Title: A short summary of Jack and Ennis' Love situation by Ang Lee... It might help.
Post by: Jay-ee on Mar 06, 2006, 11:25 PM

This was the interview of Ang Lee regarding Brokeback Movie and this Question caught my attention.C=

Q: You've been quoted as saying that the movie is about the impossibility of love. Can you elaborate?

ANG: I think the gay factors, after a while, maybe half the movie, the circumstances are set. They can live together. Ennis has a choice to make it work. That’s why jack complains later in the movie. All they got is "Brokeback"? That’s bullshit. They’re both gays, but one chooses to be more adventurous. The other has to go through self denial and only accepts it when it’s too late, when he missed him. That is true. Eventually we surpass the obstacles and it’s really a search for that obscure object of love.

Yes...this is what makes it so sad, it IS up to Ennis and he is scared to grab love when it is offered...

Thanks for posting this gem of an interview.  The most in depth with Ang to date I think.

Yes thank you, I think I read a few questions used here and there, but that's a great find.
