Chapter 423: The year of the cowboy

"Jack, I swear ..."
The theater auditorium was quiet, accompanied by sad and bright guitar music. On the big screen, the two temples of white Ennis looked at a coat hanging on the wardrobe door. His plaid shirt wrapped in Jack ’s denim jacket. Beautiful Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Clothing Jacket and the old postcards are pinned to the upper right. Ennis silently attached buttons to his denim jacket. His eyes were full of tears, his nose was red, and he pressed his lips sadly and said a little.
There are few empty seats in the audience, which are shrouded in this unspeakable sadness. A shock of emotions mixed with emotion, helplessness, sadness, heartbreak, heartache and other emotions flows quietly in the hearts of everyone. Ennis just said this?
Looking at the big screen that rolled up the cast of the cast, many viewers also had moist noses and sore noses, and a low throaty voice. Most viewers had difficulty controlling their emotions. There was a urge to vent their hearts.
"Ooooooo ..." Evelyn's tears collapsed like a rain, and she couldn't stop crying. She wiped her face. The tissue in her hand was suddenly soaked, and the popcorn bucket next to it was already full. Balls of paper towels. Oh my god, I should come early! It ’s awesome, it ’s so uncomfortable, how could it be, she just wanted to be ... Evelyn thought more and more that it was n’t tasteful, why ca n’t people who are in love be together? Because of the secular imprisonment, how many tragedies did Jack and Ennis end?
I remembered the scene where the two were fighting on the of Brokeback Mountain. That plaid shirt, Jack had kept it all the time! He always complained so much, as if to leave Ennis again, in fact Jack always loved him! Evelyn couldn't help crying: "Ahhhhhhhhoo ..."
This tearful cry made some of the surrounding audience cry, and many of the audience who stood up and looked at this side suddenly, Kelly patted her friend's shoulder: "Don't be too sad, I don't want to see you Crying dizzy. "Evelyn hugged her tightly and cried," Kelly, why, miraculous Young, Heath Ledger ... "Brokeback Mountain ..." She was so excited that Kelly saw passing by The "understanding" glance cast by the person, she wanted to say "we are not lace side, we all have boyfriends ..."
Evelyn cried, "I can't, I just can't! Kelly, I swear ... I just can't do it!" The passers-by had some sympathy, Kelly exhaled, forget it, needless to say, but she Will not go to "500 Days with Shamo" with Evelyn.
"Broken Mountain" has been released on December 9th. Due to the resistance and type of conservatives, this controversial work is not suitable for large-scale screening as soon as it comes up. It only arranged for eight North American theaters in the first week to the second. On the 16th of the week, it increased to 75. After accumulating word of mouth, the screening area will be gradually expanded, so many states with more conservative customs will slowly join the ranks of the paintings.
However, in the second week's list, the most conservative Utah was listed, but in the end only 74 theaters received tickets because the Utah theater temporarily canceled the screening, which caused uproar in the United States and the world.
It was Megaplex Theater in the suburbs of Salt Lake City. Just a few hours before the first screening of Brokeback Mountain, the theater suddenly notified Flame Film that it would not be shown, and the staff just posted at the ticket office. Arrangement will not show "Broken Mountain", any inconvenience caused by the "excuse me" notice, the theater manager declined to comment on the matter.
Guy Ruzka, chairman of the local conservative organization "Utah Hawk Forum", said that the act of not showing "Broken Mountain" has set an example for the people of Utah: "I think the cancellation of the screening plan told the public that the content of this film is There is a problem. "Mike Thompson of the local rights organization" Utah Equal Rights "said that the theater withdrawal was quite disappointing:" This beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m has won many awards. The movie, while everyone gave it praise and applause, but because of personal prejudice, let the majority of Utah residents do not see it, it is really a shame. "
"We are very, very disappointed." Flame Film spokesman Foona Hasen said, if the Megaplex Theater did not show courage, it should tell everyone earlier, rather than suddenly breaking the distribution contract when the film was about to be painted, making Utah's Fans and audiences rejoice at the scene, but these are not important, more important is the action itself! Foona-Hassen said: "What we lost was only the transportation cost of a copy of the film. The residents of Utah lost a heart shock, and the loss of freedom of viewing choices."
Whether Brokeback Mountain will be able to land on the big screen in Utah is still a question. Anyway, it has been pushed to the cusp of the storm. Also this week, the movie review of the channel ’s veteran morning news and talk show "Today Show" Jin En-Shari, who described the character "Jack" of "Broken Mountain" as "a predator, followed Ennis, and lured him to meet around in a comment session" on Thursday.
The Gay Anti-Stigma Association immediately raised a solemn protest on this, saying that Xiali had the right to make any comment on Brokeback Mountain, but he described him as a "predator" just because "Jack" had love for the same sex. Discredited, ignorant, and irresponsible, this also reflects the nature of Xiali ’s discrimination against homosexuality, "We do n’t think he will call Jack in the Titanic a" predator "because Jack wants to pursue Ruth is 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 him. Is this the predator? Everyone All! "Wang Yang publicly expressed his support for" Jack ". Of course, as the chairman of the production distributor, one of the producers of" Broken Mountain "does not need to say too much about his attitude.
But he was really dissatisfied and unhappy. In what age, courage and opportunity have been on Mars for more than two years, why can't they accommodate different sexual orientations? If you do n’t accept it, you must learn to respect it.
"Jian, I'm sorry for this kind of thing! We were so overwhelmed, and we were also furious." Magic Yang's furious made the entertainment department tremble, angry and frightened. Kevin Rayleigh and other senior executives killed Kim -Xia Li has a heart! Knowing that he is the producer of "Broken Mountain" and "The Big Bang Theory"! Knowing that it's all on him now! Is there any advantage to offend Miracle Yang and Flame Group? ! And it also attracted the condemnation of organizations and the accusations of the public! Does that guy know how many young people and teenagers are just wondering?
Unexpectedly, the little satire was a disaster for Wang Yang. Jin En-Shali quickly apologized publicly: "That wasn't intentional. I didn't realize it was inappropriate. I just wanted to say something naughty, but I didn't expect it to happen. It hurts others, it ’s not humorous. On the contrary, it really should n’t be very ignorant. I feel very ashamed. Please accept my sincere and sincere apologies.
He also argued:
I have no sexual orientation discrimination, people who know me Knowing this, I also have some very good friends. I ca n’t do this kind of thing.

No matter what Xiali said, it was too late. Although he was not dismissed, he was still suspended indefinitely because his remarks were "totally inappropriate." He said that he would invite another critic to join him. "Today Show" made a fair evaluation of "Broken Mountain".
Despite so many controversial incidents, director Li An does not approve of categorizing "Broken Mountain" as a movie. He believes that the film describes love: "Love in a broad sense should not be limited to people in love. Man or woman. "But obviously" Broken Mountain "can never escape the title of a movie, some media even define the film as" Western epic ".
"Broken Mountain" is destined not to be any movie in the past, regardless of its word of mouth, its story, its genre, and the vigorous operation of the flame movie, it is considered to create a new record in the history of box office.
Now sitting on the throne is the 1996 black comedy "Bird Cage", 144 million in North America / 185 million in the world, the widest screening of 2285 theaters in North America, Oscar's best art director (nominated); the second fantasy horror in 1994 The film "Vampire at Night", 60 million production costs / 105 million in North America / 223 million in the world, the widest 2,604 theaters, Oscar best original soundtrack (nominated), art director (nominated); third thriller drama in 1999 "Genius Ripley", 40 million production costs / 81 million in North America / 128 million in the world, the widest 2,369 theaters, Oscar best costume design, art direction, adapted script, original soundtrack, supporting actors (all nominated).
"Crying Game" 1/6 (winning / nominated) 1993 Oscar (best original script), 62.54 million box office; "Philadelphia Story" made Tom Hanks the Oscar winner in 1994 (2/5 , The best original song), 77 million in North America / 206 million in the world.
11.54 million box office "Do n’t Cry Boys" made Hilary Swank the back of the film in 2000 (1/2); "The Devil ’s Head" made Charlize Theron the Oscar in 2004 (1/1 ), 344 million in North America / 60 million in the world; "Every moment" as early as the 2003 Oscar after Nicole Kidman jumped into the Oscar movie (1/9), 9 are also the highest movies ever, but it is the most Kuan Shi has only 1010 North American theaters and has received 401 million / 108 million box offices worldwide.
This is almost the result of or homosexual films in recent years. Now "Broken Mountain" does not focus on the best art director, but goes to the Oscar for the best film, director, actor and other awards, but in the " Under the strong offensive of Firefly and the traditional style of Oscar, its prospects for winning awards are still worrying. Since the 40th Oscar in 1970, there has been no best film with a theme and no best director of a film.
In 1969, "Midnight Cowboy" was the originator of movies. At that time, the United States was more concerned about the "Puritan spirit" and the more conservative United States. Homosexuality was a very taboo topic. One of the representative works of this "New Hollywood Film" is The first outspoken discussion of homosexual topics in the American film industry, after its premiere, naturally caused a larger uproar than now, conservatives have condemned the film as "dirty, immoral", and the reformists think it A serious discussion of a social phenomenon that should have been discussed.
At that time, "Midnight Cowboy" received 44.78 million at the box office, and won the 1970 Oscar for best film, best director (John Schlesinger, John Water) and best adapted screenplay with 6 nominations. (Waldo-Shot).
Apart from homosexuality, it is also the only X-rated film that won the Oscar for the best film, and the other one was nominated for the 1971 science fiction film Clockwork Orange. Level X is an unregistered trademark rating. Anyone can use it on their own videos, indicating that the content is restricted to adults over the age of 18. The film maker will even score XX, XXX, MPAA in order to attract attention. The introduction of a new trademark rating of -17 in 1990 put an end to this mess; but critics believe that Midnight Cowboy should be rated R.
After 36 years, if Oscar once again "can't make you guess", "Broken Mountain" was elected as the best film and best director, and the meaning of ice breaking is almost the same as the award of science fiction. Therefore, the battle between Brokeback Mountain and Firefly is a mist with extremely poor visibility. Both have reasons for winning, and there are reasons for not winning. No one knows what the judges are thinking. Interestingly, "Midnight Cowboy" (ght-y) is a cowboy, and 36 years later there is the "Broken Mountain" cowboy; and "Firefly" is also a cowboy.
On the other hand, the widest screening in North America currently involving this theme is the 2604 of "Visiting the Vampire" at night. In the prediction and plan of the Flame Film Distribution Department, "Broken Mountain" will be about 2500 at the widest. This number The market is basically saturated, and further delivery is only a waste of copying, transportation and other expenses, of course, how depends on the actual box office of the film.
This year is not only the "year of the cowboy", but also known as the "year of homosexuality", because another big movie "Capote" is about the story of the controversial writer Capote, it is earlier than 9 Released on the 30th, there are only 10.48 million box offices (the widest 317), and the results are very bleak.
However, as Li An said, "Broken Mountain" tells a poignant and touching love story, it really did not disappoint, in any way!
After the film was released, the freshness of rotten tomatoes was as high as 87% / 91% (135/155), and the audience liked 81% (participating users 31643). In addition to the critics who have a prejudice against homosexuality, "gay love has never been so sacred", "I'm not touched at all", everyone else gave two thumbs up, and Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun scored 4/4 points: "The producer understands Jack and Enx They feel that they have done their work so carefully and attentively. "Bill Mueller of" Arizona "scored 3.5 / 4:" Without an opponent, "Broken Mountain" is the best love movie of the year. "
Peter-Travers of Rolling Stone scored 4/4 points: "Not to be missed and unforgettable, Li An's" Broken Mountain "is like a shot in your heart, this is a landmark movie, and hope Ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal's victory. "...
User film critic Jameson Wally scored five stars: "Excellent movies. I admit that I want to hate these movies because of its controversial topic, but I can't ... I changed my attitude towards homosexuality, it is Great work. Everything about it, stories, characters, acting, music, etc. are beautiful, I like it. "User film critic KJ-P scored four and a half stars:" If some people choose not to watch this The movie is because they are be (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, their gender is not important, they Enough to fall in love, there is only one reason for everything to happen, love. Masterpiece! "
Of course, 81% likes that there are also some users who give bad reviews. Except for bes, 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 to those two hours "Cindy-N wrote:" Too beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m! Amazing scenery, a near-perfect love story, I finally cried out, magical Yang decided to make It is very correct. "...
In fact, James Shams almost collaborated with the focus film company at the time. The takeover of Flame Movies has made "Broken Mountain" have a better development. At the beginning, everyone agreed to invest 15 million, and finally its production The cost is 20 million, and the version in Wang Yang's mind is 14 million. The higher cost makes all aspects of production more elaborate. For example, Wang Yang's only dissatisfaction with the version in his mind: makeup.
The film spans from beginning to end for 20 years. The faces of Jack and Ennis and others are almost not old, but their hair and beard are changing. This is naturally limited by the cost. It is necessary to know that the production cost of the original "Returning to Old Children" in 2008 is as high 1.5 billion. However, Wang Yang did not allow this to happen again, and heavy money invited Grieg-Canon ("Returning to Old Children") as a makeup artist to do this work, so that they could grow old without being too old to destroy beauty.
Canon is still the makeup guide for "Firefly" ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But the "Broken Mountain" over there is killing, "Firefly" is still in the preparation stage, so there is no conflict. Facts prove that Canon is worthy of the "Oscar Best Makeup Award", and both cowboy movies have turned out to be excellent.

"Jack, I swear ..."
Los Angeles is bright and bright under the night, and the audience is quiet in the theater projection hall. Wang Yang and Jessica are also sitting in the auditorium, surrounded by the sobbing and sighing of the surrounding audience. Because the baby daughter Ke Ke, who was born for ten days, was taken care of by Wang Mama and others, and after a month of pregnancy, the two found a night time to come out to date, and "Broken Mountain" was released for so many days, they have not come to the theater to watch Ever.
At this time, Wang Yang's eyes were moist and his mouth was twitching, and Jessica's face was also silent and reddish, and their hands were clasped tightly.
