This movie has one message: that we are all racist, even the most upstanding of people. The multiple storylines all have that common thread. Normally, multiple plots and characters can leave the audience confused but the makers of this film did a masterful job at it. This is a very compelling movie and it is a great piece of art. The creators of the movie wanted to cause you to think and that is exactly what they cause the viewer to do.
We had a long discussion about the premise in the movie. Here is the conclusion that we came to: Sin causes us to hate those that are not like us. People at their core are unloving but that is where the love of Christ comes in. Jesus spoke out against racism and shows his followers early that He came for people of all skin color.
Callie
Favorite: I loved how all the handful of characters had their lives so intertwined.
Least Favorite: It is so intensely raw that the viewer can't see where the movie is going.
Joel
Favorite: I am a Don Cheadle fan and I thought he did a very good job. I also liked the fact that this movie made me think.
Least Favorite: I did not like the amount of profanity used in the script.
