直人看断臂山--我们这儿今儿放断臂山。看的男女人数差不多，都是学校的学生。我以前在电影院看过，在网上当过，今儿是想重温一下大屏幕的感受。可是自开始，怪音，大声的评论不断，大声诡异的笑更是几乎每分钟都有。很多感人的，或揪心的场面观众一概报以发自内心的怪笑。我看到一半，实在忍不住，就走了。心情变得很糟。......
A while later, I read this from Savage Love
I know this is a little late, but I want to complain about watching Brokeback Mountain in a theatre full of gay people.
My wife and I went to a screening in L.A. The place was packed. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of other people there were gay men. They laughed through the whole movie! The more poignant parts brought the house down. Especially the scene where Jack and Ennis first reunite and are caught kissing by Michelle Williams. The whole theater just thought that was fucking hilarious. They couldn't stop laughing as Ennis rushed around gathering up clothes and his wife choked back tears.
As you know, the movie is about two repressed homosexuals. Every time one of the actors allowed that tension to show on his face, the queers in the audience found it hysterical. My hypothesis is that these incidents remind gay people of their own coming-out process, and therefore struck them as ridiculous since they themselves had gotten over those hang-ups long ago. Nevertheless, they seemed to display a real lack of empathy.
Or maybe it was nervous laughter; the effect of the movie was more pronounced on the gay audience members than it likely was on me.

What's wrong with those people? I guess they were just a bunch of lame guys (str8 or gay) who were so afraid of showing their emotion that they could only fake some laughters to conceal it.
Before I came to Canada, I always thought people in North America respect individualities and promote being true to oneself. That assumption has changed long time ago after I saw so many young people comply to the peer pressure. When you are sitting in a subway car, almost every youngster has an iPOD. iPOD used to be a symbol of coolness, now it looks so lame to me.
