"some cute quotes about michelle from the people who did brokeback
mountain;
"Diana Ossana: Michelle’s a powerful presence, and she’s very moving as Alma. I have been impressed with her ever since Dawson’s Creek; I thought she brought a weight to that show that it otherwise didn’t have. Because of what Michelle brought to Brokeback Mountain, I think we get a true appreciation for Alma and her dilemma and loss.
"Heath Ledger: Michelle’s ability to dive deep within her soul never ceased to amaze me. She’s a brilliant actress.
"Ang Lee: It’s a very sad situation, and Michelle is very genuine about [portraying] it; she should rip your heart [out]. I like making dramas about conflict, through which you examine humanity – the complexities in human relationships – and see where we’re at. Dramatically, this was like a gold mine to me.
"I went down to Texas to visit Larry, who’s like the authoritative father figure in that world. I had the privilege to be toured by him to all of [the real-life] The Last Picture Show places. We went to the ranch where he grew up. I took photos, and he talked to me about the West. He’s very generous about sharing his experiences – and his books, for art department research.
"He also gave a list of places to visit in Wyoming. So I went all over Wyoming, [where] Annie Proulx [also] spent some time with me. Doing the research, and being there in Wyoming, really helped a city person like myself.
"Marit Allen: Ang wanted to reflect the reality of the story, the places, the people and their economic situations. Ang, [cinematographer] Rodrigo Prieto and myself all studied Richard Avedon’s book Photographs of the American West. He took photographs in the 1960s, and revisited [the subjects] twenty years later. There was a photograph in the Avedon book that we took as the template for Alma. Michelle Williams understood it, and embraced it immediately. |

| You have got to admire the way BBM has been marketed. They screened in only five cities, all of which were sold out, setting records for earnings per screen, and generating great buzz. They have spent no money on TV advertising, but they are on TV all the time. They will have their widest distribution at about the same time as the results of the Golden Globes. And they had already broken even financially before the first screening in the US.

| I just wish it were playing closer to where I live. I am going to have to go to the city to see it. Which is not so bad, but I would have liked it to be released in my local area too. |
