Saw the film this afternoon. I like it a lot! Cried & laughed. Not the best movie ever made, but I think is a good one to see. Definitely a discussion-movie.
**SPOILERS BELOW**
After the movie was over I felt unresolved. There are issues the movie brought up which were never tackled, such as the mayor's money being spent to literally clean up the streets and removed the "harmless" homeless.
I also didn't like how the story jumped from the Robert Downey Jr. storyline to the Jamie Foxx storyline. When it was just about the two's relationship and how it affected each other's lives, that is what I cared about the most. I honestly didn't need to know the backstory of Jamie Foxx's character nor the life problems of the Robert Downey Jr. character. I wanted more plot about the STORY and how the column affected people.
That's really the only complaints I have. The acting is great. The score is a wonderful work-in.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
