Review of The Laramie Project (2002) by Christina G — 10 Jul 2011
This movie had a profound effect on me. Having experienced hate first hand many times in my life the subject matter was extremely personal to me. The film was devastating yet cathartic all at once. I never knew I could grieve so deeply for someone I had never met, never known.
It was gut wrenching. There was also great joy. Proof once again that sometimes the very worst of occurrences can bring out the very best in people. It is incredible how many people in this word hate without realizing that is what they're doing.
They feel justified in their feelings. That's just the reality of the world. The film doesn't try to sugar coat it or give it some ending as if seen through rose coloured glasses. It just tells it straight and unvarnished.
Both the horrendous and the beautiful. I think it a fitting tribute to the young man who lost his life so tragically. In the end, it gives me hope. Hope for a brighter future.
