This movie is one of the best films ever. Mike C. Duncan is amazing. The production designer deserves an award. Now what stopped me from seeing this film for so long was its length. I just couldn't get myself in the mood to sit for a three hour drama, but it seemed like it was an hour long. I can't recommend this film higher. And well I'm man enough to admit that it is a touching story, that had me pullin that "there's some dirt in my eye" routine in the theater.
