Interesting

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2005)

This was definitely an interesting movie, to say the least. I didn't understand exactly how the accident at the beginning of the movie actually occurred, among other scenes, so until I figure that out, my one-word summary of the movie will stand as "interesting".
I thought it was very well done, the cinematography was very interesting, and the acting was just as good. Brendan Fraser was the only one whose performance left one unconvinced, but we expected that; his acting is very bland and mediocre.
The whole movie seemed to be about racial tension and the boiling points of racism, the LAPD being used as the primary example. Religion also had a very evident influence, but perhaps most of all was the self-realization that every major character experienced after going through life-changing ordeals. This mix of themes really combined to make one compelling and philosophically intriguing story.
