that most mainstream-praised shit is just a 101 intro to problems. take a look at traffic, some nice cinematography and decent acting, but if there was any new info in that movie for you then you really dont have a fucking clue about what is going on in America.

It seems like anything with a point is earth-shattering in this watered down society where dialogue is dead and thought has followed suit...
