The open glory of the scenery is in absolute contrast to the social entrapment that fates jack and ennis to loveless marriages and negligent , ineffectual fatherhood .
The summer range lay above the tree line on forest service land on brokeback mountain . It would be jack twist 's second summer on the mountain , ennis 's first .
夏日的山脉横亘在断背山林业局外面的林木线上,这是杰克在山上第二次过夏天,埃尼斯则是第一次。
The early scenes languish on the epic majesty of craggy peaks , electric storms , and endless horizons dotted with conifers . Searing life memories are made for jack and ennis .
Ennis 's anxiety over a more permanent commitment to jack is both real and imaginary . He is a hurt animal prone to violence as an ineffective cure for his sexual desires .
But ennis , haunted by a childhood memory of his father taking him to see the mutilated body of a rancher , tortured and beaten to death with a tire iron for living with another man , is immobilized by fear and shame .
