Awesome casting all around.

This is a different take on film that I don't think I've ever seen before. Taking a real life series of events and modifying it (very dramatically) to fit the narrative intended by the film makers. If ever there were a candidate for a job well done in that category, this would definitely be it.

Brad Pitt completely steals the spotlight (shared by Margot, of course) from Leo in this instant classic. Because the source material is SO heavily modified the viewer has genuinely no idea what to expect around every turn. Having that feeling while watching a movie unfold that you are familiar with the actual story it is based on was a bit of a surreal experience. But enjoyable nionetheless,

frank and honest account (0 more)
I have seen Lenny Henry in many things over the years and I don't know why but i always assumed he walked straight into television, boy was i wrong. Here is an in-depth look at life growing up in 70's England and the prejudices and racism that was so prevalent in our society (and still is unfortunately). From 3 minute stints at impressions to being Trevor Mcdonut on TISWAS. Its a wonderful read and a real eye opener on what society and the entertainment industry was like. Lenny paints a picture of a time when being 'black' was a joke in itself and his frank account of incidents is a revelation (sometimes a disturbing one). Definitely a great read :)
