Best movie ever!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I greatly enjoyed this film. I was first interested in it to hear the music, which has a great beat that inspired me to get up and dance. I ended up paying attention to the story of the people involved and learned a lot about Sudan. In the U.S. it is not often understood that the people there are Africans fighting against people who want them to reject African culture and embrace Arab culture. They are all Muslims, but the Arabs are racists who think of blacks as just slaves. The refugees whose villages have been destroyed and their children killed feel the injustice and see the truth behind the lies of government officials. The clarity of their experience is vivid and the film gave me the kind of insight that I have never gotten watching the news.Thanks to the filmmaker for bringing these beautiful and intelligent people to the world's attention. I hope their culture is not destroyed...
