But, I agree with Sam (I think) - whatever the down-sides of Brokeback, it was wonderfully acted, well-written and IMHO stunningly directed. I appreciated the slow-pacing and enormous backdrop scenery - I think it captures something about living in that part of the world ( southwest, plains and west - where the skies really seem to stop time for days at a time)
