at first, i wondered why don would have spoken that way to his mother, but i'm guessing she was probably incoherent to begin with. his attitude toward the whole thing made more sense to me because it seemed a little more clear that he would not really let her in because of his family situation and just didn't like talking about it.

i don't see why some were offended by this scene with thandie and howard and matt dillon. it was supposed to rub you the wrong way to show that a lot of brothas go through this. that is a fucked up decision either way.

thandie/matt dillon - i regarded that scene as thandie struggling to let a racist asshole like dillon's character help her in order for her to live.

the flip side to that was that dillon has to cope with the fact that a woman almost died because of his issues with black people and him physically assaulting her. that's the kind of shit that will stick with him for the rest of his life. i don't think the scene was trying to redeem him at all.

the persian guy i think it was more of a miscommunication based on stereotypes. he was cheap and thought the mexican cat was short changing him. i don't know why he'd think the girl was his angel. mothafucka tried to kill her dad. why would she care about him. but either way, dude learned a valuable lesson.

that felt horrible when i thought the lil girl was killed.

i'll continue in a bit. gotta work.
