a work of antidepressants and tissues

this is very dark, and sad. Many moments almost brought me to tears. Halle's performance, though somewhat controversil, is great. Though many, including myself, thought that her Oscar was undeserving, she played her part well. Great performances can be seen from Billy Bob Thorten and Heath Ledger, but Halle does out shine them all with her "MAKE ME FEEL GOOD" chants that seem a bit silly, but after a while you feel her wretching pain.

why?

I believe that this movie was an absolute outrage and a disgrace to our people. halle berry was used as a pawn to just shut up the mouths of our people who consistently complained about not having received our oscars yet. yes, I wanted to see our people receive oscars but not in this form of fashion. berry portrays a distraught , disgusting, sexual addict and is awarded for it. why had she been not awarded for dorthy dandrige? but monsters ball. this movie was absolutely horrific and terrible and she is a disgrace to all blacks who would have loved to be in her position. I am ashamed of my black people who accept awards and recognition under these terms. denzel washington as well who receives recognition for portraying a bad cop, a cheater, and con artist when he plays way better roles auch as malcom x. excuse my french but it's a "fuckin" outrage!
