    What a great film. Jeffrey Wright is one of the best actors out there.
    I love his understated delivery. I've loved him since he blew me away in Basquiat.

    Asking this director what the movie's "message" is goes against what the whole film is about. How about if we praise great books and movies _because_ they don't give us some simplistic message?
