Love This FIlm


I think this film is well done and close to the book--I wish there were morre films out there that depicted this type of Af Am lifestyle--we're not all gangsters and welfare mothers! Hopefully a film will come out that really crushes sterotypes--like a modern larger scale version of this film--hope it's on dvd soon!

I agree completely! We just love this beautiful, classy film. I had no idea that there was such a different a culture on Martha's Vineyard at that time in history.

Though I'm white, I too wish that there were more realistic representations of African Americans in movies and on television. No group of people are all exactly the same and it is ignorance on the part of the entertainment business to act as if every black person behaves and speaks the same way.
