Slightly disturbing, but worth the wait.

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2003)

I have been waiting for two years for this movie to open. I was slightly surprised by what I seen when I finally seen it. At times it was a little slow but I found the setting amazing. I find it amazing that old New York was recreated on a set. What I find disturbing is the racism and hated found in that movie. I realise that it is of that time period and a part of American history ( from what I know about American history.) Frankly it disgusts me to realise that this is what created the "New World". This, however, cannot be changed. Nonetheless, I loved the movie. The acting was great, the setting was great, and the movie, was great. Mostly I loved how it opened my eyes to the struggles that my ancestors found when they came to this world.
