Reader's Reviews
I've read numerous reviews for this film and have to ask myself, "What film did these guys see?". I've seen it twice and both times was deeply moved by the characters, the story and the music. There wasn't a dry eye in the house on both occasions. Both men and women are crying at the end of this movie. The forst time I saw it, you could hear the audience cry as the movie trudged toward the finale. In a dismal year for film (with Iron Man) being the exception, it was wonderful to see a movie where people actually cared about and liked the characters in the movie. I hope Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard get awards for this wonderful movie.
