Review of The Hurricane (1999) by Carolina C — 26 Mar 2009
Denzel Washington is so convincing as Rubin Carter that one forgets that he is, indeed, an actor playing a role. From the begining to end, Denzel is perfect. The film made me think about how poverty and prejudice can ruin a person's life when misfortune, such as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, visits.
We should learn from this movie. We can't take anything, especially our freedoms, for granted. There have always been and may always be someone with power to change or destroy our lives and take away all we hold.
He did what he had to do for survival but others humanity at first weekened him, then he drew strength. The Hurricane is more about racism than injustice, more thematic in nature than subjective. It proves a solid moral about what society is like.
A point that is powerful and touching because of its strong development. But also saddening because it's true.
