it made me cry.
you can say whatever you want about the writing, the acting, the directing, the production, the music & what-have-you, but the bottom line for me is:
it made me cry.
also, having dealt with the homeless, i appreciated the extreme realism of the homeless scenes & the characters being portrayed, because whenever an out-of-it homeless person says something particularly brilliant, or insightful (which i've personally witnessed myself dozens of times), it makes you think two things: 1) "man! there's a REAL PERSON inside there!" & 2) "what in the world happened to them to make them like THIS?"
i believe this movie answers that question (in a general way) &, for this reason, i'd like to see it shown in all sociology &/or psychology courses, all churches & to every single person involved in homeless ministry.
because everyone has a story, amen?
i also think popeye (tom wright) is the best thing that happened to this movie & i'd love to see a sequel that deals with HIS story.
peace & blessings 2 all, barefoot Christian <><
