a little more complicated than just racism

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2005)

This film was not really about race, but about our own (as humans) contradictions and complexities. Nothing IS black and white, no one lives their lives without their own story, and that is what this film explores. It uses racism as a facilitator of this phenomena. This film could easily have dealt with sex or death or love in the same way. We all have our reasons for what we do and how we feel and none of us have clear and concise answers for how we live out our lives, but rather, have lifetimes worth of experiences that clout and enlighten our existence. This film did a superb job of exploring our conflictions and torments and ultimately our realizations for whatever they're worth.
