“This movie might not have been deemed the best movie in the world; and we here in America certainly are in a position to critique; we have access to more movies, etc. then probably any other country in the world: Hollywood rules the cinema! With that said, I would like to interject, that although this movie may not have been a cinemographic great, hopefully it did accomplish one thing; and in doing that, only that redemption may needed: To get u0026#39;Fat Americansu0026#39; to –Think. We are a country of u0026quot;Comfort Zone Couch Potatoes.u0026quot; If something is unpleasant, we can employ the remote to sustain our comfort zone–we can turn the channel. Those places that were depicted in the film DO actually exist, and human suffering and atrocities REALLY DO go on. In a genre such as film, if even for a moment, perhaps long enough that even those who would chose to u0026#39;critiqueu0026#39; said film, even those individuals had to have had watched enough to realize that, yes, such things really do go on–today, now. And for those of us who read of such atrocities, but otherwise are insulated from such horrors, have our consciences jarred, if only for a moment, but hopefully, even if only momentarily, long enough that we donu0026#39;t have our consciences–Seared. If any movie can say that it has performed such a public service, I would say that it has redeemed itself of any other shortcomings; creative or otherwise.”
