断背山英文简介 The Impression after Reading Brokeback Mountain The original short story Brokeback Mountain written by Pulitzer Prize winner E. Annie Proulx was published in The New Yorker in 1997. are Ennis and Jack, The main characters of Brokeback Mountain both are high school dropout country boys with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life.” Ennis and Jack meet each other in Wyoming, where they're hired to watching over a large herd of sheep on Brokeback Mountain. Alone in nature's grandness, they are drawn to each other almost without their knowing. The summer ends and they go off to the rest of their lives. Ennis marries his sweetheart Alma, and Jack, moving to Texas, falls into a marriage with Lureen, a rodeo rider with a well-to-do father. They think that what happened on Brokeback Mountain is over, but it is not. They have stumbled into the great love of their lives, with all the problems and complications that implies for themselves. So they begin a sporadic and tormented affair in which the two meet once or twice a year for fishing trips on which no fish are caught. Jack urges that they forsake their marriages and set up a ranch together. But Ennis is immobilized by fear and shame. Until one day Jack was killed in an accident. His only wish is to spray his bone ashes on the Brokeback Mountain. Ennis found Jack's old shirt from Brokeback days. The shirt seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it. It was his plaid shirt. The pair likes two skins, one inside the other, and two in one. What Ennis has now is only the memory of Brokeback Mountain and what he has on hand. Once someone said that everyone has his own Brokeback. It can be the one we love, the place we once spent a good time in. I do believe that things sometime look more beautiful when it is not complete, just like the Mountain’s name, Brokeback.
