Title: Well-made but annoying to watch
Review: This is a very well-made film but what of it? Anyone who has enough free time from the real world of stressful race relations to watch a movie that portrays those same race relations jacked up with plenty of manipulative, adrenaline pumped-up histrionics is welcome to this movie. This was done before (more hysterically) with "Do The Right Thing" and in the book (more intelligently and cynically), "Bonfire of Vanities." Rather than change my views on race, this only confirmed to me that multi-culturalism does not work and that we either are going to have to move toward mono-culturalism or we will quietly move into geographical/economic isolation from each other. This movie showed that it is nothing but a fantasy that hundreds of cultures can co-exist without misunderstandings and suspicions boiling up into violence. Ironically, the movie argues against itself as it shows that the problem is so widespread and profound that tensions are absolutely inevitable.
Is the review positive or negative?
