  电影《断背山》中曾使用过的那辆载重量为半吨的皮卡(轻型多功能卡车)眼下正在网上进行拍卖,车主人、加拿大高中生马修·肯尼迪希望能为自己筹集到上大学所需的费用。

  据路透社3月28日报道,肯尼迪说,在去年拍卖电影《断背山》中使用过的车辆的一次拍卖会上,自己买下了这辆由通用汽车公司于1950年生产的黑色皮卡。当他意识到这部影片已经引起了来自各方面的广泛关注后,便决定将这辆车卖掉。他说:"这个电影的影响正变得越来越大,我认为自己可以成功地将这辆车出手,然后把赚来的钱存起来留着上大学时再用。"肯尼迪在eBay网站上这样描述这辆车:当杰克·特维斯特(由杰克·吉伦哈尔饰演)在影片一开头遇到恩尼斯·德尔·马尔(由希斯·莱吉尔饰演)时,其所驾驶的就是这辆卡车。

  到目前为止,竞拍者的出价已经达到了1.5万美元,几乎比8000美元的起拍价高出了一倍。

  A half-ton pick-up truck used in the award-winning gay Western "Brokeback Mountain" is up for sale, and the seller, a Canadian high school student, hopes the proceeds will help pay his way through college.

  Matthew Kennedy said he bought the black, 1950 GMC truck last year at an auction of vehicles used in the movie because he liked its looks, and only decided to sell when he realized the amount of attention the film was garnering.

  "The movie was getting a lot bigger and I thought I could sell it and put away the money for school," he said.

  Kennedy's eBay description of the vehicle says it was driven by Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, when he meets Ennis Del Mar, played by Heath Ledger, at the start of the film.

  Bidding has reached $15,000 so far, almost double the $8,000 starting price, fueled by the ties to the film.
