too simplist

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2006)

I don't know how this film won the academy award. Maybe because it deals with a subject that is very urgent in the USA, but i'm not an American and i can't say it with proper certainty.
but looking at it as a film, i think it's a very simplist, a movie of script, and not direction. And you can see too much of the script on the screen, there's no truth in what happens: it's all there to prove a point that the filmmakers want to talk about. Pure manicheism, disguised as changes in the way the caracthers view the world: the bad cop turns good in the very hands of the girl he first mistreat; the good cop suddenly kills a black guy, innocent at the moment, because he also has prejudice; the rich woman discovers she has no friends, her best friend is the hispanic woman who works for her.
It's black or white, doesn't have grays, this film, all disguised.
i really consider it a bad movie. four out of ten
