The Brokeback Mountain

[_Aya_]

Давно уже собиралась это выложить...

Professional film critics have heaped praise on Brokeback Mountain. The movie won 71 awards and had additional 52 nominations. Most of the awards were in category for best film, director and screenplay. The film won four Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture-Drama, and was nominated for seven, leading all other films in the 2005 awards. It has won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival, as well as the title Best Picture from the Boston Society of Film Critics, the Dallas Fort Worth Film Critics Association, the Florida Film Critics Circle, the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle, the San Francisco Film Critics Circle, the Southeastern Film Critics Association, the Utah Film Critics Society, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.The film received 'circumspect' positive reviews from the Catholic News Service and Christianity Today.

3 Оскара таки отхватил:

•78th Academy Awards: Best Director (Ang Lee), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score

А вот: MTV Movie Awards: Best Kiss (Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal)

Although there are minor differences between the original short story and the movie, Proulx stated in an extra essay published in a reprint of her "Brokeback Mountain" short stories compilation that she was positively surprised and impressed how Ang Lee, the sсriрtwriters and the actors were able to portray the story, calling it even an improvement from her original short story. She also said that Ledger was "exactly" as she'd envisioned Ennis, but Gyllenhaal was something altogether different, although she loved the way he played it.

The film's significance is attributed to its portrayal of a same-sex relationship without any reference to the history of the gay civil rights movement. This emphasizes the tragic love story aspect, which leads many commentators to effectively compare Ennis and Jack's drama to classic and modern romances like Romeo and Juliet or Titanic, often using the term star-crossed lovers. This link to classic romances is no coincidence: the poster for the film was inspired by that of James Cameron's Titanic, after Ang Lee's collaborator James Schamus looked at the posters of "the 50 most romantic movies ever made".



There was disagreement amongst reviewers, critics, and even cast and crew as to whether or not the two protagonists of the film were actually gay, bisexual, heterosexual, or neither. Most often the film was referred to in the media as the "gay cowboy movie," however, a number of reviewers stated Jack and Ennis were bisexual. Gyllenhaal himself took the opinion that Ennis and Jack were heterosexual men who "develop this love, this bond," also saying in a Details magazine interview: "I approached the story believing that these are actually two straight guys who fall in love."

Ему наверное виднее, хотя не понимаю, какое это вообще имеет значение.

Просто пара забавных фактов:

The film has inspired residents of the state of Vermont to name a mountain in their state "Brokeback". The petition required to name a location has many more signatures than are required. The state librarian's office has said that the hardest part of the process will most likely be finding a mountain that is not already named.

During filming it was reported Ledger almost broke Gyllenhaal's nose during a kissing scene, as the scene required that they pull each other close very quickly.

P.S. Интересно, с чего это мне предыдущая фотка что-то напоминает?

Я вообще в последнее время для себя пишу, но я рада, что это иногда хоть кому-то надо. У других ПЧ приходят, а у меня, похоже, все убывают. Скоро будешь последний герой.)
