A late start

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2001)

I just bought this DVD yesterday based on the advice of many of my friends that had already seen it. I wasnt really prepared for what I saw.
Im not going to bother arguing the nitpicking that has been done on this film, because it is senseless. It is a preference to like or dislike a movie, and a preference cannot be wrong. However, I *strongly* disagree that this film is loved by so many simply because it has an important and relevant premise. Many movies that attempt social commentary come out every year, and very few of them are ever embraced like this one has been.
Yes, there were some flaws. Every movie that has been made since the invent of the motion picture has had some flaws, it just comes down to two categories: those that take away from the movie and those that dont. In this case, they did not, in my opinion.
Anyway, incredible acting, incredible film. Again, it wasnt perfect, but it is extremely powerful and poignant. I highly recommend everyone watch this and form your own opinion.
