On November 16th, Millie and Frank got out of the covers early in the morning, and the first thing they did when they woke up was to go outside the door to get the newspaper, then sit down in front of the computer, and nervously flip through the newspaper as they turned it on, just to find out how the opening of last night's world premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" went.

She unfortunately didn't get a ticket to the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain", and neither did her boyfriend Frank, although "Brokeback Mountain" will be released in 1,000 theaters across the United States today - this is the result of Universal's continuous efforts - but many fans who care about "Brokeback Mountain" as much as they do, and protesters who hope that "Brokeback Mountain" will still be looking for critics and audience reviews who are lucky enough to attend the premiere early this morning.

"Oh my God! Frank! Ahhh

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Frank, who hadn't opened the webpage yet, thought Millie had seen some earth-shattering bad comments, he immediately leaned over, "Calm down, show me!"

"Look, look!" Millie shoved the newspaper into his hand.

Frank flipped it open and howled, clenching his fist and waving it in the air, "Beautiful home run!"

In the entertainment section of the Chicago Sun, to which they subscribe, Roger Ebert's comments take up almost half of the page. And whether it's Roger Ebert's tirade or a few short sentences of film criticism from other film critics, they all reveal a unified point of view -

"Brokeback Mountain" is an unprecedented rare film!

"If you choose to give up such a treasure just because 'Brokeback Mountain' is about the forbidden love of a man, then I won't advise you to tell you that you will miss out on a film that is destined to enter the top of film history, nor will I tell you that you will regret it later, because if you abandon art just because of sexuality, then you will never appreciate the true artistic beauty of this film. ”

Roger Ebert actually opened fire on those anti-homophobic people so unceremoniously from the beginning, which is different from his previous style of commentary, maybe the beauty of "Brokeback Mountain" really made him hate those narrow and superficial extreme homophobes without hesitation, or maybe this is his maintenance of his beloved actor Theorod.

"The story of Brokeback Mountain is not complicated, but it is not simple, only twenty years have passed since the tragic ending of Jack and Ennis meeting the last two at Brokeback Mountain, but it is the most precious twenty years of all lovers' lives. Perhaps only Ang Lee can bring depth and amazement to a film that is destined to turn into a love soap opera in the hands of others, and only two professional and dedicated actors, Theorod Lecht and Heath Ledger, can play the protagonists of the story in the tragedy of fate......"

“…… Jack was like all gay people living in his time, but he had extraordinary courage. He pursued the happiness he wanted, he faced his heart calmly, and the love he spoke of to Ennis was not just a simple feeling, but a twenty-year commitment. Theolod skillfully captures all of Jack's heart and then shows it to everyone, to Ennis, especially in the final explosion scene, where he even melts Jack into his soul......"

Ennis, on the other hand, saw the shadow of the tragic death of homosexuality to his father as a child, and made him fear everything around him, fear himself, and even, Jack. Under Hiss's interpretation, Ennis is introverted, humble, passive, but definitely not cowardly, at least he still has the courage to face the love for Jack in his heart......"

“…… As smart as Ang Lee doesn't put the whole movie on a big picture, he doesn't even want to preach to the audience, he just uses his unique subtle and restrained approach to show us the life of a unique group. In the sixties and seventies of the last century, under all kinds of oppression and discrimination, two □□ men were forced to deny their only true love, but carefully maintained the only temporary happiness of the two, this tragedy is universal to this day, and we have only seen this pair......"

Jack desperately tries to change the fate of the two, but Ennis is indifferent and follows the tide of fate and retreats, leaving only a sigh that echoes in their only remaining Brokeback Mountain. Maybe he'll regret not cherishing Jack's feelings, maybe he'll regret that he's kept holding back, maybe he'll regret not being able to change the fate of both of them with Jack......"

But he would never regret the look he had twenty years ago when he raised his head and looked at Jack who was shaving in the rearview mirror, and he would never regret that he had set foot on Brokeback Mountain and fell in love with Jack. ”

“lovea forcenature……”

Roger Ebert sighed helplessly, and finally gave "Brokeback Mountain" four stars and four thumbs up.

Maybe his evaluation alone will seem a little one-sided, but if most of the other film critics gave "Brokeback Mountain" a special praise, it would be different.

"It's a film that's big enough to forget Hulk and a romance that you can never stop crying. Boston Globe film critic Erin Zerey sighed.

"Jack and Ennis are left with more than just Brokeback Mountain, but love. Someone used to say that "Brokeback Mountain" was a 'same-sex cowboy movie', and I don't know if that person would still think so cruelly after watching this movie. Leonard Mardin, a film critic for The New York Sun, said that he actually knew who the critic was who had rated "Brokeback Mountain" as a gay cowboy film, but he didn't specify it, "Director Ang Lee told us a love story in a gentle but engaging way that was enough to win the Oscar for Best Picture." ”

However, the fact that he did not name him does not mean that the first person to simplify and belittle "Brokeback Mountain" does not know what the other party is talking about, Sean Thorpe knows, because this sentence is the first thing he said. The story told in "Brokeback Mountain" is indeed clever, and there is no mention of the larger phenomenon of social minorities at all, but the sheer love and brutal reality of these two men alone is enough to earn a lot of tears.

But the words that come out are like water spilled out, although "Brokeback Mountain" has nothing to do with "cowboy" except for the background of the costume, Sean Thorpe still does not intend to retract that sentence, and quite cleverly "answer the question" and say stiffly: "I think even if the two male protagonists in "Brokeback Mountain" are changed to a man and a woman, the same or even more tear-jerking effect can be achieved. ”

Of course, his words were immediately criticized and abused by many gay groups, thinking that he was discriminating against their vulnerable groups. However, in addition to the support and popularity of "Brokeback Mountain", there are also many gay people on the Internet who complained that Ang Lee made the ending of "Brokeback Mountain" too pessimistic, complaining that the original author Anne Plough seems to have a misunderstanding of their homosexuality, so that they will not be as tragic as Ennis and Jack in the movie.

Of course, these complaints are only a few, after all, the movie has just been released, and most of the fans on the Internet are sharing from fans who were lucky enough to watch the premiere, and a large part of them are talking about the love between Jack and Ennis, talking about "Since "Titanic", I have never cried a pack of tissues wet, and I actually cried two packs of tissues when I watched "Brokeback Mountain", and I couldn't calm down on the way home."

A high score of 9.6 on IMDb and a 94% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes proved the word-of-mouth magic of "Brokeback Mountain" to all audiences who didn't make it to the premiere. Coupled with the appeal of Theolod, a young actor, even some audiences who are not interested in this subject matter chose to walk into the cinema on the 16th to see how good "Brokeback Mountain", which was blown out of the sky by film critics and brainless fans.

The 16th is a Sunday, and the first week of "Brokeback Mountain" will end after it is released in 1,000 theaters. The box office income of 2.7 million seems to be inconspicuous, but the 2.7 million is the income of 1,000 movie theaters for one day, with an average of $2,700 per theater, and theaters generally start film production in the afternoon and evening, according to the scheduling rate of five shows on the day of "Brokeback Mountain", the attendance rate of each show is almost 60%.

You must know that the attendance rate on the first day of the release of the popcorn special effects blockbuster is only 80%-90% at most, and "Brokeback Mountain", but it is a film that is so niche that it can no longer be niche and is destined to take the route of applause and not selling, the theater party initially thought that the attendance rate could reach more than 30% before they would be willing to continue to sign a contract with Universal, and now, 60%?

Then it doesn't matter what extreme masses protest or not, sign and sign, you must sign!

So, in the next week, watching the box office of 1,000 theaters reach 15.72 million, the theaters that did not sign a contract with Universal at the beginning began to sit still, and the number of theaters gradually expanded to 1,384, and as Utah theaters couldn't stand the temptation of money to lift the ban on "Brokeback Mountain", this number has been increasing.

"Brokeback Mountain" has been growing steadily at the domestic box office, and even the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on him — presumably because they were two completely different films. While countless Middle-earth fans were screaming for the final battle, there were still many viewers crying in the theater of "Brokeback Mountain".

Theolod, who secretly watched the second time with Natle at midnight in "Brokeback Mountain", did not cry this time, but his heart was still full of emotion, especially when he saw a man in the corner of the wall in the first few rows kissing the tears in the eyes of another man, and then kissing each other, he thought that this scene was even more touching than Ennis's last scene.

lovea forcenature.

Theorod thought of this sentence, and the two in the sixties of the last century did not even dare to get too close. Now, under "Brokeback Mountain", a couple who have endured for many years appear hand in hand.

"Theo ......"

Theolod heard someone next to him calling him, and he turned around, and Natel imprinted a kiss on his lips.

“i sweaove you and will love you forever……”

Nattle promised.

Theorod smiled.

“yes， i do.” He replied.

This promise is even better than the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor.
