There is a lot more truth in movies like ‘Hurricane’ and ‘The Green Mile’ than the two of you seem to be aware of. The statement in Rob’s response, ‘…just when race relations are going great…’ is an example of the problem that still exists. Race relations aren’t ‘going great.’ Blacks still face acts of violence, prejudice in the legal system and oppression in the workplace. I don’t know what’s so ‘great’ about that, except that perhaps you don’t feel it directly affects you. This is why these movies need to be shown.
