..the young teens get attached to a sweet innocent, funny Ann Hathaway....Princess Diaries I and II..
...then she segues to Brokeback Mountain..
...or Jake Gyllenhaal....so cute and cuddly in October Sky....
..and then, you guessed it...Brokeback Mountain
It might be a coincidence.....but I doubt it.....and this just names a few.
I see your point. We choose our movies on content, rather than actors. I didn't realize the actor in "October Sky" was in "Brokeback Mountain," because we don't follow young actors. It's more like, "Oh, that guy, whatsisname, was in that other movie we saw!"
