The Raw Power of Film
|
Someone once said that you only truly witness art two or three times in your life... art that changes you completely, art that transforms your world.
So if you've got any left in you, be sure you see this film. I saw it rather accidentally I was on a three day vacation in a mountain cabin. But the damn place had satelite television. I had no intention of sitting in front of a screen, but once this film started I could not turn away.
Unfortunately, too many reviewers give away vital pieces of the film, or cannot construct a coherent sentence.
All you need to know is that this is a vital piece of American culture that should be viewed by everyone. What is most profound about this film is that, while about the poverty-stricken black experience in Los Angeles, it is NOT about race. It is not about injustice in the political system. It is not about socioeconomic conditions.
This film is about humanity, and it's so refreshing to see an artist work at this level; with no axe to grind, no sacred cows to slaughter.
The ending is so profoundly beautiful, that it nearly brings me to tears remembering it.
See it. Now.
