I haven't seen the movie, but if I'm not mistaken, "Brokeback Mountain"
is not about cowboys. It's about sheep herders. Mixing up the two is
sort of the American Western equivalent of confusing Serbs and Turks or
Poles and Russians.

Serbs and Turks or Poles and Russians ? Wow, geez, I did not know that
_only_ Serbs/Turks or Poles/Russians can be "mixed up" (but, thanks to
your message, I have to remember that this usually happens to the
'nano'-educated Westerners) !

What about mixing up Americans, Canadian, Australian and British ? Or
perhaphs you think these are "special", unmixable nations ? ... You're
wrong : seen from Serbia, Turkey, Poland or Russia, they are all some
Anglo-Saxon hordes...


PS - You asked for such an answer.
