　　(欲蓋弄潮；有的翻譯成避風港) imdb 7.8 (Brokeback mountain 7.8)故事很單純，簡單到好像到旁邊就有可能發生這樣的故事，如此地貼近生活。

Zach

"Ha, funny, Gabe never mentioned anything."

"I just never knew you knew about me."

朋友間的互相打鬧，然後就有了奇妙的化學升溫作用，就像李青與趙英互相傳球，突然之間產生了悸動。

Shaun

"I need some time."

"I still don't know this is just I want....for good."

"This is not as easy for me as for you; you know, this is all totally new to me."

"I can't take whatever I want; my life is not like that."

有太多相關的故事著重在激情(或期望是個爆點)，這部的重點在於Zach的心情轉換；當Zach呆在車上，Shaun到車上與他說話，結果Zach說著氣著，淚就不自覺地流下了，這種複雜的情緒宛如看到第一次Jack離開Ennis，Ennis跑到陰暗牆角邊，雙腳再也支撐不助快要爆炸的情緒而屈膝跪下，想要哭喊卻又極度壓抑，甚因路人經過而情緒被迫中斷，那樣的情節實在令人說不出話來的難過。

Jeanne

"Please tell me you''re just confused."

"OK, your confusion is one thing. But bring Cody into this is totally FUCKED!"

"It's not about Shaun; it's about us.It is about our family."

"You don't know shit; he is a little kid. He's not gonna understand this."

"Are these the family genes that make you went off to have your big gay wedding? You'll make the family proud?"

"But, Zach, now you're just a son of fuck, ok? You produce yourself to a little piece of ass, so BRAVO!! You're doing REALLY WELL for yourself! Do you think that is a good operation for him?"

涉及了家庭的議題，讓故事的內涵大為提升。不是雙親的掛念，而是放在手足之間的交情。手足之間的認同可能是讓雙親接受的墊腳石，然而如果這個變成一試煉石，甚至是絆腳石，儼然形成一個無法突破的阻礙與隔閡。不論Jeanne的私生活如何，然雖是出自對Cody的關心，但對Zach的冷潮熱諷讓觀者不得不站到Zach同一陣線，為他抱屈，為他加油。

Cody

"How come we never see Shaun anymore?"

"Why did they leave?"

"Like my Daddy?"

或許這邊又牽到一個話題，就是關於Jeanne的小孩Cody。如果要延伸對小孩的影響又是一脫拉庫，但它很簡單地建立起Zach/Shaun與Cody之間的關係，沒有在之間加入過多"成人的觀點"，讓人看來也許是個可接受的相處之道。

Gabe

"You've ever seen other guys?"

"I've heard they gave better head; they gave better head, don't they?"

"Do they swallow?"

"Do you think the kid is hot?"

朋友之間的相處倒沒有特別著重，口頭上表示支持，看是個感人的畫面；但諷刺地是，比較令人印象深刻的是擁抱之前Gabe挖苦的語氣：雖然看起來想要用輕鬆的話語帶過此時可能有點"尷尬的情境"，然而這種帶有性暗示的揶揄卻令人情緒複雜：如此的語氣竟是來自好友，這樣的承認換來的卻是嘲諷式的玩笑，更別提陌生人又會以何種的話語流言對待了。

Tori

"I've already known. Known for a while."

與女孩的愛情是真是假？是屬於Zach愛情的試探摸索期嗎？對於Zach來說，他想要盡力去滿足Tori的需求，他是可以愛Tori的；但問題是，有愛無性的愛情，對於彼此是好的嗎？這樣算是真誠的面對彼此嗎？這也是個值得深入討論的議題，但故事用得很簡單，甚是有點愉快的方法將他們兩者的愛情畫下句點。

　　總結來說，故事很棒，描述從第一次接觸，到逐漸接受(可能還不完全)的心情不會很突兀刻意，讓人在觀看之虞，也會幻想著如果發生在自己身上，會考量是否此為可採取的策略之一。
