I'm just curious to know who else here have seen this film and their opinions about it....?

I just saw it and can only wonder why I haven't seen it earlier. It must the best film I've seen since Lilja 4-ever. There's no wonder why it won 3 Oscars, including 'the best movie'.

The movie really makes u hate the world, but it also shows where little actions can be led or how the biggest problem is not in humans or "they people"... the biggest problem is people own prejudices that we let to have power over us.

Personally, I thought the movie took a while to progress and actually come up with an entwined storyline, if there even was one. So for me, it was hard to get into.

But in a nutshell, I thought it was great. One of those hard-hitting, eye-opening movies that comes along every once in a while. Exposing us to things we'd normally turn a blind eye to. But IMO, it was hard to do that with this movie.

The thing I loved most about it was the actors/actresses. And how they still agreed to do this film, with the knowledge of it's content, and NOT shying away from that. Like I think most of Hollywood would have.

Yeah, the actors were deff. the one's who made the movie so great. There was a lot of big names like Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Don Cheadle (who I even hardly knew before Hotel Rwanda, but he's great!!!) and a bunch of other good actors/actresses..., who they all said in the DVD interviews that they didn't matter what role they got, they just wanted to be part of this move. And just like you said Lee, many wouldn't want to be in part of the film because of it's content. So admiration to them.

Thing I loved most, beside the actors and all the several little plot lines that eventually all connected each other in someway, was the effect that the film has to its viewers. Or at least it did that to me, because after the first half, I was so freaking angry that if the movie would have ended there, I'd be out on streets breaking everything that gets into my way. I hated this world, I hated all the people. But after the second half, I was more like peacefull than full of rage. It was like, "hey that's all just life, we're all just humans". It was a lot easier to think how to try to make a difference after the whole 114min was over than while watching the movie.

A lot of movies tries to handle racism, people's prejudices that limitates their lives, and other problems like that, but this film was pretty much the only one that brought them all open in the most realistic way.

I looooved this movie. Chose it to do a presentation on in Film Studies at uni... It's just so powerful! Love the actors; Sandra Bullock as a b*tch is hilarious. The way the storyline rolls around to come back to the beginning is Hollywood contrived but other than that it's freaking awesome.

So do I. This is one of my fav movies ever. So beautiful, especially the music by Mark Isham and also so upseting...
