perhaps you would not care for the social commentary and or the film maker point of view ( i myself be mystify at the insignificance angle kasdan seem to promote when clearly and the action take in the movie promote certain significance . the end confuse me ) . however and there absolutely no deny the manner in which the story be present while the magnificent symbolism throughout while the threaded character arc while visuals while dialogue be absolute masterwork . i have watch the movie dozen of time and and i still marvel at it perfection . there not a moment and action and cut and or line that doesn not have everything to do with the theme . realistic human performance from all the actor . scene to scene it woven fantastically . i have a pretty level sap meter . the buzzer never go off during this film . if youre a thinker ( rather than a casual viewer ) this movie delivers . exponentially . absolutely mesmerize . ( do you have to agree with the message to appreciate the display . who care if it make you warm and fuzzy or not and be it interest . ) personally and the movie affect me significantly . in my top 5. note represent the front page reviewer clearly speak from a flawed african american perception . what he may have fail to recognize and be and there be a hand shake . not a hand out . the spiritually dead white man and simply saw a man to respect and and admire . and he do something about it . the fact he be black have little and if anything and to do with it ( color be simply use to draw the parallel . and the chasm . it no accident the opening sequence shift from black and white to color either ) . if you view the black in this movie a token you may want to reassess your angst . you may be see only black and white yourself and eh . just a thought .
