Movies that make you go hmmmmmm...

Had the chance to watch a couple of movies over the weekend that reminded me of how easily the majority can oppress and overpower the minority in our society: North Country, a film about the integration of female miners in the northern region of Minnesota; and Freedomland, a study in racism, poverty and how the absence of power can alter lives in dramatic fashion. Neither film in it's totality was great, but the acting in both was superb. The message from each was clear and powerful. Not great popcorn flicks, but movies that make you think.
