Under all its quiet nuances lies a film full of anger and political rage. Half Nelson displays the failure to communicate between people, emotions, lovers and your self. A story about a friendship between a white history teacher, addicted to crack, stunningly portrayed by Ryan Gosling, equally matched by his black student Shareeka Epps, trying to get into dealing drugs. Here Ryan Fleck brings us questions of morality and who truly owns that word and why it has governed our political landscape.
