Above is the movie poster of Ang Lee’s new movie, BrokeBack Mountain.
The film won the Golden Lion Award in Venice Film Festival, September this year.
It is said that, the claimed-to-be a cow-boy themed homosexual movie, it’s going to be another Ang Lee’s masterpiece.
The second picture features the 2 main characters in the film; Jake Gyllenhaal on the right, and Heath Ledger on the left.
FYI, Jake Gyllenhaal was the young man, Sam, son of the climatologist in the film The Day after tomorrow (2004) whereas Heath Ledger starred as Gabriel Martin in the film The Patriot (2000), as Mel Gibson’s son.
The first Ang Lee’s movie I watched was Pushing Hands - aka Tui Shou (1992). Later I watched Eat Drink Man Woman – aka Yin Shi Nan Nu (1994). Both are sensible and aesthetic, the Ang Lee’s way; so much emotion are concentrated at one point, but they aren’t said. You will feel the impact are gathered in you while you're watching them. I watched Wedding Banquet - aka Hsi Yen (1993) much later, very well done too – gay is not the main issue, is about love, values and acceptance. And of course the well renowned Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) has even made Ang Lee’s as one of greatest contemporary film directors today.
I truly look forward for the new film. Hopefully it will be screened in KL. Or out of no choice the pirated option will be the only alternative.
