1097 Earthquake Echoes
~.-~ Today's third update, please subscribe and recommend.
Whether it was Roger Ebert or Neil Darcy, their comments gave Brokeback Mountain the highest praise. This contrasted with the criticism of thousands of people in August last year, and even more spectacular and ironic, almost all the media raised their hands and slapped them in the face, loud and harsh. Such a spectacular scene is the magnificent level of earthquakes.
Time magazine commented that “Brokeback Mountain” tells that “the disease that is told is not just sex (the sexual part in the film is very tiny), but about love: a kind of hesitant and hindered, and eventually turns into a sad love in the heart.”
The Los Angeles Times review is relatively implicit. "This movie, called the 'gay western film', is neither accurate nor easy to be ambiguous... The passion contained in the film comes from precise details and ambiguous emotions."
"Rolling Stone" made relevant comments and reports on the title "Evan and Jack join forces to contribute a shocking love story."
A comment from the Hollywood Reporter is, “The beauty of the movie is that we don’t realize it is a gay work at all!”
"Chicago Reader" believes that "the epic love story, the 'Broken Soul', the best love movie after 'Gone with the Wind'!"
Looking at these comments that put "Brokeback Mountain" as a "magical work", and comparing the media's accusations last year, the situation became more and more interesting. In fact, after watching "Brokeback Mountain" in Toronto, there were definitely only a handful of movies that criticized the movie. The few here are the ones that refer to. Among the first twelve American media comments that emerged, only the "premiere" sang the opposite tune - no surprise.
But even in the "premiere", Elliot Carter's critical rebellion seemed a little pale and powerless. "Lee tried to sanctify the homosexual love story, but the fact is that countless trivial details and plain story narratives made the whole movie seem boring. The love between two men still cannot show any special features. Evan's restrained and clumsy acting skills made people unable to even hear his lines. Jack's childish and impulsive performance still did not lose his idol halo, which made people disappointed a work."
At a glance, Elliot Carter's criticism seemed to criticize "Brokeback Mountain" as useless, but in fact, it became increasingly obvious that he had no theoretical foothold and could not criticize as righteously as before, so he criticized randomly. Regarding Evan Bell's vague speech, that was exactly the characteristics of the Wyoming cowboys' speech, but rather the manifestation of his outstanding acting skills; the explanation of Jack Gyllenhaal's role is also nonsense. That is the personality of Jack. For the movie itself, Elliot Carter cannot make effective attacks, so he focused on "homosexuality", hoping to incite the emotions of conservatives and make them resist homosexuality - not the movie itself.
The rough and pale comments on the "Premiere" have made the earthquake-level slap conference more and more exciting. Even the number one villain "Premiere" is breaking the stage, let alone other media?
In fact, as early as the Venice Film Festival was screening "Brokeback Mountain", media from European countries gave a lot of praise to this movie. Even though there was a more popular "Good night and good luck" at that time, the praise was still endless.
The Times from the UK commented that "the grand pattern, moving stories, extraordinary acting skills and scripts, eye-catching photography, "Brokeback Mountain" has everything to become a classic."
"Visual and Audio" who belong to the United Kingdom also had a lot of praise for "Brokeback Mountain" before mocking the silence of the American media. "Under Li's calm and implicit lens, there are surprising emotions fluctuating. The spark between Evan and Jack makes the story look so beautiful that it makes people feel heartbreaking. Each picture is like a postcard, and that kind of perfection is even more painful to our soft hearts."
The French "Movie Manual" gave a unique praise, "Lee is not ashamed to talk about sex. In fact, the passion between the lovers is shocking... This story about love expresses some essential regrets in human nature. It is both natural and painful and beautiful and delicate."
In addition, the famous British magazine "Empire" also said, "This is a homosexual story, not a homosexual story. This story has made us know a lot and think a lot."
Local Italian media believe that "Evan used his delicate and restrained performance to successfully break everyone's heart in front of the big screen. Such love has made countless people yearn for it."
The commentary of the official Venice Film Festival magazine said, "The epic film, the surging contained in the vast desolate mountains, presents a spectacular scene in front of you, which is amazing. Evan's performance shocked the audience, and every move, expression and line touches the audience's hearts."
The German media expressed their inner thoughts with the simplest praise, "The best in history, no one!" Of course, maybe they refer to the best in history of homosexual films, but their recognition of "Brokeback Mountain" itself is not at all discounted.
From Venice to Toronto, there are 31 media that have successively sent comments to "Brokeback Mountain". In addition to the "premiere", all the other 30 media have praised it, and there are also the top professional film magazines. This shows the public opinion advantages won by "Brokeback Mountain".
Of course, the more public comments, the more severe the shame the American media brought to the "Bell phenomenon" will be. But what can they do? There is no other way except to break the teeth and swallow it into their stomachs. This is not the first time the media has been defeated in front of Evan Bell, and I believe it will not be the last time. However, this time, this special attribute of a homosexual film is bound to be destined, and the earthquake echo will continue. After the Toronto Film Festival, when "Brokeback Mountain" was released on a large scale, this shock will continue until the end of the Oscars.
Among these countless slaps, the one that made the most noise should be from Chris Van Punk. The "Movie Review" did not release the reviews as soon as possible because Chris Van Punk refused to watch the movie. It was not until the Toronto Film Festival was coming to Toronto that Chris Van Punk arrived in Toronto. Because even Roger Ebert gave such praise, and all media reviews were even more positive, which shocked Chris Van Punk.
In fact, the reason why Chris Van Punk was so heartbroken was that he was so disappointed. He liked Evan Bell, a new generation actor, very much, with personality, talent, ambition and persistence. Chris Van Punk also hoped that Evan Bell's future would have a better development, so when he knew that Evan Bell was going to come into contact with the taboo area of homosexuality, he was so angry because he didn't want Evan Bell to ruin himself. This was like parents treating their children, with deep love and deep reproach, and Chris Van Punk's original anger was more like an vent of Evan Bell's incompetence. For this reason, he even refused to watch "Brokeback Mountain".
But now it's different. Everyone is saying "Brokeback Mountain". Chris Van Punk suddenly thought that Evan Bale has never been a stupid person, and every decision he made must have his reasons. So, why is "Brokeback Mountain", why is it not afraid of even gay movies, and why Evan Bale is so persistent, Chris Van Punk knew that he had to find an answer. So he appeared in Toronto.
After the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" in Toronto, the audience was full of praise, and the midnight show was still full. Even after the movie started playing, there were still audiences asking for tickets to be added tomorrow at the door, holding signs and staying around. Chris Van Punk queued for three hours before buying a ticket. It was hard-won, and he was lucky. Some people queued for most of the day but couldn't buy tickets, so they could only leave infinite depression.
"After watching the movie, I sat in my seat without moving. I tried to recall every detail of the movie, but I couldn't remember anything. I could only recall Ennis's tearful blue eyes, and the pain that seemed to be torn apart. Until the people were gone, I was kicked out of the cinema by the administrator~~-updated first release~~ and stood in the square at midnight, calmed down, and let the tears flow down. Dry by the wind and continued to flow down." This was the first passage of Chris Van Punk's film review. There was no comment on the movie, let alone any professional information. It was just a mood, just like the feeling of any audience, but this just reflects the shock of Chris Van Punk.
"I finally understood why Evan would rather take the risk of being criticized by everyone than take the film. The clean and pure love in the movie is enough to explain everything. No one cares whether this is a homosexual movie, no one cares whether homosexuality can be recognized and conforms to the social orientation, just calm down and follow the scenes to this story belonging to Brokeback Mountain. We will find that in fact, love does not require any conditions, appearance, money, class, gender, age... it is not necessary. Just have a sincere heart, and everything will become natural.
On the night when Ennis and Jack had sex for the first time in the movie, I felt a little nauseous when I saw the two kissing for the first time, and even hesitated whether I should turn my head openly; four years later, when the two met again, I had no idea of the passionate kiss - nor did I realize that these were two men, but just watched them seriously; when Jack said the words, "I really hope to know how to quit you," he watched Ennis crying like a child in Jack's arms, and I hope they were together, sincerely; Ennis found the two shirts in Jack's hometown, and Jack's shirt wrapped around Ennis, and in an instant, tears flowed down... Love does not require any boundaries.
So, I apologize, and I sincerely apologize to Evan. This is a classic work, and it is a wonderful but wise choice. Evan, thank you, thank you for bringing us the Brokeback Mountain."
What surprised everyone was that Chris Van Punk did not write the whole article according to the regular film reviews, but expressed his thoughts sincerely as the audience. At the end of the film review, Chris Van Punk actually apologized. This apology also made the "contradictory" earthquake-like self-abuse behavior of the American media reach its peak, and then disappeared. Because everyone reached a consensus that "Brokeback Mountain" is excellent.
