Good movie, worth spending 115 minutes.

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2010)

Rating this 9 out of 10 here just because the plot is a *little* too stretched.
Otherwise this is what cinematography was made for. I specifically registered here to add some counterweight to the legion of negative reviews left for this movie here ( did someone get unhappy when the movie got Academy Award over the Brokeback Mountain ? ) By the way, this movie definitely should be watched before reading anything about it. Although racism is the foreground theme in it ( and there are not many good films on the topic ), its not the main one. I believe this film is about the life as it is - lots of sad stuff and some good stuff, and thats what makes the film so dear to me.
