i was no crazy about the film. but i guess it shoots an arrow in the right direction. it's a film that can get you thinking.

one direction is to say that all people's realities are important.

the white guy wrongly believed that what he had to do was more important of course than what the black guy had to do. this was a false assumption of course. so this started the whole problem. that's believable to me.

then of course, the black guy being so 'troubled', this kicks into his rage, his assertiveness, and we are off to the races.

of course, the white guy saves the day. our hero. hollywood ending. and the black guy is really not a bad guy after all. (i'll be darn!!) (but he did try to kill the other guy. (all in a day's way of behaving)).

but just to write so much says the film has something to offer. it captures some of our contemporary society. it takes a picture of us (if you believe that's the way things really are).
