I just can't believe all the negative reviews for this film. They must be Spike Lee haters. This was a movie to remember. Everyone I've spoken to who has seen this film loved it. I'm black and when I saw this film in the theatre I expected to see mostly other black moviegoers. It was sold out and there was just a handful of black and Hispanic people, everyone else was white. There were families and people of all ages. The movie has some shocking moments from the beginning and pleasant surprises. To say anymore would give it away. I think the background music may have been much too loud (but I'm not sure since I saw it in the theatre 12 years ago). What I very clearly recall was the reactions at the film's ending. Lots of tissues and sniffling... and complete silence as the credits rolled. RESPECT! There was no rush to the exits until the credits were almost finished. As I was walking out of the theatre lobby, an older white couple was walking beside me and the gentleman was sobbing loudly. I gave him some tissues and they stopped to talk. He said it touched his soul and broke his heart because it was so authentic. He said he didn't care if anyone saw him cry. It brings tears to my eyes today. I've only seen 4 or 5 Spike Lee films so I'm not writing this as a super fan. It's just a fantastic work of art.
