The movie is alright...

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2005)

honestly...
the movie was OK...it was not great...
White people tend to love movies about the black experience...black people will criticize the movie for an inaccurate portrayal...many things in the movie are unrealistic and the characters were conveniently oblivious to the horrid nature of the things around them...even the events they heralded as accomplishments...you have to see the movie and decide for yourself...it's worth viewing...but mostly for the music...the actors did very good jobs...but the script was very unrealistic to me, and i felt the storyline was fantastical...
