Is anger or otherwise more important in the BM movie?

<< < (2/2)

Artiste:
May I repeat: Is anger or otherwise more important in the BM movie?
 
Or is it something else, like the opposite?

Reward are your comments,

hugs!!   Happy Gay Holidays to all... on Bettermost and on Earth!!

brokeplex:
What questions are you trying to ask Artiste?

1) Are you asking, does anger play a more important role in the "Brokeback" story and film than in most other comparable dramas?

or,

 2) Are you asking what role does anger play in "Brokeback" specifically?

Before I would procede with a meaningful response, I would need your take on this question:

What role do you specifically feel that anger plays in the unfolding of this story and film?

Don't hesitate to offer quotations from the short story, or scenes from the film substantiating your comment.

--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on December 19, 2007, 10:58:36 pm ---My first reaction is to say that, yes, anger played an important role in the movie/story. It was because of anger that Ennis and Jack parted after they came down from the mountain. It was because of anger that they clashed with their families. It was because of anger that they had the confrontation at the lake. And it was because of anger that Jack ultimately died.

But, what is anger? When you strip away the trimmings, anger is fear.

Wonderful post,Front-Ranger¡ I'd only  disagree in that Jack dies because of hate and intolerance...And I'd add that anger plays  an important role in Ennis case,because IMO is a consequence of his fears,and therefore,of his frustrations.Even of his silences,the things he never said when he must say them,words that became pain inside him and turned into violence explosion.I remember,for example,when  he said nothing to a hopeful Jack who drove a thousand kms. after his divorce;or when he said nothing in return to the words of a less hopeful Jack:Sometimes I miss you so much that I can hardly stand it".If these  reactions had not put anger in Ennis soul,story would have been different,I think.
