MCT:May 15, 2008Amazing talent from Denzel Washington, both acting and directing. In his first movie as a director, he pull it off by delivering both great story and cinematography on top of his undeniably great acting inside. Fantastic performance by all other cast as well without any week point among them that combined together in one movie which has faboulous script throughout the movie. Great movie, great debate and great story.

Without telling much about this movie.
There are a few emotions I felt while watching this: Important, Influential, Potent, Vigorous, Dynamical, Consequential, which all derive from the word Powerful.
I have many races flowing through my blood which I'm very proud of but this movie touched me in many ways..
I'm blessed and very amazed that I was not born under the Jim Crow laws as which my dad, grandma, and many family memebers who are African American were. That was only 38 years ago.
To all the religions, races, and genders, I thank you for fighting and still fighting which is sad for equal rights for all humans.
Words are beyond powerful. They reflect knowledge, pride, loyality, love, and repect.
I hope all watch this historical movie with family, friends, or alone. This will touch all humans and all can relate to the injustices we have and are still enduring. -
MCT:May 14, 2008I've seen this movie, and it's really good. It depicts the history of the time period well, and overall it was pretty good, and very touching. You should all see it.

What a powerful powerful Movie. Good Lord I'm still wiping tears. Extremely strong performences by ALL the Actors and the Story is so compelling. Gosh this is 2008 and I life in TX and believe it or not I still see some of the "Southern Hospitality" towards Negros...I could only imagine in my wildest Nightmares what they had to go through 70 Years ago...oh my gosh I'm so glad times have changed.

This is a GREAT film! Everyone, especially young african americans, should see this. Denzel did a great job on his directing debut. Jurnee Smollett was absolutely breath-taking in her powerful role.
