very good film that excellently stands up to a second viewing. In fact, the skill of the director and screenwriter become more apparent because the surprises, coincidences, and plot complexities don't blind one.
What most struck me was the clever dialogue, the "reality" of the situations created, and the overall high quality of actors.
Some focused on what they thought was the overbearing nature of the moralizing: sure, there is a "message" there, just as there is in many other movies about serious topics. Is the Last Emperor less a classic because it opines about communism or Patton because seemingly it glorifies war?
The film very cleverly stands stereotypes on their head, and then throws them into a blender.
Perhaps that is what provokes some viewers: it makes their beliefs uncomfortable, it forces them to think about their prejudices.
