I watched this movie on tv before the Academy Awards thinking that it was probably going to be another one of those crappy award movies that are so artsy I can’t sit through the whole thing, but it sooooooo wasn’t. It was amazing! You couldn’t predict anything that was about to happen and I love that about this movie. At first I thought it was going to be hard to follow all of the different plot lines but they converge so nicely in the end you don’t even notice your being told like twelve stories at once. It also covered all the racial topics you can think of without being so in your face about it like a lot of those movies are. I could watch it over and over again which is a lot to say about a movie for me. I HIGHLY reccomend you see this movie. It is soo worth it. I have no doubt that if you see it you won’t regret it.
