The story began when the two met at the age of 19, and ended with JACK's death. The vicissitudes of ENNIC ended up sadly thinking of his lover. It tells the relationship between the two of them for more than 20 years.
The film is not only about sex, but about love: a kind of hesitant and hindered love that eventually turns into sadness in the heart.
Show love through repression. "In love, JACK has always been active, while ENNIC is passive. As a result, for more than two decades, the two can only go fishing under Brokeback Mountain once a year to get rid of Acacia. JACK has repeatedly proposed to be with ENNIC, and ENNIC has deliberately evaded it time and time again. In fact, why does ENNIC not love JACK, and why doesn’t it want to be with JACK? It’s just that when I was young, I witnessed the tragedy of homosexuals being killed by discriminatory people. Dare to love. I remember that when the two separated for the first time at the age of 19, JACK hinted that the two would still have a chance to meet in the future. ENNIC just passed in a little shyly. But after JACK drove away in a hurry, ENNIC did. She hid in the corner and cried hoarsely, hit the hard wall with her fists without pain, and blamed herself for not having the courage to keep Jack.
Use the knowledge and sublimation of love to express love. After the two separated at the age of 19, They were married and had children, and lived a life like water. When they met again four years later, the strong kiss between the two was impressive. It turned out that the passage of time did not dilute the passionate emotions in my heart.
For more than two decades, due to the shadow in ENNIC's heart, the two have not been able to be together. Until the news of Jack’s death, Ennis came to Jack’s parents’ farm and wanted to take Jack’s ashes back to Brokeback Mountain where they first met. In Jack's room, he discovered a secret: the shirts they wore when they first met were neatly put on the same clothes hanger. This secret made Ennis burst into tears before he realized how much Jack loved him and how much he loved Jack. ENNIC's daughter came to tell her father that she was about to get married. ENNIC asked her daughter "Does he love you?" After hearing her affirmative reply, ENNIC couldn't help feeling sad: it took her two years to determine her love, and for JACK His love, it took me a whole life to make sure. When I was sure, the one I loved was no longer there.
Use tragedy to express love. When we fall in love with someone, does it open the door to happiness, or is it just a prelude to tragedy? When loving someone persistently, will it inevitably hurt others who love you? To love is because of loneliness. Can you get rid of loneliness when you get love, or is it just in exchange for greater lingering loneliness? In the film, the two cannot be together after two decades of emotional struggle. Love becomes a burden, a shackle, and a barrier to their respective happiness.
Because of that love, the marriage of the two was not happy. ENNIC's wife loves ENNIC, and couldn't help crying when she learned about the relationship between ENNIC and JACK. JACK has waited for ENNIC for twenty years. The loneliness can be imagined, but after all, he can't wait for his lover. After the divorce, ENNIC failed to accept other women, and lived a desolate and lonely life. After learning that JACK had died, ENNI was even more solitary, only treasured their shirts and a photo of Brokeback Mountain, as if that was all he had. Love here ends in tragedy, and ends in endless loneliness.
Li An said: Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts. Brokeback Mountain is like a paradise, with its broad mind accepting a love that is intolerable to the world.
