What does "brokeback" mean?

Brokeback Mountain, one of the new words "17 1" published by the Ministry of Education in August, 2007, comes from the same-sex movie Brokeback Mountain in Ang Lee. The film Brokeback Mountain tells the story of two young people's 20-year emotional entanglement. Brokeback is a metaphor for homosexuality, and now it is very popular to use "brokeback" instead of "comrade" on the Internet. In ancient China, the love between men was called "brokeback", "Yang Long" and "peach splitting", so "brokeback" was also used to imply the same-sex love between two men.

Ang Lee once said, "Everyone has his own Brokeback Mountain". In this film, Ang Lee really touched the most sensitive and obscure side of human emotions, showing the true feelings that are not recognized in reality. Ang Lee disapproves of people classifying Brokeback Mountain as a narrow homosexual movie, but thinks it should be regarded as a romantic love story and a movie about the feelings of all mankind.
