I have to say that this was a very depressing movie indeed. Although I did quite enjoy it, it was very sad. All of these lives intertwined in many ways and this movie proved the theory that we are all connected in some way and that things that we do can affect everyone else's lives around us. The black married couple that faced prejudice because of their race started to face problems within themselves because of it, causing them to lash out at other people and become something that they were not. Both the man and the woman learn a lesson themselves and also teach other people a lesson as well. This leads directly into the life of the character played by Ludacris, teaching him a lesson about being a criminal. Instead of really doing something horribly illegal, he set free to a van full of Chinese slaves rather than selling them. He also learned to take the bus, something which he was always so against. His best friend was leading a horrible life, yet his family still loved him. He had a horrible end, causing a good hearted cop to suffer from a dreadful guilt. The story that really caught my heart, and the cover that is pictured above is the scene where a man's daughter is endowed with an "invinsible cloak" that protects her from anything or so her father said to jump in front of a man who is about to kill him. Thankfully the bullets in his gun were blanks, but the shear feeling in the man's face and his wife's just really stuck with me and I will never forget that scene. This movie has taught me a lot about people and I will probably be pondering life for a week or two and people in it.
I give this movie a three and a half out of five. This was a good movie and I would definitely watch it again, possibly even buy it.
