Clearly, Hollywood thinks the American people are complete idiots

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2006)

If I want my intelligence to be insulted at the movies, I go see a really cheap horror film or a low-brow comedy. I was told that this movie was powerful, and I spent the length of the movie waiting for it to develop into something more than a really long public service announcement. I just could not understand the people who said the movie was brilliant, or even the people who said it was good. It just took one person after another, and showed one of two transitions, either from blatant racist to compassionate human being or the other way around. I actually despised all of the characters because there was no depth to them, and found myself hoping that they would be killed off. This movie just goes to show that more often than not, the Academy does not recognize a movie that may have creative or stylistic merits, they merely follow the politics of Hollywood.
