Sorry if we talked about this already. I have a vague recollection, but I couldn't find the thread. Also, would you believe that I-- of all people!-- haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain" money yet? UPDATE: 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 money revolves around an Iranian family being mistaken for Arab because there are no Iranians hereabouts. Wrong way around, fella. This is Tehrangeles with the money second greatest Iranian population on Earth (after the capital city of Iran). There are over a half million Persians in LA county. The Arab population is 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.
