Displays the ugliness and ignorance of society

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2005)

This movie really makes you examine the way you view and judge others around you. Many people are of a different ethnicity from you or are of a different religious persuasion. Sadly, this often influences our attitudes and behaviors towards them. The movie is well-written and the cinematography really adds to the ambiance and feel of the movie. The characters all experience their own situations where stereotypes and biases influence the way they handle these situations. All the characters come to a revelation in their own experiences and are challenged to correct their way of thinking or otherwise confront their own character flaws. While it seems the movie is a collection of unrelated events at first, it soon becomes clear that they are all interconnected somehow. This is much the same case in real life, where our actions have a ripple effect in our society. I highly recommend this movie. It is a "must view" for those prone to racism, class discrimination, or intolerance in general.
