*Monologue

Here comes a very well-organised forum: http://www.ennisjack.com/, covering from the latest news to a deeper analysis of the film itself, including the characters and quotes. Now comes a chance that we can show our thanks to Ang Lee, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway as well as the staff involved in this masterpiece through this webpage!
Though Crash was voted as the best motion of the year by the Academy,
Brokeback Mountain is truly "the best picture of our hearts"!  

It could be the last time for me to get up so early, around 4 am,
just for finding out if BBM had won the Oscars or not.
Disappointed by the category of the best motion picture,
I just cant figure out the reason that if Crash really deserved it.
If people could really get over the debate on racial discrimination, also
the main theme in Crash, how could it be so hard to accept
a gay theme film like Brokeback Mountain, dealing with the gender issue?
I dont think those voters were too stubborn to make a right decision,
but they were obviously too afraid to accept the fact that theres no
such thing like Adam and Eve, or what so-called Paradise Lost.
Love doesnt only belong to a couple, but more precisely also
to those people who are dedicated to it even if they choose
the same sex as their well-beloved.
Ang Lee also said : "They taught all of us so much, not just about the gay men and women whose love is denied by society but, just as importantly, about the greatness of love itself.",as receiving his award in best directing.

----------------------------------------------

Brokeback Mountain is leading the field at the 78th Academy Awards with eight nominations, including best film.
Ang Lee has a best director nomination for the cowboy romance, building on his Golden Globe success, while its star Heath Ledger is up for best actor.

Fellow best film nominees are Good Night, and Good Luck, Crash, Capote and Steven Spielberg's Munich.

The Academy Awards ceremony will take place in Los Angeles at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on 5 March.





Bookmakers William Hill have made Brokeback Mountain their hottest favourite in history to win best film, at odds of 1/8. Director Lee is virtually unbeatable with even shorter odds of 1/20.

Lee said of his film on Tuesday: "I thought it was a small work of love. I never thought it would play like this."

Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck, and Memoirs of a Geisha - adapted from the best-selling book by Arthur Golden - all share six nominations.

This year's Oscar race is the most open field since 2000, when frontrunner American Beauty also had just eight nominations.


MAIN NOMINATIONS
Brokeback Mountain - 8
Crash - 6
Good Night, and Good Luck - 6
Memoirs of a Geisha - 6
Capote - 5
Munich - 5
Walk the Line - 5
Pride and Prejudice - 4
The Constant Gardener - 4
King Kong - 4


The nominations are seen as a triumph for independent film over big budget blockbusters, with only Munich having a budget over $15m (£8.4m) out of the five best film nominees.

Three of the best director nominees are all relative newcomers, in a year dominated by new faces.

Bennett Miller (Capote), George Clooney (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Paul Haggis (Crash) face two of the most respected directors in the industry - Lee, and Spielberg, nominated for political thriller Munich.

Clooney picked up three nominations in total, two for Good Night, and Good Luck (best director and original screenplay) and one for Syriana, for best supporting actor.

British actresses Dame Judi Dench and Keira Knightley will go head-to-head for the best actress Oscar, for Mrs Henderson Presents and Pride and Prejudice respectively.

Dame Judi is up for her fifth Oscar, while it is Knightley's first, for her role as Elizabeth Bennet.



Dame Judi, 71, said she was "thrilled", adding: "I'm so happy to be nominated for something I loved filming every single day."

The pair face competition from Walk the Line's Reese Witherspoon, for her role as June Carter Cash, Charlize Theron for North Country, and Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman, who starred in Transamerica.

In the best actor category, Ledger is up against Terrence Howard for Hustle and Flow, David Strathairn for Good Night, and Good Luck, Capote's Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Joaquin Phoenix, who plays Johnny Cash in Walk the Line.

British actor Ralph Fiennes missed out on an Oscar nomination for The Constant Gardener, but co-star Rachel Weisz is in the running for best supporting actress.

"It is wonderful as a Brit to be honoured in this arena," said Weisz, 34. "I'm just happy that the film and the issues raised in it are being recognised."


In another British triumph, the first feature-length Wallace and Gromit film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, vies with Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and Howl's Moving Castle for the best animated film award.

Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, who has already won three Oscars, said he, and co-director Steve Box were "over the moon".

Italy's Don't Tell (La Bestia nel Cuore), France's Joyeux Noel, Germany's Sophie Scholl - The Final Days (Die letzen Tage - Sophie Scholl) and South Africa's Tsotsi are joined by Paradise Now, from the Palestinian territories, in competition for the best foreign language film.

沒想到我德國室友Masuuda上禮拜也去看了斷背山
忍不住好奇她的反應
他說他覺得拍得很好 很感動
而且使他對於亞洲電影更有興趣
所以他也想去看Memoirs of a Geisha
只是他竟然說台灣也有geisha嗎=_=
不過昨天跟日本同學聊到這部片子時
他也覺得導演竟然找華人演日本片覺得很奇怪
後來我們的結論是 反正西方人不懂分辨日本跟華人拉XDDD
可是我們還是決定一起去看這部片子
到時在看看他的感想如何好了
嘿嘿不過今天Nina總算說好話
他說斷片能獲得那麼多提名真的很厲害!
而且昨天還獲得英國Bafta的提名耶
還有就是他也想找Andrew一起去看
我墨西哥室友则說這是部感人卻悲傷的片子
害我今天忍不住打電話回家叫我父母去看
不過要有可能前面會有點悶的情形就是了
不知為何 真是太開心了
大家的評價都很正面呢^^
套句我朋友說的
斷片就是『好山、好水、好朋友！』
還是一部好片！



  

BM除了電影動人
音樂也真的很棒
選的很符合電影情節
有三首我很愛:
He was a friend of mine
A love that will never grow old(the best original song)
I dont want to say goodbye(歌詞請看觀後那一篇)


*He was a friend of mine-Willie Nelson

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a friend of mine.

這一首讓我想起Jack死去的那一幕
也是片尾曲 當最後緩緩唱出時
對於Ennis而言
Jack不只是他的最愛
也是最了解他的朋友吧



*A Love That Will Never Grow Old - Emmylou Harris

Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of our lives.


Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.

When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.


Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

這一首很好聽!不愧是最佳原創歌曲
情境在描述兩個人重逢在帳棚裡擁抱的一幕
Ennis躺在Jack懷裡
兩個人的愛不因為分開而消失
卻是在次相逢 才知道
原來愛已經那麼深了



  

這張照片是最後一幕
兩件衣服重疊在一起
是Jack與Ennis
在斷背山裡的那段日子
也是別離前夕所穿的衣服
是最後幾幕當Jack死後
Ennis前去Jack父母家
Jack母親說他可以去參觀一下Jack的房間
Ennis無意間在衣櫥裡看見這兩件衣服
衣服袖子上的血跡未被洗去
而血是因為兩人打架而造成的
可是Jack卻一直珍惜著
把它們小心翼翼收藏在衣櫃裡
也把對Ennis的愛 深藏心中
Ennis看到時 情緒終於崩潰
離走前 他要了這兩件衣服
於是他離開了 離開了人群 選擇了獨居
最後一幕 Ennis含著淚水看著兩件衣服
與Jack寄給他的斷背山明信片
於是終幕
"He was a friend of mine"音樂響起
對於Jack與Ennis而言
一切的開始在斷背山
最美好的日子也在斷背山
可是沒有兩人
斷背山終究 只是一座山...  

真是不可思議
到現在心情還很激動
李安的片子就是有這種力量
含蓄溫和 但是強而有力
剛開始看斷背山時
我承認有點悶
沒有強力的節奏
有的是淡淡的音符
一直持續著 一直重複著
然而一次的擦槍走火
卻是糾纏20幾年的愛情
一直走到片子快結尾
Jack對Ennis說的: ''God, I wish I knew how to quit you!''
而Ennis的回答:''Well why don't you? Why don't you just let me be, huh? Because of you, Jack, that I'm like this. I'm nothing... and nowhere. ''
我的眼淚當場飆下來
之前的那股深沉的力量 終於爆發
整部影片中 沒有太過於露骨的愛情
因為對彼此的愛意
已經化成眼神-
在Jack看著Ennis背影
也在Ennis興奮與Jack重逢的那一瞬間的表情
'我愛你' 這三個字 已經溢於言表
不知為何 一直重複著聽著I dont want to say goodbye
想到這兩個人 就很想哭
不愧是斷背山的主題曲
淡淡旋律 卻有強大的力量!


I Don't want to Say Goodbye-Teddy Thompson

I don't want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through.
I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is love with you.
Just like the light of the morning
After the darkness has gone
The shadow of my love is falling
On a place where the sun always shone.

Don't you know that's where our hearts both belong?

'Cause I don't want to say goodbye.
Let the stars shine through.
No, I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is love with you.

Together our two hearts are strong
Don't you know know that's where our hearts both belong?

'Cause I don't want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through.
I don't want to say goodbye
All I want to do is love with you
All I want to do is love with you


ps: 照片是電影院裡拍的 看了下觀眾人數
非假日 小小的戲院 只有15個人
但是能感覺到 其他觀眾也被感動了
回去跟室友談到這部片子時
好驕傲 我室友也知道Brokeback Mountain與Ang Lee
現在的心情有點混亂 等冷靜後我在來分析一下這部片子^^
