20 Years Later, 'Brokeback Mountain' Is Still Ahead of Its Time

82% Left coverage: 11 sources
Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain. Moviestore/ShutterstockWhenever I see a checkered Western shirt, I immediately imagine it with a bloodied sleeve. Thanks to its role in Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee’s seminal work of queer cinema, I can’t help it. It’s one of the first things we see in the film, worn by stoic Ennis Del Mar (the late Heath Ledger) while herding sheep with his fellow ranch hand and soon-to-be secret lover, Jac…See the Story

Love, Regret, Servitude, and Tragedy in ‘The Remains of the Day’

The 1993 movie ‘The Remains of the Day’ tells the story of Stevens; a butler in service to a wealthy lord at his home in Darlington Hall. Based upon the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the story evokes great heartbreak in its audience as we watch Stevens fail at every turn to feel and express his emotions. His apparent indifference to the death of his father, his unexpressed love for Miss Kenton, and his unwillingness to acknowledge his employer’s Nazi…Read Article

Death Battle and the problems with power scaling

Death Battle is a web series that debuted on December 6, 2010, featuring matchups between fictional characters in heavily researched, animated duels—often concluding with a decisive, and usually fatal, outcome. A major aspect of the show is power scaling, a method used to compare characters’ abilities based on their demonstrated feats. While intended to provide clear answers, power scaling often sparks more controversy than consensus. Even with …Read Article

Anti-arachnophobia and Spiders in Literature

Spiders are often demonized in the media, which arguably contributes to arachnophobia being a very common phobia. Shelob in The Lord of the Rings, for example, has been terrifying children for 20 years (in the movie alone). However, in Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, spiders are formidable, but not evil. They are intelligent and ultimately work with humans. In Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, spiders are friends who can carry messages and hel…LiteratureRead Article

Symbolism Movement – The Psychology Behind Art

The symbolism movement, which was a continuation of the Romantic style and included mysticism and heightened sensitivity, originated in France in the 19th century. The world was expanding rapidly at the time, industrialization was making a spectacular debut, and immigration was bringing various cultures together. It also exposed materialism, and in response, symbolist writers and painters turned away from the outside world in favor of investigat…France · FranceRead Article

What Makes a Children’s Show “Memorable” Enough?

I recently came across a cool web video highlighting an hour’s worth of “forgotten” children’s shows. I remember a lot of them, but it’s true that most only lasted one or two seasons, at most five. Even those that lasted several years, are “forgotten”–as in, not readily or at all available to stream or purchase in hard copy. They do seem consigned to the dustbin of television history. Examine some of these shows (examples: Ghostwriter, Gullah Gu…Read Article

Ivory Masks: Performance in Nella Larsen’s Passing and J.D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey

Nella Larsen’s Clare Kendry is a classic, even exaggerated example of what some of J.D. Salinger’s most famous characters would call a “phony.” Salinger goes on about phonies in both The Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey, with Franny Glass suffering a nervous breakdown at the phoniness of it all in Franny and Zooey. Clare Kendry’s “passing” lifestyle in Passing is a concentrated version of the performative behaviour Franny complains about.…Chicago, IL · ChicagoRead Article

The Problem of Precocious Children in TV

Michelle Tanner. Ruthie Camden. Henry Mills. Young Sheldon Cooper. Young Chris Rock. Even as far back as Arnold Jackson and Sam McKinney of Diff’rent Strokes or the infamous Cousin Oliver of The Brady Bunch, television shows have had up and down relationships with the character of the precocious kid. Behavior and catchphrases that begin as cute often start coming off bratty in short order. Sometimes the kids are a glaring Hail Mary to save a dyi…Read Article

From Empire to Identity: Russian Academic Art Between History and Memory

In the West, Russian academic art is often perceived as a relic-beautiful, but frozen in time. Yet behind its sculptural stillness lies a pulse that bridges empires, ideologies, and inner human landscapes. To understand Russian academic painting is to enter a visual tradition where memory is layered over mythology, and national identity is shaped not only by brushstrokes but by centuries of cultural reckoning.Russia · RussiaRead Article
