So far I saw 3 different movies directed by Emilio Estevez. The Path, The Public an the one about RFK. I think they all missed an opportunity. They have the right cast, the right them, but the wrong plot.
About this particular movie, it portray all homeless people as good hearthed, when in reality, just like mankind, there are good and bad bundled together. Many homeless are there because of their drug use, and they engage in crime as well, like stealing bikes, copper wire, burglary, etc. So they are not all angels.
And the message of the movie is wrong, because instead of showing how homeless shelters can be improved with showers, laundry machines, storage room, it just propose as a solution to transform public libraries into homeless community centers, which will as consequence just shoo away families and book enthusiast altogether (we know that the smell from dirty clothes can be unbearable for regular patrons).
