[QUOTE="satori01, post: 2791192, member: 7859"] Brokeback Mountain is a "Hollywood" film in the same vein that Clint Eastwood directed films are "Hollywood". Most people associate the term "Hollywood" with flashy special effects and little heart or character development. Smoke and Mirrors and little substance. War of the Worlds is Hollywood, Mystic River would generally not be considered "Hollywood". Likewise I would suggest a film about 2 people working on a Ranch in the west and falling in love while being of the same gender would not fit the "Hollywood" moniker. Then again whatever people dont like they term "Hollywood". As for "West Coast Values", I havent a clue where to begin to process that. I guess if you are against functioning economies, multi-culturalism, and tolerance, those values might seem scary. Really I havnt a clue what you could possibly mean, but I guess the left coast is just strange to those people not in it, or what I suspect more likely, portrayed badly and a whipping boy for whatever they dont like.
