Reply #26: I've Seen All The Nominated Movies...

I wanted Brokeback to win just to piss off all the right wing wackos, and it is a fine movie about "repression" of authentic love by societal norms.

I believe Good Night and Good Luck had the most important "message" from a liberal standpoint but I think Brokeback was the best film.

I also liked Capote but it's about an artists conflicts and while interesting not as "important" in terms of message.

Brokeback was about repression and its effect on the lives of mortals. Also important.

Munich was good but I felt it was contrived in terms of some of the devices Spielberg used to tell the story, the sitting around and eating while they planned more hits, for example.

Crash was noteworthy in exposing the universality of racism and racial prejudice and the failure of humans to realize their own failings.
