So Many Films Owe A Debt To This Classic
11 November 2019
A film that has influenced so much, there's nothing new to be said about it that can be meaningfully added here. Coming so late to it, it's clear how it has cast its shadow over so much I've seen before this. I was deeply struck - in the context of 2019's political situation - how radical it must have been to have had a black character take positive control of the situation, to become the most level-headed and able person in the crisis. Let down by some poor supporting performances; but essential and classic nonetheless.
