I couldn't find a topic on this movie. I'm surprised. I just saw it and it brought me to tears (don't worry, I was in the room alone...).
How amazing was this movie... It was such a commentary, such a truth, rather, of the human condition and how the one, single thing hindering the entire world is fear. So true that that's where all our problems come from.
I actually don't believe I could watch this movie with other people.

I honestly just didn't care for this movie. I think it's because of where I live that I'm just so flipping tired of the race issue. I'll admit that the whole movie wasn't about that, but that's the main issue they used to illustrate their point (or so it seemed to me).
Don't get me wrong, I didn't think it was a bad movie. I just didn't find it interesting. I realize that that's rather unobjective, but whatever.

I loved this film--and a large part of that may be because I live in Los Angeles, and it was very *real*.
That is LA. It was the first thing that struck me about the city after moving here from NY--how isolated everyone is. We keep to our own neighborhoods, associate with our own groups. We are isolated in our cars, and only interact when we crash into each other. And then we come together, briefly, before reverting to the same old patterns of interaction--or lack of same--based on fear.

I thought it was a pretty good movie and for once, they showed Hispanics in a good light....
We weren't drug addicts, illegals, gang members. It was just a normal guy with a family.....
It was great.

Yep. Even though the perception of everyone else was that he was a gang-banger, he was a family man.
And that scene with the daughter... I cry every time I see it. The emotion is no less even when you intellectually know what's coming. That's good film-making.
