The movie was great, and really full of powerful images...I mean, I FELT the scenes with Tommy and Savion burning corks to apply the blackface makeup. The movie had a point to make, and Spike did a great job of bringing that point across. But the last 20 or 30 minutes had me cringing, like "Spike Puh-lease don't ruin your film by going there...dayum, you wouldn't listen". The movie went from being really poignant and powerful to "Fatal Attraction meets CB4". Just unnecessary. I was disappointed, but I still recommend that everyone see the movie, if only for the first 90 minutes or so.
