Powerful but something is amiss

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 1999)

I thought this movies hits in places films have a hard time hitting. There was a strong family (father & son) message that I was extremely impressed with. The cinematography was amazing with a strong use of color and several stunning shots. But there are too many negative aspects. This movie clearly portrays white women as loose and whores. Black women aren't particularly celebrated either. And I also think the sound track was out of place several times during the movie. Overall, it is worth seeing but, I wouldn't show my kids, if I had any.
