Pseudo peace and love crap

Rating: 1/10 (8 June 2006)

I am all for understanding the reality of retarded/disabled/autistic people. That's why I can't stand this movie. They completely sachrinized the relationship of the healthy white people with the retarded black man, made the white man look like a hero for just not being a racist jerk, without his really doing much at all, eventually transformed ALL the racist, sadistic white folk into kind loving community minded folk, and in the mean time, denied the retarded black man his dignity and self actualization by taking all the credit for the good things that happened to him. I am really just grazing the ice-burg here. Terrible movie. The only slightly redeeming aspect was the acting, it wasn't that bad. But the plot is so twisted, it gets a 1/10 from me.
