By golly, I finished watching it just now after this post caught my attention earlier this evening. What a film. The scene where Cal exits the prom car all awkwardly followed by the cut to him still in his dress clothes an hour later recording his last speech with Andre establishes such a powerfully ominous antecedent to the film's climax. Not to mention the cross burning at the very end, also a powerful visual. One of the best movies I've really ever seen (albeit a part of that is the fact I don't watch a lot of movies in my free time). Thanks for sharing.
