Great Movie for Free-Thinkers, and Others

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2019)

This is a good story, and nicely told and acted. It's worth watching a few times, because it has a few tiers and points of view for assessment. (From whose point of view, inside-out or outside-in, etc.)
For a prejudiced person, it probably will not cause the trauma needed for deep change, but perhaps for someone on the fence, it will teach something. For an inviting free-thinker, it is a pleasure of truth.
There is the usual hypocrisy juxtaposition, such as in the Godfather. In the Godfather, assassination scenes were cut into the communion scene. Here, it's acts of prejudice followed by religious symbols and prayer.
Starting conflict, the growth of bond, transformation and redemption. Low-key comedy along the way, which was nicely balanced to the message and tone.
There is a great discussion in the car, too subtle for some, about the complexity of a human being, but the singularity of how prejudice is formed. That is, how we form opinions based upon one criterion, when a human being is complex. Again, it is subtle, but the movie balances nicely that human beings in similar roles, including roles of power, all do not act the same.
Well-done. This story and the acting duly earned its awards.
