It's difficult to know if this movie would be as powerful were it not for Edward Norton.

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 1999)

I believe this is one of the best films ever made and put it on the level of Schindler's List. I wish everyone had the opportunity to see it. However, it is difficult to ascertain if the film would be as good if it were not for the acting abilities of Edward Norton. Even with unspoken dialog, he comes through. I believe he will be the next Hollywood "superstar." The film's only defect was the title. I purposely delayed seeing it because the title sounded so boring. But boring, it was not. I still relive some scenes in my mind. And the ending, although depressing, made the movie very true to life. This film gave me both insights and hope: insights into hatred, and hope that someday we humans will overcome the fear of others different from ourselves.
