Every time i watch it it just inspires me to make others watch it. I will warn them that it will upset them, it upsets me, but it inspires me. There is so much hatered out there in the world, from everyone to everyone else. We might all claim not to be racist or sexist or any ist but we all are. This film brings to a head all our fears, no one looks good, well to be honest no one is. A white, evil guy, kills two black guys, and in a totally evil manner. He goes to prison, rightly so, meets and befriends a black guy who has been wrongly imprisoned, but only in terms of the stretch imparted. The black guy keeps the white guy alive because they have become friends. The white guy gets out and realises the errors of his ways. As a synopsis its sounds like many other happy ending stories. This isn't one of them. This film takes you to scenarios that no other film has done. It tackles illegial immegration, illegal employment and at the start you may empathise with the feelings going on. I know i did. The actions taken there after should instill in you how wrong hatred to others is. For once i have watched a film that doesn't make one race wrong and another right. It makes us all out to be wrong. If ever i have seen a film that inspires me to try to be a good person and treat everone as an equal then this is it. Everyone, of every creed should watch this, it shows the best parts of us all, not too often, but isn't that realistic, and the worst of us, far too common. If only we could all learn get on like the guys do in the latter laundry scenes. I for one know i would live in a happier world if we could be as honest in a group as we are on our own. Watch this film, get the message that ALL racism @&*$s and make others watch. If one of them gets it, hopefully they will do the same as you have just done. Was this review helpful?
