I'd seen it again recently, and decided it was too hammerhanded and pompous. I think I was just accepting its theatricality as a device, not unlike the storytelling device of bringing people together via vehicle incidents.
But the stupidity of everyone lecturing everyone else, and displaying their overt racism too absurdly directed at the people they are trying to get somewhere with was just too much for me on this repeat viewing.
I appreciate what the film is trying to say, and I really do admire many of the acting performances ... but it's a very sophmoric film.
