Chapter 1097： earthquake echo

~-~ Today's third update, please subscribe, please recommend.

Whether it was Roger Ebert or Neil D'Arcy, their comments gave "Brokeback Mountain" the highest praise. This is in stark contrast to last August's censure, and then even more spectacularly and ironically, almost all the media raised their hands and slapped themselves in the face. , loud and harsh. Such a spectacular scene, called earthquake level.

A Time magazine review said, "'Brokeback Mountain' is not just about **** (the film's sexuality is minimal), but about love: a love that hesitates and gets blocked, and eventually turns into a tragic heart ."

The "Los Angeles Times" film review was more subtle, "This film is called a 'gay western', a title that is both inaccurate and ambiguous... The passion in the film is largely derived from precise details. and ambiguous emotions."

"Rolling Stone" made a related commentary report under the title "Evan and Jack teamed up to dedicate a shocking love story".

The Hollywood Reporter's one-sentence review reads, "The beauty of the movie is that we don't even realize it's a **** work!"

According to "Chicago Readers", "An epic love story, the best love movie after 'Broken Blue Bridge' and 'Gone with the Wind'!"

Take a look at the comments that have dubbed "Brokeback Mountain" a "magical work", and then compare the accusations made by the media last year, and the situation becomes even more interesting. In fact, after watching "Brokeback Mountain" in Toronto, there are absolutely a handful of movies that criticize the movie. The handful here are just one of the few. Among the first twelve reviews from the American media, only " Premiere" contradicts - no surprises.

But even for the 'premier', Elliott Carter's critical rebellion pales in comparison. "Lee tries to sanctify **** love stories, but the truth is, countless trivial details, bland storytelling. Let the whole The movie seems boring. The love between two men still can't show anything special. Evan's restrained and clumsy acting makes people unable to even hear his lines, and Jack's childish and impulsive performance still does not fade away from the idol halo, which is disappointing a work of.”

Look at Elliott Carter's criticism. It seems that the criticism of "Brokeback Mountain" is useless, but in fact, it is more and more obvious that he has no theoretical foothold and cannot criticize as confidently as before, so he will criticize indiscriminately. The vagueness of Evan Bell's speech, which is characteristic of the Wyoming Cowboys' speech, is a reflection of his excellent acting; the interpretation of Jake Gyllenhaal's character is also nonsense. That's the personality of Jack's character. As for the film itself, Elliott Carter couldn't make an effective attack, so he focused on "homosexuality", hoping to stir up the emotions of conservatives and make them feel **** - not the film itself. - Acts of resistance.

The rough and pale comments of "Premier" make this earthquake-level slap conference more exciting. Even "Premier", the number one villain, is tearing down the arena, let alone other media?

actually. As early as when "Brokeback Mountain" was screened at the Venice Film Festival, European media gave a lot of praise to the film. Even if there was a more showy "Good Night. Good Luck" at that time, the praise was still endless. .

"The Times" from the United Kingdom commented that "the grand pattern, moving story, extraordinary acting and script, eye-catching photography, 'Brokeback Mountain' has all the capital to become a classic."

"Sight and Hearing", both of which 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 reserved lens, there are surprising emotional fluctuations. Evan The spark with Jack makes the story look heart-wrenchingly beautiful, every image is like a postcard, and that perfection stings our soft hearts more and more."

The French "Cinebook" gave a unique accolade, "Lee is not shy about talking about sex, in fact the passion between the lovers is astounding... This story of love expresses some of the essence of human nature. The grief. Naturally scorching and beautifully delicate."

In addition, the famous British magazine "Empire" also said, "This is a **** story, not a **** story. This story has made us know a lot and think a lot."

The local Italian media said, "Evan used his delicate and restrained performances to successfully break the hearts of everyone in front of the big screen. This kind of love makes countless people yearn for it."

The review of the Venice Film Festival's official publication said, "The epic film, the kind of surging contained in the vast and desolate mountains, presents a spectacular scene before the eyes, which is amazing. Evan's performance Shocking the audience, every action, every expression, every line, is affecting the hearts of the audience."

The German media expressed their inner thoughts with the simplest praise, "The best in history, no one!" Of course, they may be referring to the best gay-themed movies in history, but they have no recognition for "Brokeback Mountain" itself. discount.

From Venice to Toronto, there are a total of 31 media that have commented on "Brokeback Mountain". Except for the "Premier", the other 30 media have all praised them, and there are many top professional film magazines. It can be seen that "Brokeback Mountain" won the public opinion advantage.

Of course, the more praise from the public opinion, the more humiliating the "Bell phenomenon" brings to the American media, but what can they do? There is no other way but to break the teeth and swallow it in the stomach. This is not the first time the media has been deflated in front of Evan Bell, and I believe it will not be the last. It's just that this time, the special nature of gay-themed films is bound to be doomed, and the earthquake echoes will continue. After the Toronto Film Festival, when "Brokeback Mountain" is released on a large scale, this shock will continue. until the Oscars are over.

Among these countless slaps, the loudest sound should actually be from Chris Fairbanks. "Movie Review" did not release a film review for the first time because Chris Fairbanks refused to watch the film. It wasn't until the Toronto Film Festival came to a close that Chris Fairbanks arrived in Toronto. Because even Roger Ebert gave such praise, and among all the media reviews, it was a good one, which shocked Chris Fairpunk.

In fact, the reason why Chris Fairbanks was so distressed at the time. He also hates that iron cannot become steel. He likes Evan Bell, a new-generation actor, who has personality, talent, ambition and persistence. Chris Fairbank also hoped that Evan Bell's future could have a better development, so when he knew that Evan Bell was going to touch the taboo field of homosexuality in Hollywood. He was so angry because he didn't want Evan Bell to destroy himself. It's just like how parents look at their children. The deep love and responsibility, the anger of Chris Fairbanks at the beginning, is more like a vent for Evan Bell's disappointment. For this reason, he even refused to watch "Brokeback Mountain."

But now it's different, everyone is saying "Brokeback Mountain" is good. Chris Fairbank suddenly thought that Evan Bell has never been a stupid person, and every decision he makes must have his reasons. So why is "Brokeback Mountain", why even **** movies are not afraid, why is Evan Bell so insistent, Chris Fair Punk knows that he has to find an answer. so. He showed up in Toronto.

After the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" in Toronto, it received rave reviews, and the midnight screening was still full. Even after the movie started, there were still spectators at the gate who asked for tickets for tomorrow's screening, holding signs and staying around. Chris Fairbank waited in line for three hours to get a ticket. It was hard to come by. He was lucky. Someone lined up for a long time and couldn't get a ticket, so he could only stay. Infinitely depressed.

"After watching the movie, I sat in my seat and didn't move. I tried to remember every detail of the movie, but I couldn't remember anything. I can only recall Ennis's tearful blue eyes, and the It was a pain like tearing. Until people went to the empty building, I was kicked out of the cinema by the administrator~~-update starting~~, standing in the square at midnight, calmed down, let the tears flow. Blown by the wind Go ahead and continue to flow down." This is the first paragraph of Chris Fairbanks' film review, there is no comment on the film, let alone any professional information, just a mood, just like any audience's feelings The same, but it just reflects the shock of Chris Fairbanks.

"I finally understand why Evan would rather risk being blamed by everyone to make this movie, the pure love in the movie is enough to explain everything. No one cares if this is a **** movie or not, No one cares whether homosexuality can be recognized or not in line with social orientation, just calm down and follow the scenes one by one into this story belonging to Brokeback Mountain. We will find that, in fact, love does not need any conditions, appearance, money, Class, gender, age... all are not needed, just have a sincere heart, and everything will become logical.

The night when Ennis and Jack had **** for the first time in the movie Seeing the two of them kissing for the first time made me feel sick to my stomach and even hesitated whether I should turn my head away; when the two met again four years later , that passionate kiss, I didn't have any idea - didn't realize it was two men, just watched carefully; when Jack said 'I wish I knew how to quit you', looked at Ennis was crying like a child in Jack's arms, I hope the two of them are together, sincerely; Ennis found those two shirts in Jack's hometown, Jack's shirt was wrapped around Ennis's, and in an instant, Tears flowed down... Love does not need any boundaries.

So, I apologize, and I sincerely apologize to Evan. It's a classic, and it couldn't have been more brilliant than a wise choice, Evan, thank you, thank you for bringing us Brokeback Mountain. "

To everyone's surprise, Chris Fairbanks did not write as a regular film review, but sincerely expressed his thoughts as an audience, and at the end of the film review, Chris Fairbanks actually apologized . This apology also brought the "self-contradictory" seismic masochistic behavior of the American media to a peak, and then disappeared. Because, everyone agrees, "Brokeback Mountain" is excellent.
