The Saddest Part Is The Reality of It All

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2001)

This was the best movie I've seen in years. It is certainly the best movie of 1998, and in the top 3 of the 90s. I first watched this on USA, and was unimpressed with the poor dubbing (I don't know anyone who says shut the freak up on purpose) and the removal of important scenes, so I changed it after an hour, though what I saw intrigued me, so I rented it. I was shocked at the end. This movie was more than excellent, it was one of the greatest movies of all.
I couldn't believe my eyes. I find that some controversial movies are only controversial because they add in different colors and tilt the camera while showing graphic violence in slow motion. This is all fine and well when the movie is good and trying to make a point, which most don't, but this one did. The cinematography added to the already powerful setting.
Many found this movie to hard to watch, and some were disgusted by it. I don't easily offend, so I'll watch about anything, but this movie's brutal violence and rape scenes where so hard to watch, because of the realism involved. Events like this happen everywhere, and the horrific things one will do to another are terrifying, and this is what this movie was saying. People who hate one another for race or religion don't accomplish anything, and I think this movie stated that very well.
This is now one of my favorite movies, and I will remember it. This movie leaves disturbing and tragic images. The acting is excellent (Norton should have won Best Actor, how well), and the plot was all too real. I recommend this movie to anyone who handles strong violence, neo nazi's, rape, and death. If you do watch this,you may be disturbed, but you won't be let down. 10/10
