Go see the movie "Dirty Pretty Things"

[LibInternationalist]

Do it as soon as possible. Tell all your friends.

Briefly, it's about the plight of illegal immigrants in London, but it is a phenomenal movie. Makes me want to cry with joy merely over the fact that I have a US passport.

2. I saw it... highly recommended!

Stars Audrey Tautou (Amelie) as the female lead, and the male lead is fantastic too. Chiwetel Ejiofor, British actor (of Nigerian descent), haven't seen him before. Directed by Stephen Frears (High Fidelity, Mary Reilly, etc.)

And here is a user comment (obviously Freeper) about it from IMDB:
Decent enough thriller, but that's not the point. Rather that it's a BBC film. We all know what the BBC's been up to these days: the New Church of the Euro Left. Is Stephen Frears, albeit talented, just its latest preacher-in-residence? Are the skillful tactics of this film meant to suck us into BBC's culture wars? It would certainly seem so. The battle lines are clearly drawn, strictly along ideological lines. Good and evil are black and white. The underclass is noble, mercilessly preyed upon by monied evil. Nothing could be simpler. At the end the underclass even confronts the rich white man, telling him "We're the people you never see." Marx would have been proud.
