I was not going to add a comment here, but I found myself breezing through
other comments, with the constant "poor structure story" crap. Evidence
"History complex structure" or "unusual story of the structure." They may not be ALL
"The Incredible Hulk", people. As for the claim that the film goes on
During fifteen minutes after the last event: the movie ends when the story
ago. The story is not ended by the car incident.

I have not read the book, so I took the film on its own terms. It is a film
For adults with an intelligent attention. The acting is great.
Hopkins plays a character who is tragic in the classical sense: a
Potentially great man with a fatal flaw (and it's a whopper). Kidman is
Absolutely credible, Anna Deveare Smith is heartbreaking as silk
Mother, Gary Sinise is the ground-and Ed Harris is spooky (ectoplasmically
Speaking not as racial vilification.)
This has just opened in Lawrence, Kansas, a university town, in the theater that shows
indies and foreign films. Maybe Miramax expects a "Big Fat Greek Wedding
" kind of reaction?

I have not read the book but, for me, this was a very good movie, with
Some consideration of a series of issues: the cost to a person of black
Increasingly crossing and white - and / or the price to anyone becoming
Disconnected from his family. Despite the disconnect may give greater freedom
somehow, in others, there is an uncomfortable prison.
Another question that could be described as a variant of, "as that is without sin cast the first stone
. "And yet another is that the" taint "all of us carry
also other spots with those who come into contact. And perhaps there is a dear price
(and reward?) To be able to pay for further heart and not too
head?

Really solid performances by some big players - Hopkins, Kidman, Harris -
And of the others.

Some free nudity was injected, perhaps to help ticket sales?,
But it is not too far-fetched story line.

All appropriate background (I grew up in Vermont and lived in the academic world) and
Volvos and landscape, plus the teacher's house had a genuine feel
.
