Lost in Adaptation.

- Abstract
The essay focuses on the motion picture "Brokeback Mountain," which is based on a story written by Annie Proulx and was directed by Ang Lee. Topics include the performance of Heath Ledger as Ennis, the ambiguity surrounding the murder of Jack, criticism of screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana for misrepresenting the short story, and the words that suggest one man can make another man gay. The film was presented as a tragedy and did not focus enough on affectionate scenes and the men's love for one another.
