~-~ Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

In the silence, the first voice to break the "Bell phenomenon" appeared, to be precise, the first film review to break this phenomenon appeared.

This film review came from Roger Ebert, who is known as the "First Film Critic", which caused an uproar in the American media. Who is Roger Ebert? Presumably no one in the American entertainment industry knows it.

The 63-year-old American film critic, screenwriter, and Pulitzer Prize winner, Roger Ebert has been publishing his film reviews in the Chicago Sun since 1967, and later on the Internet. Published on , his film reviews have been published in more than two hundred media outlets in the United States and globally, and he has authored more than fifteen books, including his Film Almanac. In 1975, he became the first film critic to receive a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, and this June he became the first film critic to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In film critics, Roger Ebert is treated like royalty. He has been publishing the "Great Movies" series since 1994, listing what he considers to be the most important films of all time. Last year, "Crash" was fortunate to be the He considered one of the ten most important films of 2004, and before that, "adapted screenplays" also entered his list of ten most important films of 2002; starting in 1999, he also began to script films named after himself Festival "Roger Ebert's Most Neglected Film Festival". Brilliant is too pale for Roger Ebert's career as a film critic.

It's this Roger Ebert, he came to the Toronto Film Festival, which is not unusual, as a film critic, this is his job, and he and Dusty Cole have always been good friends, every year. Come here to meet old friends. On the red carpet of "Brokeback Mountain", Javier Dolan, Styles Lawrence and others saw Roger Ebert, like all the audience, standing at the door of the theater waiting for admission to watch "Brokeback Mountain" ". It can be seen that Roger Ebert also has expectations for this movie. That night, Roger Ebert did not appear in the VIP seats where Ang Lee, Evan Bell and others were, just as an ordinary audience. I watched this work carefully.

After the "Brokeback Mountain" screening in Toronto, all the American media became dumb, Roger Ebert, the top film critic, posted his first comment on "Brokeback Mountain" on his official website. "The film review, not only broke the Bell phenomenon, but also with a thunderous momentum. All eyes were gathered in the United States and even the whole world, and "Brokeback Mountain" was instantly on the cusp of the storm after experiencing the limelight of the American media collectively closing//the fastest text update-no ads//mouth.

"This is a heart-wrenching love story, and it's heart-wrenchingly beautiful." This is the opening line of Roger Ebert's comment. From this sentence alone, it can be felt that it seems that Roger Ebert Especially for "Brokeback Mountain" is an attitude of appreciation.

"Even though the whole story hasn't even started, it's just the moment the hollow guitar squeaks. Watching Evan Bell's Ennis get out of the truck and head down the winding path is overwhelming. The notes are as clear and pure as Celtic music. But there is an infinite loneliness behind it, which hits me simply and directly. For this work, I hardly had time to think, so I could only stumble along the camera and piece together This moving story."

This is the beginning of Roger Ebert's commentary, which instantly grabs everyone's attention and begins to paint the breathtaking beauty of "Brokeback Mountain" in their minds.

"The beginning of the story is very beautiful, and people can't help but sigh the beauty. I couldn't find an accurate word to describe the impact of that color, a large area of ​​navy blue. A vast expanse of light blue, big flowers and big flowers. White clouds drift leisurely. Jeans, plaid shirt, clean and young face, uninhibited and tough under the shadow of cowboy hat. Sixties, the vast West, the first meeting of two cowboys. Nineteen years old, like poetry age.

The 1960s was an era that belonged to My Fair Lady, West Side Story, and The Sound of Music. It was the most turbulent era for American youth, and the anti-hero trend swept the United States. The crowd was filled with drug addicts, homeless people, and hippies. Bob Dylan was the icon of the era, Martin Luther King's speech 'I have a dream (i.)' was deafening, Kennedy was stabbed, and the same fate happened to Kenneth Jr. years later , the scale of the war in Vietnam continued to expand, and it was a turbulent era.

But all of this has nothing to do with Brokeback Mountain. It is quiet, desolate, pure, gorgeous, mysterious, and lonely. There are sheep all over the mountains and plains, and the two young people accompany, support and warm each other in the lonely years between the mountains and forests. Love seems to be something that happens naturally, innate. After that, it is the ending that has to be separated, and the long entanglement of a lifetime.

At first, I thought it was impulsive, juvenile and frivolous hormones, and the physical demands of loneliness. But not so. Because if it was just impulsive, then Ennis would not be watching Jack leave, and Ennis was lying in the corner and retching violently, as if his internal organs were torn apart; if it was just impulsive, then there would be no long-lasting thoughts. , lingering in every corner of life, so that it becomes the only persistence in life.

Jack is active and positive. He took the lead in going to the other side, and in the entanglement of the next twenty years, Jack was the one who took the initiative to approach from beginning to end. Ennis is passive, negative, even repressed, his childhood experience - witnessing the tragic death of homosexuality - doomed him to be unable to take that step, his entanglement is struggling to tear his love in Jack's heart. Personality differences aside, both Jack and Ennis are strong, tough cowboys who fight and fall in love. In them, we can feel a strong masculinity, which is Ang Lee's brilliance, his intention, and the essence of this movie.

Ang Lee said, and Evan Bell also said that this is not a **** movie, this is just a love movie, a simple love movie, just the two sides in love, just happen to be men.

Among all the past works of the same type, 'The Philadelphia Story', 'Velvet Gold Mine', 'Breakthrough Venice', 'The Unruly Sky', 'Morris' Lover', 'The Law of Desire', 'Wilde' ', 'Boys don't cry'... Among the love characters in the movie, one is always stronger and the other is thinner and more feminine. This also makes our understanding of **** men - and lesbians are similar - stay at the level of women who are full of men (), or still can't escape the fixed concept of love between men and women in real life. But Ang Lee did it, and he told us the story with ease, the deep emotion between two truly powerful men. Natural but restrained, intense but true. In other words, he actually described how two people fall in love, and the love, reluctance, heartache, quarrel, compromise, struggle, farewell, everything is no different from traditional love. This is the story we are familiar with, we have seen too much.

So, this is indeed a love story, a beautiful and heart-wrenching love story.

Ang Lee's shot continued the subtle beauty of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" back then, without too many conflicting plots, but the heaviness of each detail accumulated, but unknowingly defeated the inner defense line. After watching the movie, I didn't shed a single tear, but I was very sad and very heavy. Not just Ennis and Jack, not just the **** community, all love is the same. There is beauty and happiness, but also cruelty and reality. What Brokeback Mountain really evokes is the longing in each of us, the longing for love, the regrets we have missed, the pain of not being able to be loved, the sadness of being in love but not being able to stay together, just like the cold guitar sound, in the deep. The Brokeback Valley reverberates.

Everyone embraces their own secrets and pains, and survives tenaciously in this terrible world. The grievances, embarrassments, and tortures they suffer for life are not the most terrible collapse and explosion, but silence. Gloomy end. With the passage of time, trivialities wear away, faces grow old, the sadness of the past, the heat of the past, and the happiness of the past have all become yellowed photos in my memory. Disappeared, only the carefree years on Brokeback Mountain, innocent like a child's emotion, reminded the past full of passion and nostalgia, as well as the insatiable pursuit of the lost youth.

Ennis didn't give up in the end, he guarded his and Jack's shirts, and the Brokeback Mountain postcard, 'I swear...' This was his last promise to Jack.

Anyone who has read the original novel will look forward to the two dresses and sleeves at the end, and I took my breath away as Ennis stepped down the creaking stairs into Jack's room. But that scene didn't make me cry, because I always imagined that Ang Lee should pat his sleeves a little closer, like rolling them together, and putting them in his pockets, just like in Brokeback Mountain~www.novelhall. com~ Ennis hugged Jack from behind, the surrounding mountains blurring a little in the twilight. But in the end, Ennis re-hanged the two shirts and put them on in a different way, next to a postcard from Brokeback Mountain. At that moment, I couldn't hold back after all, and my breathing stopped in an instant.

The girl next to me, snuggled on the boy's shoulder, said with a sob, 'It's so sad (it'.sad)'. I suddenly remembered what Jack said to Ennis, 'Sometimes, I think you can't take it'. At this moment, my eyes were suddenly warm.

Ang Lee said that there is a Brokeback Mountain in everyone's heart, and it is a dream that can never be reached. Even though I'm reluctant to put the 'gay' label on this movie again, I have to say, 'Brokeback Mountain', the best **** movie ever made. Because, this story is not just a love story of two people.

God bless, I love this story. "

The above is Roger Ebert's review of "Brokeback Mountain", which broke the so-called "Bell phenomenon" of "Sight and Hearing" and caused an uproar in the United States.
