Very disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (25 April 2006)

Maybe I rented it after it has received Oscar,so I had high hopes. But this is one of the few movies that I cannot even finish watching.
Granted, it is intense. Graphic is impressive and music is good.
But what this movie is trying to say? Racism is bad, truth. Racism is born out of ignorance, fear, and resistance to changes, those all happen to be human nature, and can hardly been easily profiled. However, this movie overuses profiling and dramatization, the approach itself represents the essence of Racism.
It is OK trying to make a point. It is bad that the point did not go through, it is horrible that what the movie preaches is exactly the opposite of what it actually conveys, and it is sad that people would think they can use overdramatization to replace sensible thinking and education.
