    Film Analysis 1-Brokeback Mountain

    The document summarizes the film Brokeback Mountain. It introduces the two main characters, Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, as 19-year-old bisexual ranchers. Their relationship began as coworkers and grew into a secret romantic relationship. Isolation brought them together but also kept them apart as societal norms of the time disapproved of homosexuality. In today's more accepting climate, a same-sex relationship would be more normal. The document analyzes their relationship development through Freud's psychological theories of id, ego, and superego. It cites three scenes demonstrating this. Key learning insights are to follow one's heart in matters of love and be truthful with loved ones.

    AM22 Mr. Monchito Avila
    Film Analysis 1: Brokeback Mountain
    1. Who are the main characters in the film? Give their profile in terms of the
    following:
     Full name: Ennis Del Mar
     Age: 19
     Civil Status: Divorce
     Sex: Male
     Gender Identity: Bisexual
     Occupation: Rancher 

     Full name: Jack Twist


     Age: 19
     Civil Status: Married
     Sex: Male
     Gender Identity: Bisexual
     Occupation: Rancher, bull rider

    2. Describe the relationship of the two (2) main characters. What is their
    relationship in the beginning? How did their relationship progress? What are the
    factors that contributed to the intricacies of their relationship? What are your
    thoughts about this?
    At first, they were partners in their occupation as a rancher in Brokeback. After days
    near one another, they turned to friends then lovers. Isolation is a key factor within their
    love story, isolation brought them together, but it also drew them apart. I have to say it is
    a good movie and it portrays very well the complexity of homosexual relationships.
    3. Using the lens of Gender Fluidity, explain in your own words the acceptability
    and the normality of their relationship assuming that it happened at present. What
    is your ethical and moral stand in this situation? Elaborate your stand using
    evidence-based sources. 
    In today’s time, Homosexual relationships or any relationships outside of the custom
    norm of men and women are being accepted by society. I would have to say that I stand
    by with gay relationships, love is love. Nothing can change that. When Ennis was about
    to get married, he was unsure and not happy with his soon-to-be wedded wife. You
    could see in the movie when Ennis punches the wall after jack left, you could see his
    frustration and sadness having to pretend that nothing happened. You could also see
    when both main characters when to have affairs with their wives, they were in peace
    and happiness.
    4.  What psychological theory/theories best explain the gender identity
    development of the two main characters? Cite three (3) scenes in the film that will
    support your claim. 
    The psychological theory that I could interpret as a good understanding is a
    Psychoanalytic theory by Freud Sigmund: ID, EGO, and SUPEREGO. ID is more of
    unconscious and impulsive behavior, we could see when Jack let Ennis in the tent
    because he was cold, then they began indulging in indecent acts. EGO is the
    Subconscious standard of living, we could see that both of them get married and have
    kids, due to that being the norm and acceptable than having a gay relationship.
    SUPEREGO is a Sense of self and mediation between imagination and reality, we could
    see this when they were having an affair with each other, their relationship is the fantasy
    part of SUPEREGO and their wives’ relationship serves as the real part of SUPEREGO.
    5. What are your three (3) learning insights after watching the film?
    I learned that we must be with the one we love and we must follow our hearts. I learned
    that love is confusing and at times we are lost in the roads of life, but we must stay
    strong and it will solve itself in the end. I learned that it’s better, to tell the truth rather
    than hide it before you lose the one you love.
