I don't think there's one in life and nor is there one in this wonderful movie -- Dirty Pretty Things -- which I saw over the weekend. Some view the movie as having a political message about illegal immigrants but I think that's incidental. I saw it primarily as a low-key (i.e. little violence) thriller about how some very appealing, very real people to get out of trouble. Except for the jerks from British Immigration, everyone else in the movie -- even the one rogue -- is charming; you care about them. So that broadest sense -- "illegal immigrants are people, too" -- I guess it's a political film. But I didn't see much more than that.
