis.
Under the camera, during a certain camping trip, Ennis, who was divorced from his wife Alma, thought for a long time and confided in Jack the fears and worries that had been pent up in his heart. Alma knew about him and Jack, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and chose to leave him, and Ennis, who had a psychological shadow of homosexuality since childhood, was even more afraid that he was gay and that he was in love with Jack was known to everyone in the town.
He is not like Jack, who has a clear understanding of his sexuality, nor does he dare to pursue his love like Jack, he is too introverted and too sensitive, the homosexual corpse of his childhood who died tragically at the hands of homophobes has always been rooted in his consciousness, he is afraid that he or Jack will become like that, but the only person he can confide in is Jack.
And he has raised great courage.
Jack knew Ennis's fears, and he kept trying to get him out of his own world. Hearing Ennis say this, Jack lowered his head to hide his chuckle, and then looked up at Ennis, as if inadvertently suggesting that he left Wyoming and came to Texas, to come to his side, so that he would no longer be afraid of other people's eyes.
But Ennis flinched again, and he began to move out of his daughter again, saying some bastard things, which made Jack angrily shake his hand away.
Ang Lee shouted "cut", and this part of the plot is just a foreshadowing, paving the way for the conflict to completely explode when Jack and Ennis are on their next camp. After a short rest, in the same place, Ennis and Jack set off on the last camping camp of their lives. However, because it was still daytime, Ang Lee adjusted the shooting sequence slightly, he planned to shoot the quarrel on the last day after the two camping, and then come back to shoot the riverside chatter the night before in the evening.
When everything was packed up and Jack was ready to leave for home, Ennis told him that he had been struggling with it for a week and that the two of them would not be able to see each other until November. This news is like a guide/fire/rope that completely angers Jack -
The person he loves will always put him last, but anyone who has just known him can offer to run a farm with which he only wants to run with Ennis. In Wyoming, where he is full of discrimination and strange eyes, the person he loves will always push him away, while the stranger in a small Mexican town can give him the love and hugs he wants from Ennis!
"Why do I have to accommodate you every time, Ennis Delmar?!" I have to take care of my daughters, and it's their school semester recently, so we have to delay it for three months,' 'Another nurse on the farm is sick and we won't be able to see each other this month,' 'You know what? Maybe we can bring the meeting forward to March'...... Why do you always have so many excuses? Jack slammed the door on, threw Ennis's recent letter to him, which he had been carrying in his arms, in Ennis's face, and then angrily walked to the river and kicked off the bonfire that had been erected the night before.
"Why do we have to meet forever in this cold and desolate Brokeback Mountain? You're supposed to get out of here! We should go to a warm place, such as Mexico! β
Seeing this, Ang Lee couldn't help but laugh, because he knew that Theorod had started again, this time he not only changed the word, but also stole the props from the prop master, and the letter he threw to Ennis was not in the script, nor was it prepared for him in advance. However, even if Ennis shirked every time, Jack would still leave every letter he wrote, and this detail was very well changed, and Ang Lee was happy to see it happen.
But if Hiss had been acting according to the lines of the script, then I'm afraid he would be a little embarrassed afterwards - "Mexico? Damn Jack, you know me, the furthest I've ever been in my life is looking for a handle near a coffee pot......"
"your coffee pot, Ennis!" Sure enough, Theolod interrupted Hiss in a rough voice as he said his first line, "Is this the farthest you've ever been?" You don't even know the yourself! We could have gone further afield, where we belonged! β
Heath was slightly stunned by Theorod's unreasonable performance, Theorod had indeed changed his play to play freely before, but his previous performances were guided, and any time he had worked with him before, he was not as aggressive as this one. Fortunately, Heath is not a rookie, he has an acting talent no less than a drama bone, so his stunned is only a momentary thing, and under his modification, it seems that Ennis was dumbfounded by Jack's questioning.
"And what do you want me to do, Jack? Please, be reasonable, I have to work, maybe you forgot what poverty is like, but I didn't, have you heard of child support......" Ennis also tried to calm Jack down, but at this moment, he was angry and listened to Ennis's explanation as only his excuse, especially when he heard the word "child support" - Ennis had moved out of his daughter many times as an excuse.
"You don't understand, you bastard, money can't buy anything, do you think I'm doing well?" Jack sneered and shook his head, he was still angry and irritable just now, and now he returned to calm, maybe his heart was dead, maybe he saw through, "There is never enough time, never enough, and you are still trying to push us further and further away in this limited time." youknohatοΌ I've been fucking putting up with this fucking status quo for a long time, put up with you for a long time......"
Ennis was also irritated, especially when he heard Jack's last sentence, which seemed like a prelude to a breakup, he walked behind Jack anxiously, but he didn't dare to get too close, only paced back and forth a few steps away from him: "What else can I do? I've tried my best to squeeze out all the time to see you every time......"
Ennis noticed that Jack was ignoring him, so he changed his tone, "Do you have a better idea?" β
A better idea? They've been together for twenty years, remember what he said when they met again four years later and he proposed that they start a farm together? He refused, every time, and now, sixteen years later, he actually began to ask them what to do?
Ennis Fug Del Mar! Don't you think it's ridiculous to ask this question!
Jack smiled, and he turned to look at Ennis, staring at him almost with the vulnerability of self-defense, a smile condensed by anger and sorrow that was wanton and rampant, even with a hint of defiance: "Yes, there were, and there are now." β
Once? Right now? Almost instantly, Heath keenly grasped Theorod's line hint that although Theorod likes to play freely, every time he plays freely, he is based on the overall direction of the whole script, and he never deviates from it, nor does he say something meaningless.
Once Jack's suggestion was to find a place to start a farm together, and now, Jack has also proposed - Mexico!
Under Hiss's interpretation, Ennis reacted instantly, and this time, he angrily rushed to Jack, pointed at Jack's nose and said, "Your idea, Mexico is it?" I've heard that there are men in Mexico who specialize in serving people like you, listen to me, Jack Twist, and if you let me know what you're doing behind my back, and I don't know, I swear I'll ......."
"Bang-"
Theorod, no, Jack actually smashed his fist directly into Ennis's face, it was really smashed, not faked, although Heath could feel that Theorod was reined in, but he still felt that at that moment, his brain was a little confused, and he didn't know how to act at all.
Ennis's disbelief and stunned moments were not fakes, but Heath's real reaction, with the instinct of an actor, he could only take advantage of the situation to the side, and then he didn't have to worry about being NG at all, because the next second after that punch, Jack pushed him again, and pushed Ennis, who was not standing firmly, to the ground.
"Someone like me? What the am I? Ennis Delmar, what the are you?! Fuck/Fuck you don't know! You're just a goddamn bastard, you know what! β
Jack could no longer restrain his anger, nor could he maintain his previous calm, even though his heart was dead, Ennis's words were still like an awl chiseled into his heart. He knew that Ennis had always been a deep cabinet homophobia because of his childhood, but this time, with his words, he was not only afraid of the fact that he was gay, he was also fucking afraid of him! Fear of him who he loves and who loves him deeply!
"You'll never know how much I love you, how can you understand how much I love you, every moment and every second is like a torment!" Jack angrily threw down his gloves, "Sometimes I miss you so much that I can't bear to miss you, but you can't feel it at all, you don't understand, you coward!" β
"We've been together for twenty years, how many times have you counted ourselves together? You certainly don't remember, because you never cared, I tell you, 18 times! Only 18 hell times! Do you know how much courage and anticipation I have every time I come to see you? I feel like I'm the moth that pounced on you hellfire, burning everything and even twenty years of my life to pounce on you! β
Jack gasped as if every heartfelt word he uttered to Ennis had exhausted his life force, and finally he sat down on his knees with a "poof" and sat helplessly beside Ennis, pulling the cowboy hat on his head and covering his eyes.
"I'm tired, I'm really tired, I can't stand it, Ennis, the good life we could have had is now only this Brokeback Mountain......" Jack's voice, hoarse from hysteria, was filled with heartbreaking cries, "I really don't know how to quit you, Ennis Fug Delmar, I really don't know how to quit you......"
Once upon a time, Jack told Ennis that he would never want to quit him, and at this moment, the first person to have the idea of quitting the other party was also Jack.
Ennis couldn't help but hug Jack, who waved his fist, but he still hugged him tightly. "Then why don't you just abandon me, Jack, why don't you leave me......" Ennis couldn't help it, he leaned on Jack's shoulder, forbearance and pain, "It's all because of you, Jack, because of you, I only have you left in my life......"
ββ¦β¦ You bastard, Ennis, fuck, I wish I could hate you......" Jack whimpered, but clutched Ennis' sleeve.
It was the last time they saw each other, and they couldn't wait until November. 166 Reading Network
