great film

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2006)

This was the best film made in the last 5+ years. A good movie keeps you thinking after you have seen it. It has been 2 weeks since I have seen it, and I am still mulling it over in my feeble brain. Yes, it tackles tough issues, but it does not preach. I was left feeling rather empty. The realization that one's prejudices are so far reaching was rather over-whelming, but in a good way. I think that we take our prejudices for granted - that we are supposed to think a certain way. This makes us want to re-assess our judgments and our beliefs. So while one may say it is a depressing movie, I disagree- it is an uplifting movie based in reality
