that movie blew my mind....i love it soooo much!! it's such a kick in the teeth, and soo shocking!!! very good message to it too...i think people who are all into hate over race should watch it, to see what their ideas and beliefs do to those around them....very powerful message that hate will destroy what u love and you will find out what really counts and that your actions affect more people than u think...it will also show u that the racial hate runs more ways than one, and should be stopped...well, at least thats what i got out the movie...what did ya'll get out of it?? i mean, if u have seen it? if not, rent it n view it, its awesome, even if it is violent

I loved this movie as well, great social commentary. If you liked this one, you should also definately check out "SLC punk." It is sort of hard to fdind, but blockbustershould have a copy or two.

It is some of the same issues but different dynamics and angles. I really loved it.

Far and away the best movie of 1998. Deserved many more Oscar nominations than it actually received.

I have often wondered, given the ending, what exactly Kaye wanted to redo about the film.

I havent seen the movie because I am so against racism. Would I detest it?

it all depends...um, it basically is a message against racial violence, and if u can stand goin thru some of the stuff that does happen, yeah, rent it..its good..if not, u can always fast forward thru what u dont want to see r u can stop the movie all together, but i do recomend it..its very powerful

Amlet, was wondering if you have seen the movie yet? If so, what did you think about it?
