Ok...have just watched this film. Thought it was ok from a film critics point of view, although nothing special in terms of camera work, performances etc etc. best bit was the moral issue...
At what point does it become ok to cross the line to get "What is right?" Most of us on Pistonheads (from what I can tell) tend to lean to the right politically, but at what point do the needs of the individual outweigh the needs of the many?
At what point do you (we) stick our hands in our pockets to help?...Do we need to know the needy in order to help them? Does it need to become a "public" issue?

Surely the need for public intervention depends on the situation?
Sadly in todays world it also depends on fashion.
An appeal goes out for romainian orphans and thousands of pounds come pouring in. However a beggar on our own street corner will be largely ignored.
This is the way of life, some things seem important, some really are. It is up to the individual to decide what they beleive is relevant and to act accordingly. That's how charity works.
It's a sad fact of life that not everyone is as lucky as most of us on PH. Those of us that have wealth and good fortune must decide how best to use it.
I'm not sure if this answers, or even approaches the original subject of this post, but I needed to get it off my chest anyway.

Having just re-read my post it makes very little sense! Too many beers last night I think.
I think the point I was trying to suggest was that the film blurs the boundaries of what is right and wrong.
Very good film in that respect and I heartily recommend it.
Other than that ignore me... (Oh you were!!)
As you were then!
