All the pretty Horses (2000)**

Seen in the 2d week of May 2010
Director: Billy Bob Thornton (of "Sling Blade" fame)
Cast: Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz
Two Texan boys who go to Mexico searching for work find themselves in trouble with law there because one of them falls in love with the daughter of the local rich man. The romance is like what we find in Indian movies where the hero continues to love against all odds only to end up a winner. Here the ending is not like ours though, saving it slightly from the pattern. Hard to imagine that Billy Bob Thornton made this movie.
