haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain" yet? UPDATE: feste Old thread here. I didn't find the Denby review convincing. ANOTHER UPDATE: Roger Simon picks up something I should have noticed, but didn't. Haggis gives away his own LA-myopia in one telling detail of Crash. Much of the plot revolves around an Iranian family being mistaken for Arab because there are no Iranians hereabouts. Wrong way around, fella. This is Tehrangeles with the second greatest Iranian feste population on Earth (after the capital city of Iran). There are over a half million Persians in LA county. The Arab population is feste miniscule by comparison. But from Brentwood, I guess it's all the same. The Iranian/Arab mistake could still happen, of course, but it's less likely in Los Irangeles than anywhere else. (I have absolute and total persian authority on this, having lived in LA briefly with an Iranian roommate. Hence the only person who could credibly contradict anything I say would have to be Iranian himself, and where would we ever find such a person?)
