Very emotion movie on race laid out very evenly
Black or white, nobody’s perfect and the movie does a good job portraying that. Kevin Costner plays Elliot Andersen, the grandfather of a Eloise Andersen who he’s been raising with his wife since the day she was born, but when he’s wife passes suddenly, her Grandma Rowena does not feel Elliot is capable of taken care of the child alone, epically when the death of his wife brings out what she considers his drinking problem, so she gets her little brother, a lawyer to take legal action.The movie seems to work as a vehicle to freely say the things that I think need to be said about race in this country. We live in a world were we can be so politically correct that it does nothing to actually solve the problem, but sweep it under the rug, and this movie is not about that.
But that’s superficial for selling the movie to the audience. Black or White would work equally if everyone in the movie were black or white. It’s a real story about a blended family were the child is unable to be cared for by the parents and the village has to step in.
This movie is about love, as sappy as it sounds. No one is perfect, but if you love someone enough, the right thing can be done for their benefit. this statement goes for anyone no matter if they are black or white.
Black or White does work for the court room scenes however. It was like watching two different countries use an political agenda to take control of an island they both wanted. To watch Grandpa Elliot do nothing but show love for his Eloise, after his wife’s death and attempt to keep it all together for her, then watch him be attacked in the court for being too white to take care of a black child was painful.
Yeah, I would definitely recommend this movie to see, I’m glad Costner was able to get it made.
