The Bar was Raised in October

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2000)

When I walked out of the movie theatre the first (of 7) times I saw this movie within its first six months of release, I said to my friend "that movie is the standard to which every movie I see, for the rest of my life, will be measured." I meant it, and I still feel it. It was amazing, powerful, thought-provoking, and above all, IMPORTANT. This film can teach the world so much, everyone should see it at least 3 times. If I were rich, I'd give all my money to the writer/director/producer/actors for making a movie that changed my life. I haven't been affected by a movie nearly as much as by this one, and I'm so glad it was created. I felt as though it was created for me.
That's it, I'll keep this short. I gave it a 10 only because that's the highest I could go.
