Yes the plot is very simple. Its a very simple love story. That is why its so great! But I have watched Syriana 3 times now!! It complicated as hell as I guess you know. I would take both of us a long time try write out the plot of that movie, and donâ??t get me wrong I loved it!!

But that does not make it a single bit more intellectual than Brokeback!!
Their wives were hardly a part of the story. They were almost background really. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, I think everyone should check it out at some point. I just don't think they should run out and see it right away.

To each their own I guess.

I'm not a big fan of Syriana either. I'll check out the rest of the flicks before Oscar night. You should start another thread at the end of the month and I'll give you my opinion then.
