Very Eye Opening

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2014)

This film is very good, and very eye opening. It is thought provoking and makes you stop and think before you make assumptions about people. It shows you that every person has a story, and a life and their skin color does not make them who they are. People who say that this film is horrible or unrealistic are ignorant bigots who don't know about the realism of racism to this very day. One if the biggest mind-boggling scenes for me, the scene that made the point of this film hit home, was when Peter Waters (Larenz Tate) was trying to show Officer Tom Hansen(Ryan Phillippe) the he carried the same figurine that was sitting in the Officer's car and Waters(Tate) got shot simply because he was black and Hansen(Phillippe) was scared that he had a gun. Very emotional, very satisfying, very alarming.
