. "Jack, I swear..."

The theater screening room was quiet. Accompanied by sad and bright guitar music, on the big screen, Ennis, with gray hair on his temples, looked at a top hanging on the wardrobe door, his plaid shirt wrapped around Jack's denim jacket, and the beautiful and old postcard was nailed to the upper right. Ennis silently tied buttons for the denim jacket, his eyes were filled with tears and his nose was red. He held back his sadness and pursed his lips and said softly.

Few open audiences were shrouded in this unspeakable sadness, and a kind of emotional impact mixed with emotion, helplessness, sadness, heartbreak, heartache, etc. flowed quietly in everyone's hearts. Why did the taciturn Ennis say this when the positive and optimistic Jack died?

Looking at the big screen where the cast and crew rolled, many viewers had moist eyes and sore noses, and a low sob sound. Most homosexual audiences found it difficult to control their emotions, and they had an urge to roar and vent their emotions.

"Woooooo..." Evelyn burst into tears like rain, crying so hard that she couldn't stop crying. She wiped her face, and the tissue in her hand was soaked, and the popcorn paper bucket next to her was already filled with pieces of tissue. Oh my God, I should have come to see it early! It's great, and it's so uncomfortable. How could this happen? She simply wanted to be a gay man... The more Evelyn thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, why can't the people in love be together? Because of the secular shackles, how many Jack and Ennis ended in a tragedy?

I remembered the scene of the two fighting on the hillside of Brokeback Mountain. The bloody plaid shirt was kept. It turned out that Jack kept it when he took it! He always complained so much, as if he was leaving Ennis again. In fact, Jack had always loved him deeply! Evelyn couldn't help crying: "Ahhhhh, wuwu..."

The heart-wrenching cry made some viewers cry, and many viewers who stood up and left immediately looked at this side. Kelly patted her friend's shoulder: "Don't be too sad, I don't want to see you crying." Evelyn hugged her tightly and cried: "Kelly, why, magical Yang, Heath Ledger... "Brokeback Mountain"..." She was so excited that she was incoherent. Kelly saw the "understanding" look that came from the passing people, and she wanted to say, "We are not lace, we all have boyfriends..."

Evelyn cried, "I can't, I just can't! Kelly, I swear... I just can't do it!" Passersby were a little sympathetic, and Kelly breathed a sigh of relief, forget it, needless to say, but she would not go to watch "500 Days with Shamo" with Evelyn.

"Brokeback Mountain" has been released on December 9. Due to the conservative boycott force and genre, this controversial work is not suitable for large-scale screenings as soon as it was launched. It only arranged 8 North American theaters in the first week, and by the 16th of the second week, it increased to 75. After accumulating reputation, the screening area gradually expanded, so many states with more conservative folk customs will gradually join the ranks of the upper paintings.

However, the most conservative Utah state was listed on the list in the second week, but in the end only 74 theaters received tickets because the Utah theater temporarily canceled the screening, which caused an uproar across the United States and around the world.

It was the Megaplex Theater located near Salt Lake City. Just a few hours before the first screening of "Brokeback Mountain", the theater suddenly notified that the Flame Movie would not show it. Then the staff just posted a notice at the ticket office that "According to the theater's arrangements, "Brokeback Mountain will not be screened." The theater's manager refused to comment on the matter.

Geer Luzka, chairman of the local conservative organization "Utah Hawks Forum", said that the action to not screen Brokeback Mountain set an example for the Utah people: "I think the cancellation of the screening plan told the public that the content of this film is problematic." Ceo Mike Thompson, a local gay human rights organization "Utah Equal Rights", said that the withdrawal of the theater is quite disappointing: "While everyone gives praise and applause to it, it is a shame that the majority of Utah residents cannot see it because of personal prejudice."

"We are very, very disappointed." Fona Hasson, spokesman for the Flame Movie, said that if the Megaplex Theater did not have the courage to show, it should have told everyone earlier, rather than suddenly breaking the distribution contract when the film was about to be painted, which made Utah moviegoers happy, but none of this matter, more importantly, the action itself! Fona Hasson said: "What we lost is just the transportation cost of a copy of a video, the Utah residents lost a shock in their hearts, and the freedom to watch the movie."

Whether Brokeback Mountain can be launched on the Utah big screen in the future is still a question. Anyway, it has been pushed to the forefront. Also this week, Kim Eun-Shaley, a film critic in the old morning news and talk show "Today's Show", described the character "Jack" of Brokeback Mountain as "a predator, tracking Ennis, and seducing him to have sex everywhere."

The Gay Anti-Stigma Association immediately protested solemnly, saying that Shaley had the right to make any comments on Brokeback Mountain, but he described him as a "predator" just because "Jack" had love for the same sex, which was a smear. It was ignorant and irresponsible statement, which also reflected the nature of Shaley's discrimination against homosexuality. "We don't think he would call Jack in "Titanic" the "predator" just because Ruth Jack wanted to pursue was a woman."

"Anna is just an ordinary girl, standing in front of a boy she loves begging him to love her; Jack is just an ordinary boy, standing in front of a boy he loves begging him to love her. Is this the predator? Everyone is!" Wang Yang publicly expressed his support for "Jack". Of course, as the chairman of the producer and one of the producers of "Brokeback Mountain", there is no need to say too much to express his attitude.

But he was really dissatisfied with it. What kind of fucking era has it been? The Courage and Opportunity have been on Mars for more than two years. Why can’t we tolerate different sexual orientations? If we don’t accept it, we must learn to respect it. He hates discrimination the most, and he hates this sense of superiority of ignorance the most.

"Yang, I'm sorry for this happening! We can't react, we're so angry." Shenqi Yang's furious made the NBC Entertainment Department tremble repeatedly, angry and scared. Kevin Rayley and other senior officials killed Jin Eun-Shali! He knew that he was the producer of "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Big Bang"! He knew that NBC was relying on him now! Is there any benefit of offending Shenqi Yang and the Fire Group?! And it also attracted condemnation from homosexual organizations and accusations from the public! Does that guy know how many young people there are? The teenagers are following the leader of Shenqi Yang?

Unexpectedly, the little sarcasm caused a disaster because of Wang Yang. Jin Eun-Shali quickly apologized publicly: "That was not intentional. I didn't realize that it was an inappropriate description. I just wanted to say some jokes, but I didn't expect that this would hurt others. It was not humorous. On the contrary, it shouldn't be very ignorant. I feel very ashamed. Please accept my sincere apology." He argued himself: "I have no sexual orientation discrimination. People who know me know this know this. I also have some very good homosexual friends. I can't do such things."

No matter what Shaley said, it was too late. Although he was not fired, he was still suspended from NBC because his remarks were "completely inappropriate". NBC, who was struggling with headache, said that he would invite another film critic to "Today's Show" to make a fair evaluation of "Brokeback Mountain".

Despite so many controversial events, director Ang Lee does not agree with classifying "Brokeback Mountain" as a gay movie. He believes that the film describes love: "Love in a broad sense should not be limited to the person who loves each other being a man or a woman." But obviously "Brokeback Mountain" will never be separated from the title of a gay movie, and some media even define this film as a "Western gay epic".

"Brokeback Mountain" is destined to be no gay film in the past. Regardless of its reputation, its story, its genre, and the vigorous operation of the Flame movie are extraordinary. It is believed to create a new record in box office history of gay films.

The one who is now firmly in the championship is the black comedy "Bird Cage" in 1996, with 124 million North America/185 million globally, with 2,285 theaters in North America, and the best art director (nominated); the second place in 1994's fantasy horror film "Night Visit to the Vampire", with 60 million production fees / 105 million North America/223 million globally, with 2,604 theaters in the widest range, with 2,604 theaters, with 1999's thriller drama "Genius Ripley", with 40 million production fees / 81 million North America/128 million globally, with 2,369 theaters in the widest range, with 2,369 theaters in the best costume design, art director, adapted scripts, original soundtracks, and supporting actors (all nominated).

"Crying Game" 1/6 (winning/nominated) The 1993 Oscar (Best Original Screenplay), with a box office of 62.54 million; "Philadelphia Story" made Tom Hanks the Oscar-winning actress in 1994 (2/5, Best Original Song), with a total of 77 million in North America and 206 million in the world.

"Don't Cry" with a box office of 11.54 million yuan made Hillary Swank the best actress in 2000 (1/2); "The Devil" made Charlize Theron the best actress in 2004 (1/1), with 34 million in North America and 60 million in the world; "The Moment" made Nicole Kidman the best actress in the Oscar as early as 2003 (1/9), and 9 items were the highest in gay films in history, but it was only 1,010 North American theaters at its widest time and received 41 million in 108 million in the world.

This is almost the result of homosexual or homosexual films in recent years. Now "Brokeback Mountain" is not about best art director, but is aimed at Oscars for the best film, director, male lead and other awards. However, under the strong offensive and traditional Oscar style of "Firefly", its prospects for winning awards are still worrying. You should know that since the 40th Oscars in 1970, there has been no best film on the gay theme, nor is there a best director of a homosexual film.

"Midnight Cowherd" in 1969 can be said to be the founder of homosexual films. At that time, the United States, which was more conservative in the "Pilgrim spirit", was more conservative. Homosexuality was a very taboo topic. One of the representative works of this "New Hollywood movie" was the first time that the discussion on homosexual topics was bluntly held in the American film industry. After its premiere, it naturally caused a greater uproar than it is now. Conservatives condemned the film for "dirty and immoral", while reformists believed that it seriously explored a social phenomenon that should have been discussed long ago.

That year, "Midnight Cowherd" received a box office of 44.78 million, and won the 1970 Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director (John Schlesinger, Qiang Walt) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Valdo Schott) with 6 nominations.

In addition to homosexuality, it is also the only X-level film to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and the other nominated for the 1971 science fiction film "Clockwork Orange". The x-level is an unregistered trademark rating, and anyone can use it on their own films, indicating that the content is only for adults over 18 years old. In order to attract attention, the film dealer even played xx-level and xxx-level. MPAA launched a new trademark rating nc-17 level in 1990, ending this chaos; but critics believe that "Midnight Cowherd" should be rated R-level.

After 36 years, if the Oscar once again "makes you guess" and "Brokeback Mountain" was elected as the best film and best director, the icebreaking significance is almost the same as the science fiction film. So the battle between "Brokeback Mountain" and "Firefly" is a fog with extremely poor visibility. Both have reasons to win the award and reasons not to win the award. No one knows what the judges are thinking now. Interestingly, "Midnight-coravers scored 4/4 points: "Don't miss and is unforgettable. Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" is like shooting your heart. It is a landmark movie, and the victory of Heath Ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal." ...

User critic Jameson Wally scored five stars: "Excellent movies. I admit I want to hate these movies because it's controversial topics, but I can't... I changed my attitude towards homosexuality, it's a great work. Everything about it, the stories, characters, acting, music, etc. are all beautiful, I love it." User critic KJ-P scored four and a half stars: "If some people choose not to watch this movie because they are homophobe (people who hate or fear homosexuality), they really should be ashamed of themselves. The love story of these two men is one of the greatest stories ever thought of, their gender doesn't matter, they are enough to fall in love, everything happens for only one reason, love. Masterpiece!"

Of course, 81% likes indicate that some users also gave negative reviews. Except for homophobes, most people do not appreciate the slow narrative rhythm of the film and think it is boring. User Tanya-p wrote: "I want to go back those two hours." Cindy-n wrote: "It's so beautiful! The amazing scenery, a nearly perfect love story, I finally cried, and Fantastic Yang decided to make it very correct."...

In fact, James Shams almost cooperated with Focus Film Company at that time. The takeover of Flame Movie gave Brokeback Mountain a better development. At the beginning, everyone agreed to invest 15 million, and in the end it cost 20 million, while the version in Wang Yang's mind was 14 million. The higher cost made all aspects of production more refined. For example, the only thing that Wang Yang was very dissatisfied with the version in his mind: makeup.

The film spans 20 years from beginning to end. Jack and Ennis and others have almost never grown old, but their hair and beards are changing. This is naturally due to the cost. It is important to know that the original production fee of "Rejuvenation" in 2008 was as high as 150 million. But Wang Yang did not allow this situation to happen again, and he invited Grig Cannon (Rejuvenation) to be a makeup artist to do a good job in this area, so that they can get older, and not destroy the beauty.

Canon is still the makeup guide for "Firefly", but "Brokeback Mountain" has been completed there, and "Firefly" is still in the preparation stage, so there is no conflict. It turns out that Canon is worthy of the "Oscar Best Makeup Award", and both cowboy movies are excellent.

From December 9 to 15th, Brokeback Mountain ranked 14th in 8 theaters, with an average of 130,529 per gallery, and a strong start. The weekly champion was the fantasy blockbuster "Legend of Narnia", which received 81.33 million in 3,616 theaters, and the average single-store 22,492 per gallery was not amazing. The next weekend from December 16 to 18th, Brokeback Mountain received 3.027 million in 75 theaters (an average single-store 40,368).

"Jack, I swear..."

Los Angeles is bustling under the night, and the audience is quiet in the theater screening hall. Wang Yang and Jessica are also sitting in the audience, surrounded by sobs and sighs from the audience around them. Because their baby daughter Ke Ke, who was born for more than ten days, was taken care of by Wang's mother and others, and after ten months of pregnancy, the two found a night to go out for a date. "Brokeback Mountain" was released for so many days, they have not come to the theater to watch it.
