I'm of the opinion the movie was borderline racist because every African American in the movie, from the neighborhood drug dealer to the the NCAA investigator, was at odds with, or didn't appear to give a crap about Oher....and I found it that hard to believe.
Kudos to you for coming back and explaining your opinion. :hi:
I don't know if you know much about Memphis, but the portrayals in the movie are very accurate. I was born and raised there. I can see why someone who doesn't know Memphis could infer a racial bias, but if you know anything about the city, you'll know that it's actually that bad.
Another poster mentioned they didn't even film the movie in the city. Know why? The freakin city is so corrupt they tried to shake down the production company for the "privilege" of filming in the city. So, they went to Atlanta, paid a nominal fee for a filming permit, which is normal in most big cities, and made their movie.
I agree everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, just as you appreciate folks responding with respectful, thought out posts, I think many would also appreciate a little forethought before throwing the term "racist" on something.
TBH, after reading your posts, I really think you are too intelligent to fall into that trap. Seriously.
