This is a great film in that it takes on a never-ending issue of racism -done wonderfully by Wm Macy, Laura Dern and others. Arthur Miller's ideas were presented beautifully; bringing out self-searching feelings in all of us. Another example that a film can be great without car-chases, bombs, and the typical needless krap of Hollywood. It is what a film should be: plot, good acting, and the effect of deep thought both inside yourself and of the "bigger picture" in life.
