The Hurricane has proved itself as an effective movie for all people including me as a viewer through its simple portrayal of life's balance of good and evil. The choice of actors as characters, an internal battle and ability to relate show the on going war between the two extremes embodied in a movie.

The Hurricane's story begins as three white patrons in a predominately white section of New Jersey are murdered in a bar during the tumultuous growing pains of the 60's. Rueben "Hurricane" Carter was in the prime of his boxing career. He was in simple words a bad, bad man in the ring. He had fought his way back from an uncertain childhood and an abusive period in the State of New Jersey's penal institutions for young men. Beset upon by a racist police officer intent on hanging him out to dry, Rueben had overcome these obstacles and many more to become an internationally known boxer. And in a moment, all his success and all of his achievements would be stolen by a system bent on prejudice and fueled

The youngest of children and the simplest of people who are brought up in a society bred to recognize the good and bad of situations can see the evident battle of the Hurricane. The appearance of actors brings out the initial impression of which side they will be fighting for in this eternal struggle. This film also brings up the internal struggle found with in all of us and in our every day choices. Carter has magnified this struggle in whether to do the right or wrong thing. A film isn't worth watching to many unless an understanding can be built between the viewer and character. The Hurricane uses complex feelings that are embodied by all of us but never really pointed out as significant. Carter's ability to love and trust again seems to be the one feeling everyone can relate to and understand. While it does showcase incredible levels of bigotry that can be reached when the government plays a part, it more importantly demonstrates just how much power, perseverance, compassion, love, trust and justice play in the defeat of injustice.

To identify with their triumphs, we must first feel they're suffering. Moral clarity, is plagued with madness, rage, fear, cowardice, pride, pain, existential anguish, ferocity and skill, feelings everyone can relate to in their times of anguish. The Hurricane protracted an ultimately successful fight for freedom and justice, which is impossible not to be moved by the depth of a portrayal that suggests the cinematic answer to a inspiring portrait of nobility, never conceals the demons of fury and despair gnawing beneath his character's forcefully articulate surface. It conveys the barely choked-back rage and frustration of a man who has been so profoundly disappointed that he is afraid to hope and unable to receive love. Carter's book not only touches the audience as he tells his story it touches the hearts of many others making them feel how he feels and making them understand his pain.
