After reading The movie.
However, why a low-key film will be a huge success? This is what we should explore the issue. As creators, we should learn what to Ang Lee?
an adaptation of < br> original color and is full of pathos prose short stories, and Ang Lee presented to us, is a sad life style sheet. novels most of the brutal, wild and romantic all the factors to be decisive plane , and these are precisely the most novel part of Li Hua Cailiang.
novel begins like this:
Eni Del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing seam drilling from aluminum doors and windows, the blown shirt hanging on a nail shudder slightly. He gets up, scratched and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, poured the last leftover coffee children with a chipped enamel pan.
concise description of realistic life without taboo, a natural tendencies. In the novel, two gay male character in the unrestrained desire, general description of Lu Anne is realistic and concise description of the flesh throughout. to the end, there are such a simple description of passion.
wake up, he sometimes sad, sometimes happy. sad when wet pillow, sheets will be happy when wet ... ...
, all of these scenes were deleted, all is quiet at the beginning of the end of the screen context, without a trace of passion.
two were reunited four years later, to a motel sex, the novel also has wild explicit description. Jack also Egypt Nice said, Jack talking. warm yellow light, lens at their naked upper body, this lens subtle and affectionate, without any passion.
film, the gay sex scene the much omissions, leaving only a drama, That is a tent, that scene in the dark for the lines, I saw two shadows. This is the first time two cowboys sex, since they never sexual scenes. We see Ennis in the movie and Jack, seem to be more emotional dependence, rather than dependency.
director seems to want to make the audience think that homosexuality is among the most valuable feelings of attachment to each other, not sex. This tendency to meet the big secret Most people's ideas. Most people think that sexual impulses are vulgar, too many of the scenes would undermine the purity of love. That, Lee said that the main causes of homosexuality is not a sexual feelings. This is a typical Chinese style view of the novel Anne Lu Pu obviously does not think so.
As a director, Ang Lee, Anne Lu Pu and fiction of the artistic style of a significant difference. novels, many beautiful and moving description of the screenplay adaptation of context is deleted when all . such as a motel, the novel in a cold rain, hail, wind hit the door the sound of two people making love in the dismal context, these films did not.
Suddenly two men were reunited four years later, can not help kiss together, Ennis's wife was seen. novels elaborate description:
door opened again a few inches and Alma stood in the narrow band of light years.
; Alma whispered what she saw. In the room behind her, a flash of lightning lit the window like a white sheet waving and the baby cried.
lightning, Baby Grand cry, thrilling moment. And the movie, just a remarkable day, the wife opened the door upstairs, accident saw her husband and another man in the downstairs corner kiss, she closed the door busy. Then came Jack with Ennis , introduced to his wife, said they were going out for a drink. wife some panic, it seems had a chance to shock, she stood to the top of the stairs in a daze. The play of the atmosphere is very homely.
patience if you read the entire movie, you will believe that this homemade treatment is deliberately oriented, definitely not due to low cost. All the romantic description of the nature of the sensational cut away by Ang Lee, in favor of a plain, homely atmosphere of life. Ang Lee This home-style more than a dozen years ago, from the tendency of Compassionate drama scenes in the film can only be used in the business.
homely style of the film there is a benefit for the gay, is gay can look as normal as heterosexuality. A few years ago, Peng looks like homosexuality, like heterosexuality flat, off guide responded by saying that he is gay want the audience to realize that now as normal as heterosexual, homosexual love is regardless of the opposite sex. This view has also been inherited by Ang Lee. Mountain, strange things, gay cowboy life and ordinary people, hidden in their hearts a secret only. This is to enhance the status of homosexuality in the world of good heart.
of the so-called home-style, is infected with a credible image of living people, rather than the sensational circumstances of exaggerated drama. scriptwriter added many more fragments of life, such as the case of Bear injured Ennis and Jack for his dressing wounds, and together they hunt the sheep, as a small joke fight, and so on. two After each married, how daily life, how and his family, how to have sex with his wife, and how to maintain a delicate relationship with their children, and so on. is worth mentioning that Li Ante intended to Ennis intercourse with his wife, two are shot out, one behind the front dry dry again, the second in particular, exposure, and fully exposed the hypocrisy of marriage without love, and his wife's innocence. the content of these seemingly prosaic life, because each role is very clear, the details are very specific, it more convincing.
original in some very cruel things, are being cut. such as Ennis's father, in that year with Ennis Ennis-year-old was killed to see a gay, the face of bloody corpses, and he kept laughing, so it cast a shadow over the hearts of Ennis. Nice movie Recreation father only one back, it is important to see the performance of the body when young Ennis terror, there is no the plot of his father laughing. Another example is Jack's father, the novel was a rude and ruthless man, the son of the dead Mamalielie, into a film immersed in And then, on the son's gay partner slightly hostile indifference old man.
all the romantic nature of the love scenes are deliberately suppressed. magnificent romance novels, was interpreted as a touch, a certain melancholy atmosphere images. film begins with scenes of several metaphors, for example, so often, and two sheep characters together, the two main characters with the sheep metaphor, they have relations, the Ennis mixed feelings, ride to the sheep, they saw a bloody sheep lying dead on the ground. This indicates that Jack's death, but also indicates their love tragedy. In addition, when two people did not hit in the hunt, the hunter was running, which indicates that their wishes will come to nothing. Origin of this metaphor a little scene, but really almost touching love scenes. I believe that many deliberately to The film will be disappointed to find people who touched it did not look like the film One night, Ennis drinking Zuixun Xun to go back, The words are very limited, so they deliberately keep their distance from the lens, the image is always two people together with a lonely, sad mood.
Jack and Ennis, respectively, the recall twenty years ago Ennis in Brokeback Mountain give him a hug to his unforgettable, fantastic original description:
day vigil for a long time before they fire, the fire glowing bright red, to keep her shadow cast in stone, seamless, like columns. only to hear Ennis pocket watch ticking, saw the fire in the wood slowly burning into charcoal. in each other's stars and firelight, Ennis breathing calm and long, what his mouth gently humming . Jack leaned his arms, listening to the steady heartbeat, the TV drama. It was like a faint heartbeat current, make him a dream not a dream, intoxicated. until Ennis, his mother used to say that when used kinds of soft tone woke him: trembling, and said freeze them eternal life difficult moment, artless, charmed happiness. ... ...
movie is unusual during the day, going to burn bonfires, Jack stood in front of charcoal, Ennis gently hugged him from behind, in the said a few words into his ear, and went away. taste the same chewing wax. Lee intends to bonfire night into day pretty soon burn out the charcoal, suggesting that two people fate has done, the change to fully explain Ang Lee for moving not interested in the love scene, he just wanted to convey the mood of sadness.
maintained a deliberately flat, pressed romantic love movies, how can achieve great success? This should be discussed in depth.
Second, the interpretation of the < br> In the film, Ang Lee resorted to the magic he does best --- shape the character. can be said that shape the character is the longest term Ang Lee, the Chinese director of this first person he called. It was after reading Sense and Sensibility kcal got out, walked into buildings under the blue sky, leaning against a light gray on the activities of the house, looking down silently to wait. prospect of a train rumbles by, the guitar sounds leisurely, vast land of silence, there is a lonely sad atmosphere.
a young man wearing jeans standing against the wall, this is Hollywood one of the most classic POSE. For example, starring James Dean position different from the previous rebellious youth, he kept his head down, hat covering his face, low-key and quiet. He was wearing a brown jacket, note this dress is quite an art. the film is a silent introverted Ennis man, Jack is much more outgoing than he, Jack, is more suitable for fair to tan. But when two people together, usually brown Ennis wearing bright clothes, Jack only dressed in black or blue clothes. This arrangement makes sense . First, Ennis is the main character, Jack, a supporting actor who played opposite the two main characters to be highlighted. Second, although Ennis inward silence, his heart is very real contradictions, so use bright colors highlight of his contradictions. s Third, I think there is a possibility that refer to the I do not like that movie, exaggerated contrived to smear the tragedy into comedy, and very hypocritical. However, because of the film to male prostitutes for the theme, depicting a male prostitute and a pimp cripple the friendship, there is concern about the underlying meaning, or have social significance. The film does not directly portray gay male prostitute and the lame, a bit secretive. It was the sixties, the social atmosphere is still not open enough, mainstream movies are not positive to promote homosexuality. This film stills is: with a male prostitute dressed in a brown fringed cowboy clothing, standing huddled against the wall holding the shoulder, looking blankly ahead; short lame to wear black clothes, took a cigarette, like a shadow behind him.
Lang confusing impression. I think that Ang Lee can not enjoy the movie, but the choice of clothes inspired by its actually very possible.
beginning of the film, Ennis stood against the wall, looking down silently, hat cover half the face. the train had He Diao on a cigarette, smoke a few bites, he seemed reluctant to sucking, wiped the ash, the remainder of the cigarette into the shirt pocket. Note that this little trick, which shows that he is curry favor with poor, even the smoke province of the smoke. fields at the end of this time there drove to Ennis looked up. We saw his side, a well-weathered red face, rough skin, face slightly immature, he squinted under the bright sunlight, look bleak . his hands in his coat pocket, showing his introverted temperament inferiority plainly written on his face. fleeting glance, this face immediately impressive. silent, rude, introverted, low self-esteem , that is, and the public memory of the past, a completely different image of the American cowboy.
We all remember the Marlboro ads, cowboys on horseback Walk the Line, as well as Hollywood westerns, there are countless getting rid of the cowboy hero. In those films , the Cowboys or cheerful enthusiasm, or bravery. But when Ennis this face appears, all the cowboy image of the past are untenable, because this face is too persuasive. This is a full workers face. cowboy is working, we can not believe that such workers.
to enter a black pickup truck, would not start. Jack got out and kicked a little car, which that his character is very outgoing. Jack hands on her hips, chest and back, and saw standing against the wall Ennis, stepped forward a few steps, would like to say hello, by the cold. Ennis down silent, circling the ground with their feet, ignore him . Jack turret, surface with a laugh, that means it does not matter. when used close-up lens, we see Jack pretty faces. this face is too beautiful, like a laborer, which indicates that the movie he could not have been hard labor. Ennis to be outdone, also payable to glance Jack, have refused to accept the color surface, so what that means you have a car, in front of me showing off ah? This is a man sensitive to each other due to rivalry between the common scene.
we finally see the Ennis clearly positive, this is a angular face, facial expressions seem very tough, but his hands had been inserted in the coat pocket, indicating that low self-esteem within his personality. Ennis looks tough rude, cowardly heart inferiority complex, this species close range five seconds to fully expose his personality.
starring 希思莱吉尔 I am full of respect. Academy Awards ceremony that day he and his wife sit together, look indifferent, and the general look of youth nothing Petty different. He said he was from Australia, when he shows the appearance of reference to the Australian people, and he worked hard in Wyoming accent, so that my words like a pure cowboy. His performance is incredibly realistic. He created and they are completely different from a classic image. from Ennis to get off the back, to the panoramic views and vision, to glimpse the side, and then officially unveiled the front seats, a total of only two minutes. is a two-minute shot, easily subversion of the Hollywood myth of the cowboy as long as seven years, this is really amazing achievement. This achievement is the director Ang Lee and starring 希思莱吉尔 together to create, and who think of a more extreme example of you?
director The carefully prepared much more. Ennis saw the employer's car over, grabbed on the steps of the busy and small, standing waiting for. The bag is quite an art, enough to reflect the director's skill. This bag is the burden of Ennis, which has Ennis replacement clothes. This package can not be a backpack or bag, that would make Ennis like Petty. In fact, most directors would not think of a cowboy-on-hand to the poor candidates must have at least a burden.
two cowboy door with employers. Ennis took off his hat, the little bag on the table, side by employers to the wall to listen to orders. Ennis characteristic standing there, he likes to cross his legs against the wall and stops, which are is the inertial position of those within. behind him, Jack stood in the room which frankly. This indicates that the two people shot in the nature of the film, Ennis is the first main character, Jack, after a supporting role, within Ennis, Jack outgoing.
for the difference between the personality characteristics of two cowboys, the director of their well-designed shape. they just met, Jack saw Ennis, smiling with open arms to hang on until the car looking at him, but his hands Ennis In the coat pocket, ignore him. Jack always love talking with both hands on his hips, Ennis was the habit of his hands in his coat pocket, which is their apparent difference. In addition, Jack liked to dress, comb hair, oily, and Egypt Nice hair is usually tangled.
important to highlight the characteristics of denim. Since the jeans are workers, we can not like Westerns, as power and prestige in the octahedral jeans, usually have some down-manual workers. film of two cowboys , both stand or sit, or on horseback, are some hump. There was a scene of two cowboys riding across the river into the middle, slowly one after the line, they are worried about the silence, looking down like hump very heavy. this scene to overturn a kid I saw the Marlboro ads. that ad a dozen hearty cowboy movie stirred waves across the river, music, raging wild, and now think of it is really funny. Americans have been in the landscaping themselves, As Chinese people like themselves have been vilified.
western cowboy gun fight scenes often, the film Jack and Ennis are not good at guns, fighting'd routine. Ennis Once the emotional anguish, we must fight leak. time in an open-air camp, he heard someone using foul language, hit him once in the past, a kick put the mustache man Chuaidao ground. He proudly stood, a Yang-shoot camera, sturdy physique fist Ennis 佝偻着身子standing, bitter look at the failure of opponents, several flower fireworks rising from behind him, blooming in the night sky, the wife turned to her child did not look back aghast. lonely cowboy tough to find someone to fight low self-esteem is like that But is the man to escape the bottom of self-abuse, nothing more. This sad scene left a deep impression on people.
just make a character come alive is not enough, the protagonist must be sympathetic to the audience, this is the usual American creative ideas. the original can not leaked in Ennis homosexuality because he was afraid of being killed, and his inner cowardice, afraid to face discrimination in the secular. This role is too humble, and not liked. screenplay think of a idea to keep Ennis appears to be kind, a good father to his aura. For example, after the divorce Ennis, Jack drove him out rush to date, Ennis was denied, Ennis said he and his daughter to be together, Jack goes to go back, it said Mingainisi loves his daughter. film occur several times a child hold the lens Ennis Ennis, stroking her daughter's face, pouring daughter Ennis, Ennis picked up the daughter, ending at inadvertently left the jacket, collar with chin withstood carefully folded, on a deep sniff, and then clothes into the closet, the little details that Mingainisi full of love.
painstakingly choreographed with starring Greece Silaijier excellent performance, and finally to a pitiful, cowardly heart low self-esteem, the appearance of the silent gay cowboy tough stand out vividly in front of us. This is definitely a classic artistic creation!
worth mentioning the two film actress. Li Ante Italy chose a long innocent baby face with a female actor to play Ennis's wife, she won sympathy for the role, but also add a layer of marriage Ennis Tragedy innocent. Another very good actress, she looks pretty clean, speed is slow, arrogant attitude, a look impressive.
Now we talk about camera control. I like the beginning of the end of the two scenario. at the beginning of a great panoramic view, blue sky, white clouds floating, low horizon, a row of plain white building. Ennis far into the depths of the lens, he is to Brokeback Mountain, to the best young love. end Ennis tears off shirt at the door, closet, two shirts, plaid shirt wrapped Jack Ennis blue shirt, top nail a postcard Brokeback Mountain, which is both a witness of love. cabinet door closed Ennis and Jack's secret love for up to two years to be shut in the closet. cabinet corner on the right has a small skylight, window field road, the scenery is lush, like the past, the good youth, and elusive. This is an open shot, echoing the beginning of the big picture, full of melancholy atmosphere. This is the film's finishing touch.
In addition, Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain scenery is otherwise a successful treatment. In order to echo the postcard Brokeback Mountain screen, Lee repeatedly with large panorama, the mountain looks and exquisite appearance, like postcards. Lee said, there is a Brokeback Mountain, like everyone has the same dreams or memories. We know that, whether a dream or memory and reality has a distance, if Brokeback Mountain represents dreams or memories, then between Brokeback Mountain and there should also be distance. So, the movie actor often two peaks in the far front or sitting or standing, tall mountains as the background of their activities. Ang Lee Brokeback in this image reflects the dream of the distant mountains. This treatment somewhat blunt, more flat, and the beauty of the original context of human Hill compatibility does not match completely. But Ang Lee insisted to do so, he bent on making his own films.
fact, Ang Lee is an ulterior motive. there is a scene, the two surface of middle-aged cowboy in the mountains in the night to sit at the foot of a river, they at first silent, then a dialogue like this is like two Chinese scholars in the face of mountains of poems, love is not passion, then rain, look like denim. Ang Lee's intentions Obviously, it is to be applied to situations of Chinese landscape painting the landscape of the western United States, Zhang Shan, foot tree, horse-inch, bean person, this painting style in the eyes of Chinese people not surprising, but very rare in the United States. In fact This is Ang Lee's three tricks.
important is the content control. At first glance this film, I am most surprised that why it is consistent with the original story, and style very different. Ang Lee's style? realism ? but he never touched the ugly, which can count realism? We can see from a few small details Ang Lee's tendencies. original two opposite roles, the foreman Joanna Quayle and Jack's father, in the face Homosexuality is blasted, but Ang Lee's treatment, although the two roles the same state and the original lines, but is more like indifference, not recruiting offensive. That is, Lee appeared to avoid irritating factors, whether it is ugly, brutal, sensational, or wild, and he just a touch of sadness and lonely atmosphere. This is the traditional style of Chinese art: Complaint but no anger, ridicule rather than ridiculed.
plane of the painting landscape style, the mainstream literature, three-dimensional techniques have been introduced to the painting, the pioneer of the Chinese film is the most despised of the image plane. but the two in China, the art style is outdated and was moved to the United States even after the popular . mainly because of the special theme, exotic theme with Chinese-style manifests itself in subtle style. video created an unprecedented, real cowboy, the cowboy looks stubborn silence, inner cowardice inferiority, he and his homosexual couples are often in the mountains husband tree-foot horse beans were like Chinese landscape context, or sitting or standing with one lonely and sad scene. The sight of subversion in the past seven years Hollywood's western image, this is the movie reasons.
Third, gains and losses
In summary, we can conclude.
film's success lies in:
one, decisively sorrowful and beautiful prose novel into a detailed enrich the life style of subtle film;
Second, successfully created an unprecedented, authentic gay cowboy image, creating a atmosphere of lonely sorrow of the American West.
we have to admit, the film lack of appeal of love scenes. In order to create a subtle sense of beauty, deliberately suppressed romantic, the result is plain film style. However, the movie cowboy and western atmosphere is considered to be credible, is an astonishing subversion of the past, Hollywood video, so Ang Lee was awarded the Oscar for Best Director.
Now, we can see Ang Lee's three strengths: first, shape the characters; Second, Chinese aesthetics; three, not to deprive people of the characteristics of aesthetics, even if restrained person irritant, it can not distort or simplify human nature human nature.
for Ang Lee, I would say, first of all, as a Chinese, I thank him for his long-term faith in the Chinese traditional culture. Since the May Fourth Movement has been too aggressive trend rejected all traditions and the result was a lack of cultural self-confidence of Chinese people, always look to the outside, what are the foreign good. that cultural traditions are fragmented, long-term self-esteem of Chinese literary and art workers from the sewage, literary and artistic works strange cavity strange tune. Ang Lee to Chinese aesthetic concepts outdated moved to the U.S., the award success, this fully shows that there is no gap between aesthetic ideas, as long as the use of subject matter, as can traditional Chinese aesthetics to life. China's art workers have no reason to continue to ignore the traditional Chinese culture.
Secondly, I respect Ang Lee's low-key. He seems never thought when the master, and no one thought that Ang Lee is the master. Ang Lee took only popular feature films, but he attaches great importance to shape the role that he and other Hollywood directors are very different. Lee is particularly concerned about those who can represent a region, a nation, a class of people, he focuses on those who describe an attempt to show those who live behind the cultural traditions and way. at this point I would like to talk about, because of China's filmmakers, the lack of respect for life is this attitude of respect for humanity.
the form of many Chinese artists obsessed with aesthetics, the characters work just as part of the layout. cover a large number of creators to fame eyes, their own cynical self-deception, not respect do not respect the reality of human nature, they will distort the reality of human nature to demonize, to use exaggerated form of cover up their poor literacy. Mainland film, in addition to starring Leslie Cheung, Chen butterfly The Story of Qiu Yi and starring Gong Li, there are other distinctive role? I can not remember. The Story of Qiu Chen Dieyi and very special, not as a class representative of Ennis. Chinese workers, peasants, students, officials, teachers, etc. People with Chinese characteristics, I do not remember the movie had these Chinese people have accurately reflected. Chinese film lacks real character, those who like to live like us ordinary people. the lack of Chinese films often echo of life .
Jia Zhangke once known as the meet the Ennis road: the unique character modeling, realistic daily atmosphere, full of interesting relationships. can shape the image of a classic like Ennis. But then he completely immersed in the aesthetic concept of time and rough in the unable to extricate themselves, no longer create a similar role in Xiao Wu. I do not blame what he meant. I mean, this proof of a low-key thing again is inevitable that the creator of the elite ideology, elitism is the creator of nightmare.
Review of film history, we can not believe that any form of aesthetic and extreme style to win the film, audience and was limited. people are more willing to keep in mind is a picture of a clear face, especially those they touched the face. This is the significance of characterization. People want to be a work of art is often an echo of life, are consistent with their inner need the spirit of the partner, which is why people want to see other people's stories, to see the reasons for the lives of others. If the creator is given a realistic atmosphere, gave not a credible figure, then looked after the majority of the audience forget those scenes, no matter how you decorated the poetic scene, how to do a plot stimulation. Aesthetics is a high-level needs of people, not everyone understands spatial aesthetics and colors; stimulation is needed for shallow people, it is just a form of entertainment. and a realistic figure can easily become part of the audience for understanding the world, will always be remembered by the audience.
how to create a realistic figure? from the analysis of Ennis know, first of all is the modeling Some action details, as well as determine the character and class identity. important is human, to respect human nature, not distort human nature and human nature as to how specific performance, mainly to see how to deal with the role of relationships. Having said that we can know where the problem out where the creators of most Chinese do not want to face reality, so can not write real relationships. This is the Chinese film and Chinese literature the main reason for the long-term white hole.
good and bad of human nature, the audience like a good person. Why? because the inner urge to have the love and freedom. nature, man's heart is also bad, but if one works to promote evil, will have been cast aside, because people have a sense of moral shame. People like pay for the image of love and freedom. such as Chen Dieyi, he did not look very credible, but many fans still like him, as indeed he is the only one obsessed with the movie the pursuit of love and freedom of people. Think really poor.
So, if the elitist form of aesthetic fascination, or the decadence of the United States, or cruel beauty, that is their freedom, I believe there will be some people enjoy their work, but it is difficult for the masses. really remembered by the public, or distinctive character, especially those in life for love, for freedom, for justice and giving. such as Ennis, he was just a humble cowboy, and his heart, love unknown, he was afraid of being noticed, but he insisted on two decades of love. life, he often hurt themselves, but he never hurt the children, although he self-esteem, has been trying to make themselves stronger. If the film shape the credibility of such distinctive characters, then this movie will become a timeless classic.
