Watch Brokeback Mountain on DVD at home, in private, free of any interference devices (see article
http://brokebackers.blogspot.com/2006/ 02/brokeback-mountain-dans-la-salle.html ), singles, couples or friends, is a great moment, whether the first discovery of the film or whatever again. Unquestionably, in the light of the only evidence submitted, this landmark film has been seen and reviewed with great care by those he touched cough heart.
Availability is greatest, the strongest feeling, the emotion still increased despite the reduction of part of the screen (except those lucky enough to have facilities home theater ...) which is less suitable to the grandeur and beauty of the landscape Wyoming's supposed to (actually Alberta).
At the DVD release, Annie Proulx had to jump, although it is hoped that by far his retirement this information does not reach him ... while a freelance uncultivated described as "pornographic" (sic) its beautiful a new nickname criticism published in a monthly French specialist ... Fascinating, the degree of ignorance, in an environment that would be cultural and that is never a merchant ... Readers of the magazine did not fail to manifest the face of such stupidity ...
For DVD enthusiasts, the Zone 3 edition from Hong Kong remains the best, not the difference in content, but by the exceptional quality of the pressing and the soundtrack (DD 5.1 DTS ES and EX). By cons, no French subtitles, but the original language does not she? especially in the highly respected text of Annie Proulx?
Clearly, much is expected bonuses, how much secret of assembling this film the actors' lives, will it disclosed? Not much actually. And it's probably better that way. The key is obviously not there.
bonuses, sometimes repetitive, as drawn from several interviews and stories and cut / glued together in different sequences bonuses (Sharing the story / Directing from the Heart: Ang Lee / On Being a Cowboy / From script to screen / and the DVD Zone 3 a sequence of presentation at the Broadway Cinematheque in Hong Kong January 21, 2006 with Ang Lee, no subtitles ...) have the merit of summarizing the history of this production: Annie Proulx published his new in 1997 ; Screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana were passionate very quickly to this new and proposed their adaptation to Hollywood studios, very cautious (they should have consulted a psychic!); The years went by before a branch of Universal Focus Features, is interested and then contact was made with Ang Lee. The interviews reveal
: Ang Lee, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway (which shows a good analysis of the temperament of Ennis), Michelle Williams, Linda Cardellini, and very briefly Gustavo Santaolalla. The training scenes, training Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in cowboy roles (walls already physically for this role, actually) are distracting and amusing but mostly confirms their innate ability to the embodiment of these two key characters, Ennis and Jack. It is noted, moreover, no competition between these two actors, but real involvement into complicity in order to best serve the story by Annie Proulx. The advantage of youth in the trade, while their elders are most often their stars. The players visited Montana to soak up the scenery, places, social habits, the quest of this culture which is non-verbal cowboys, with their solitary companion horse. The preparation appears to have been thorough.
For example, Heath Ledger did not hesitate to express his pride at having participated in Brokeback Mountain and he hoped that the feelings transmitted raise more questions than answers. Michelle Williams made a correct analysis of the emotional reactions of the first public movie. Ang Lee
deals with infinite delicacy, palpable in his eyes and his personality, his involvement in implementation. The care he has brought to many external asked the technical staff and sometimes resulting in long delays: expectations and proved to us viewers, have clearly contributed to the climate of the film, to the internalization of the characters by the actors. When the rhythm and time to listening and invite an inner truth ... In the opinion of Jake Gyllenhaal, Ang Lee has shown mysterious, with little appeal to conversations, using the metaphorical connection (such as milk and water ...) but prefers communication to another level. Ang Lee was indeed the prime contractor, the magician, subtly transforming the text into images of Brokeback Mountain.
We would have liked extra: an interview with Annie Proulx, but honors its discretion, the awarding of the Golden Lion at Venice, one of the first jumps of the public history of film with the Toronto Film Festival; a logbook to how he conducted for the making of the splendid
Do not come knocking. But the element of mystery has unparalleled taste.

• The Remixes CD (yes, yes, the remixes! if you had escaped) from the soundtrack of Brokeback Mountain (Brokeback Mountain Theme remixes released by Verve Forecast in 2006 , available in the U.S.) ... hard-liners who liked music and chords of Gustavo Santaolalla subtle remain in the original, but a detour " dance "is not forbidden, the first two remixes of the CD clearly outweigh the advantage on the third which can be forgotten
