Amazing, Breathtaking, Bravo

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2005)

This movie was powerfully insightful as well as a remarkable piece of cinematography. I know that everyone has prejudices that they do or do not acknowledge, but this film elucidated many of my own that I hadn't realized. I cried, my brother (who is a marine) cried, my husband and daughter cried. We laughed, we screamed, we held our breath in suspense. I viewed people differently after watching this film and I will never be the same because of it. I enjoyed its balanced portrayal of different races. How we are not good or bad, we just simply "are". I also marveled at how the vignette approach so intricately documented the impact that each of us have on other people we may have never met. I cannot spoil this film for others, because to do as such would be to rob others of a powerfully emotional experience. There should be many movies like this. Breaking down the barriers!
