"I am angry all the time... and I don't know why." - Jean

Why watch this? I love it when a film says "Let's confront this issue!"

Plot Summary: This drama, set in Los Angeles, explores the interconnected lives of diverse characters facing issues of race, prejudice, and social class. Over a short period, their paths intersect in unexpected ways, leading to confrontations and moments of both hostility and understanding. The film delves into the complexities of human interaction and the hidden prejudices that impact daily life.

Dad's Preview: This Oscar winning picture is a raw look at the anxieties of people living in crowded Los Angeles. It confronts racial tensions. It shows that people are becoming disconnected, and don't form relationships with those outside their social class. The characters are not painted as good or bad, but rather a combination of both, and that is very much how real life works.
