I have only seen this film once and late at night on terrestrial TV.
What I remember, is demonstrations of emotional courage from all involved in the making of this landmark film.
Finding the strength to look in the mirror and face the reality of what we really are is perhaps our most profound activity. This causes other people in our lives to examine their values and possibly some pre conceived ideas. Weak people do react extremely.
Acceptance remains a very big word in 2020.
