Brokeback Mountain was a true forbidden love story, told really well. You almost forget the rntire issue of "gay cowboys". Good Bye, and Good Luck was a clear message film, except it's message was a true one that actually applied to today and sent a real message. Munich was much more of a storey than the political film it's being made to be. As for Capote, I really don't quite see the "issue" there. Just cause he's gay or is covering a muder trial doesn't make it an issue film.

Crash was very aware, in a most annoying manner, of how it should be perceived: as a film about our "hidden" racial biases and how we're all just people inside, without saying a single word about systematc racism or how this kind of racism is REALLY started or anything even close to as subversive as what they want everyone to think it is.
