Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

In the United States, issues such as homosexuality, race, abortion, etc. are exactly the same, and they are all hot potatoes that cannot be touched. M//.// So, in every presidential election, these issues will become the focus of controversy along with economic, war, immigration and other hot issues. This is a deeply ingrained consciousness problem in society, and it's not something that can be changed by one or two events, a novel, or a movie. This requires social progress and consciousness transformation to change.

Just like when the Internet was born in the 1970s, many conservatives believe that the Internet is a beast and the beginning of a disaster. But after entering the 21st century, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's lives. The issue of gays and lesbians has been around for centuries, and it has grown considerably since the beginning of the 21st century. Now the annual **** parade in New York, San Francisco and other places has become a huge event. The rights of the **** community were also officially put on the table, which led to heated discussions. And all of this was absolutely unimaginable in the era when the "Brokeback Mountain" story took place.

So, about race, about homosexuality, about religion, these issues are bound to continue to be debated. At least in Evan Bell's lifetime, the debate will continue. Evan Bell knows that the controversy about "Brokeback Mountain" will not disappear. What he is arguing and protesting is the eligibility for the release of "Brokeback Mountain", and it is the basic rights that everyone has.

Looking back at the release track of "Brokeback Mountain" in the past life, it received rave reviews, set off a wave of ideological revolutions, and triggered a new round of discussions about homosexuality, but it was still repeatedly resisted during the screening process. At the Oscars, he won best director but missed out on best picture. Rather than saying that "Brokeback Mountain" lost to "Crash" at first, it is better to say that "Brokeback Mountain" lost to social ideology. Losing to the academics who want to reform but are not firm enough is a matter of social and cultural trends.

In this lifetime, not to mention the future prospects of "Brokeback Mountain" in the awards season, the controversy over the release of "Brokeback Mountain" has become more and more serious now. Things have completely exceeded expectations. The confrontation organized by Evan Bell here is huge, and the rebound of the conservative forces has not shown weakness. Although they only have two forces left in Wyoming and Utah, this is their strongest position. Both states have staunchly resisted the screening of "Brokeback Mountain" here. .

Wyoming is a gathering place for western cowboys and is currently one of the most conservative states in the United States. This time, the story of "Brokeback Mountain" happened between two cowboys. Absolutely angered the land, and it's no surprise that conservatives, instigated by their outcry, protested the release of the film.

Utah is the birthplace and stronghold of Mormonism. When it comes to terms such as religion and conservative in the United States, Utah is a place that must not be missed. Mormonism is one of the most violent religious teams against homosexuality. So, homosexuality in Utah is one of the most detested states.

Conservatives retreated to Wyoming and Utah, although protests were rapidly reduced. But the momentum has not weakened in the slightest, but has grown stronger. In Wyoming and Utah, conservatives staged sit-ins. We firmly oppose the release of "Brokeback Mountain" here, and the theaters in these two states have shown no signs of compromising with Eleven Studios.

When this confrontation reached a peak, "Brokeback Mountain" was released!

On December 9, "Brokeback Mountain" was the first to be screened in New York, the Land of Freedom. Even if conservative voices are more decisive, support for Evan Bell in New York is still unparalleled. "Brokeback Mountain" held limited screenings at eight cinemas.

In fact, in the second week of December, there are ten new releases, including the menacing "The Chronicles of Narnia". The film was co-produced and distributed by Walden Media and Disney, and Eleven Studios had considered buying Walden Media. But it was rejected because they clearly had high hopes for "The Chronicles of Narnia". This masterpiece with an investment of 180 million is considered very promising to become the second best-selling "Harry Potter" series. This time it was released in 3,600 theaters in the United States. It came for the purpose of box office success.

Add to that three-week "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" starring George Clooney and Matt Damon, the high-profile "Cyrina" during awards season. Of course, "Memoirs of a Geisha", which is ready to hit the Oscars, "Little Miss Sunshine", which shines throughout November, and "Four-Eyed Chicken", which has been trampled to perfection, is very lively in the North American film market in the second week of December.

But even in this case, "Brokeback Mountain" still attracts the attention of most people. Everyone is looking forward to what kind of reaction this movie will cause after its release, and how conservatives will launch a new round. protest demonstrations.

It is worth mentioning that December 9th is also the day when Evan Bell's "first" world tour set off. Even if Evan Bell did not appear at the New York screening of "Brokeback Mountain", Madison 〖 The concert stage in the Square Garden has also become the best publicity scene. The "first" world tour will follow the release of "Brokeback Mountain", and the publicity journey will be launched simultaneously. It will also become the first dual publicity road for singers and actors in history. As for the result, we can only wait and see.

Not to mention the stage of the "first" world tour, "Brokeback Mountain", which affects the nerves of audiences across the United States, was officially released, and "Entertainment Weekly", which has been producing the "Brokenback Mountain" feature since Toronto, sent out The reporter arrived at the eight movie theaters where the screening was held in New York for a live broadcast.

The "Brokeback Mountain" feature produced by "Entertainment Weekly" became the biggest highlight of the film's promotional period. William Wood analyzed all aspects of the film, from the music and costumes to the scenery and customs of Wyoming. , cowboy culture, the development of the historical background, and the separate interviews of the main creators. This topic, which lasted for more than two months, has been written in the eleventh issue when "Brokeback Mountain" was released, and has attracted countless readers. The popularity of the film has also made the audience look forward to the film itself more and more.

William Wood intends to cooperate with the release of the film, continue to produce special features, and begin to analyze each character in the film, as well as the relationship between the characters, as well as the development of the plot, and finally the film review topic, as well as the social impact. If all goes well, he can keep the feature until the Oscar nominations are announced.

The recent release of "Brokeback Mountain" has sparked intense discussions. William Wood also produced a special feature that strongly condemned the cross-border behavior of conservatives and religious groups. He even took stock of the many taboo subjects in history. s work. The most famous of them all is that last year's Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" caused as much confusion in the United States as it did with "Brokeback Mountain", but "The Passion of the Christ" was at the box office. It was an unprecedented success, grossing $370 million at the box office, making it the best R-rated movie in history. In June this year, "Entertainment Weekly" selected the "25 Most Controversial Movies" list, the film topped the list. And "Brokeback Mountain" can't even squeeze into the top five. So, William Wood's conclusion is that conservatives are making a big fuss, exercising their right of speech recklessly in the name of being anti-gay, but also banning the release of "Brokeback Mountain" is really absurd. .

"Entertainment Weekly" reporters stood at the gates of eight New York movie theaters to interview the first wave of screenings, which is also a continuation of the previous issue. William Wood hopes to present the audience's support for "Brokeback Mountain" truly, and tell those conservatives: This movie is not only not a beast, but also a rare classic, it deserves more applause !

Four hours before the official release of "Brokeback Mountain", the gates of the eight cinemas were already surrounded by countless supporters. The willingness of these eight cinemas to be the first to broadcast "Brokeback Mountain" is not only the result of Tye Case's great mediation, but at the same time, they are also Evan Bell's most loyal supporters. Especially after the conservative slogan of "No Screening" came out, these eight movie theaters have decided that all screens inside the theaters will be "Brokeback Mountain" on the weekend starting December 9 ” service, and 24 hours of non-stop playback.

This is definitely a very bold move. To know whether "The Chronicles of Narnia" can win the box office for the time being, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Little Miss Sunshine" that are currently being released are definitely able to have a box office. Once theaters decide to show only "Brokeback Mountain" it means that those who want to see other movies will choose other theaters. However, for these eight cinemas, this is not a problem. They used their actual actions to express their firm support for Evan Bell.

When Ang Lee announced the official opening of the screening at the Times Square theater, Gotham City began to go crazy for "Brokeback Mountain". The eight theaters are constantly flooded with audiences, and some people even request that even if there is no seat, they are willing to sit in the aisle to watch the movie, which makes the eight theaters like a carnival carousel, always with a steady stream of customers.

And the grand occasion of the eight theaters also made other movie theaters jealous. It is definitely not an easy task for a movie theater to be a crowd-pleaser. But now the crowded scene is lively and vividly staged in eight movie theaters in New York City, and the collapse of other movie theaters is still to come!
