anyway, it's an amazing film being raved by every critic across the country about how different people deal with each other in different ways. there's no sidestepping the stereotypes about different races; they're all addressed, and you're made to feel extremely uncomfortable about it, and, in most cases, shameful. you see, it makes no bones about it - we're all human beings filled with our own life experiences and prejudices, and that's what makes the world go round. i also took from it that a lot of problems arise when people just lose their cool. and sometimes, you just can't escape trouble. there's a lot of shit going on here and, although i have major problems with some of it - like how it was too coincidental at times - it's a mirror on the society we live in, and therefore, a very important and ballsy movie.
but here's the biggest statement it made about this country of ours: more people this weekend decided not to see this deeply moving film. instead, they chose to drop $10 to see a movie generally reviewed as "a piece of shit". after all, it stars everyone's favorite no-talent, paris hilton.
touche, america. touche.
