Submitted by MeShell (Jan 12, 2000)  Powder is the touching, thought provoking and at times desturbing tale of a boy who is born with phonomenal abilities due his mother's accidental electicution by a lighting strike just prior to his birth. The story realy begins when Powder's grandfather whom he has lived with all his life dies leaving the seventeen year old recluse an orphan. He is of course taken to a home for boys and there the trouble begins.
This move is an intreging look at the nature of man and his reaction to the new, strange or differnt. This movie points out, as many writers and directors have in the past, that people always distrust the miraclous. Else why was Christ crucifed.
