Negative Positive
Title: It isn't easy to watch . . . so?
Review: The person I saw this film with was turned off because it was "depressing". My response to that was, "so what?" Life isn't always fun-filled and wonderful. Maybe some people see movies to escape; I see them to journey into situations that don't often touch my reality. Because of the wonderful performances by Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry (and even Sean Combs), this movie was very true-to-life and revealing. I'm no fool: I know that racial tensions run deep in the southern USA, but this film makes it more real to me than it ever has been. The end of this film, I think, is very thought-provoking and haunting. It's difficult to know what she's thinking.
