The fourth update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

In the second week of December, "The Chronicles of Narnia", which won the box office with 80 million US dollars, disappeared, and "Syrina", which was expanded to 1,700 theaters and won the second place, disappeared. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", whose weekly cumulative box office exceeded 250 million, also disappeared, and "Little Sunshine", which was still in the top ten of the box office charts, also disappeared... In the North American box office charts Everyone on the list is cheering for "Brokeback Mountain", which ranks thirteenth. Ha 18m, because the box office of 170,000 is really appalling. Who knows when this record will be broken.

This time, after the official release of "Brokeback Mountain" in the United States, comments from all sides sprang up like mushrooms after a rain.

Although there have been a lot of professional reviews after the Toronto Film Festival before, and the audience has a preliminary understanding of the film; but this time, the audience really realized the meaning of the film "Brokeback Mountain".

This isn't a **** movie, and it's not a cowboy movie. This is a movie about a man falling in love with another man, but in that social context, this love is suppressed, twisted, struggled, and finally unforgettable. It's not accurate enough to say that, this should just be a movie about "one person falls in love with another". Everything is in the name of love.

Among the professional reviews before this, no one wants to believe their reviews, whether it is "The New York Times", "Film Review", "Sight and Sound" or "Cinema Manual". What is a non-gay movie, what should a man and a man not be **** when they are together; what is a love story that transcends gender, that gender is no longer important, and what should be treated specially in love... But from the cinema After walking out, the audience understands that only by actually seeing the film can they understand why this film won the Golden Lion in Venice, why this film won twenty minutes of applause in Toronto, because it deserves !

Movie. It is a stubborn and heavy force. "Brokeback Mountain" used postcard-like pictures to euphemistically convey the love between Ennis and Jack. That kind of shocking power was quietly stationed in people's hearts before they knew it. indeed. "Brokeback Mountain" should not be deliberately treated differently as a **** movie, because this is not a cry for **** rights, nor is it a conservative observation of homosexuality, this is just a story about love. But at the same time, "Brokeback Mountain" is bound to go down in history as a **** movie, because this movie tells people that true love has no age, nationality, skin color, height, and cultural restrictions. There is also no gender restriction. Homosexuality is not what everyone imagines, not so filthy, not the inherent impression of the public. The film vividly depicts the passion that bursts out between two pure men.

When love comes, there is no difference between heterosexual love and homosexual love.

Such a powerful mind shakes. It was vividly conveyed through the big screen of the movie, leaving everyone speechless. It doesn't matter if you're pro-gay or not, and whether you're willing to change your stance in the future. But what is certain is that after watching the movie, the spiritual baptism is more obvious. This is an undifferentiated ideological revolution.

That ideological oscillation began to explode when "Brokeback Mountain" opened in eight New York theaters in its first week of December, and audiences everywhere began to look forward to the film's release, starting in New York. People who like it are eager to enter the movie theater to enjoy the process; people who hate it are eager to enter the movie theater to find a way to criticize the movie. No matter what they are thinking, the voices calling for the movie to be released quickly are getting louder and louder.

The conservative forces clinging to Wyoming and Utah found their space getting smaller and smaller, and there were even people within them who said they should go into the movie theater and see it so they could find a way to attack. There is nothing wrong with this idea at first glance. But a careful study will reveal that their unbreakable ideas have also been attacked and shaken. This is disastrous for the conservative forces, their room to stop "Brokeback Mountain" from being released is about to disappear, and if it goes on like this, maybe Wyoming and Utah will also miss out.

But there is not much more conservative forces can do now. Because as the film's release time increases and the audience increases, the influence of the film will become greater and greater. It's not about **** rights, but the release of "Brokeback Mountain" is unstoppable. But from another point of view, after the release of "Brokeback Mountain", the issue of homosexuality has been heated up again. Many people who have watched the movie said that it is indeed necessary to rethink the issue of homosexuality. This also means that the homosexual issue has also begun to shake with the momentum of "Brokeback Mountain", and the ideological revolution has already begun.

Now, the only thing conservative forces can do is, first, resolutely oppose homosexuality, which will never be shaken; second, hope that after the release of "Brokeback Mountain", the reputation of "Brokeback Mountain" will plummet, even if it does not plummet, it should go downhill!

Obviously, the second hope of the conservative forces is doomed to fail. Since "Brokeback Mountain" came out in Venice, and until it was released in the United States, more than 67 media have written professional film reviews before and after. Criticisms of the media, including "Premier," were all mute.

In the face of this absolute advantage, in the third week of December, "Brokeback Mountain" was expanded to 327 cinemas, which is much more than the 89 cinemas originally planned by Eleven Studio. Two hundred and thirty-eight rooms, showing the strength of public opinion.

In fact, a box office giant was officially released in the third week of December, and this special moment has also become a hot topic in the media.

Universal Pictures spent 207 million to invite Peter Jackson, director of the "Lord of the Rings" series to direct, and Adrien Brody, who won the Oscar for "The Pianist", became famous for "Mulholland Drive" Starring Naomi Watts and Jack Black, who rose to fame on "School of Rock". This battle, even in the summer season, is an absolute crocodile.

Evan Bell once refused to appear in "King Kong", coupled with his sensitive relationship with Universal Pictures, not to mention David Greenblatt shouldering the heavy responsibility of distribution, indeed this week's "King Kong" release topic is full . In fact, the topic of last week has been very fierce. Although "The Chronicles of Narnia" released by Disney has won the box office championship, and because "Brokeback Mountain" was only shown in eight theaters, it has a great influence on "The Chronicles of Narnia". Small, but on the topic, "The Chronicles of Narnia" was scolded and all the attention was taken away by "Brokeback Mountain", which is really a sad thing.

A month ago, "Little Sunshine" overturned "Four-Eyed Chicken" and let Disney swallow the bitter fruit. Obviously, they are still thinking about what to do with the animation department; now, "Brokeback Mountain" has let "Narnia". The "Legend" is dead, and the only good thing is that last week, "The Chronicles of Narnia" made $80 million at the box office, much to Disney's relief. However, "Brokenback Mountain", which is more ferocious than "Little Sunshine" and has received greater resistance, who knows how it will perform next. Even if it can't overturn "King Kong", it will still impact "The Chronicles of Narnia". One thing that can't be said.

Therefore, an art film such as "Brokeback Mountain", which was only shown in 327 cinemas, competed with "King Kong" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" in the box office rankings. People can't laugh or cry. This war between Universal Pictures, Disney and Eleven Studios has not yet started. When the media mentioned it, Universal Pictures and Disney had already lost.

Universal Pictures and Disney's works won the box office, which is of course, their number of theaters is ten times more than that of "Brokeback Mountain". "Comparatively speaking, a bad situation; Universal Pictures, Disney's works failed at the box office, then the news focus has come, but this will be a complete cup. Universal Pictures and Disney can't afford to lose, and neither can they, so this is a war they're destined to "win".

In the third week of December, "King Kong" won the box office of 87 million US dollars and won the championship without any suspense, but this result will definitely not satisfy Universal Pictures, you must know that their investment is 200 million US dollars, As for the film's reputation among professional film critics, it's quite good Unfortunately, the audience's response did not seem to be very enthusiastic; "The Chronicles of Narnia" won another 50 million US dollars at the box office, and it was a frightening occupation. The runner-up position, the current cumulative box office of 130 million, is also unable to satisfy Disney. Although there is no problem with the original sequel, the problem of word of mouth is still serious.

Last week, "Brokeback Mountain" won the box office of 170,000 in a single venue. The box office of a single venue is another miracle. The box office of a single venue of 70,000 US dollars is enough to make people crazy with envy. No. 1 in the history of the list, even in the first week of the single-house box office rankings, it can be among the top 40, and the final weekend box office of 327 theaters is 23 million US dollars. Although this result is not like the fairytale title of "Little Sunshine", after all, the opponent is too strong, but it still occupies the third runner-up position in the North American box office rankings, allowing the top two "King Kong" and "Nani" Asian legends" have won tremblingly.

A limited release art film, or homosexual theme, but now it has achieved this result, making all the media dumbfounded. With a total of 28 million US dollars at the box office in two weeks, "Brokeback Mountain", with the momentum of the king's arrival, completely overwhelmed the opponents who questioned such as conservative forces, and strongly announced that it has officially landed in the domestic market of the United States.
