this film could well have be one of those ordinary soapies relate the day to day event of half a dozen family whose life be intertwine . break relationship and build new friendship and street bashings and near accident and hope and dream and even the discovery of a baby discard under some bush . what a mixture of event . fortunately the film maker go beyond those daily event and pose question to consider although there be no satisfactory answer . he ask in this chaotic world do thing just happen and be it just luck when thing turn out right or and take a fatalistic view and be a person predestine to be at a certain place at a certain time and thus become involved in the event and his future take on a new perspective . most of u have have this uncanny experience . be it our super ego that make u believe we be so important . a one character say he once sit on the edge overlook the grand canyon and come to realize how infinitely small he be . this be not one of my favourite film but be a good study of human relationship . danny glover be outstanding in a sympathetic role .
