a very eastern-style film

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2006)

As one of the many westernlised Chinese, I watched Brokeback three times to catch its eastern style, which stands for connotation, oppression, and so on. Each time you watch it, your feeling for it goes deeper and deeper, thanks to Ang Lee's heart-and-soul work. As Ang Lee said in an interview about Brokeback, everyone longs for such a relationship in a lifetime like Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar had. And the movie does give both emotional and calm insight to what true love is all about. Under the surface of peaceful scenes are bitter struggle against the reality as well as themselves. Brokeback Mountain is lucky to be found by those who believe in love, and I wish I knew how to quit it.
