As if it weren't even in the script. It's like they just showed up and were randomly interviewing people from 1988 and not 1964.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
Agreed. Especially the old withered lady missing teeth saying how "Black people were dirty and smelled"
I hadn't watched this movie in a long time and its recently been out on cable again and I watched it again last week, but I remember being shocked by it when I first saw it in 1988. I was raised by liberal parents in Southern California. I was 18 years old in 1988 and was in the Army with people from all walks of life. Many in the theater were rednecks from the South and they were whooping, hollering and yelling at the violence toward the blacks in the movie, the beatings, the lynchings, etc. Needless to say I was shocked beyond belief. I had many black friends growing up. I was almost knocked over by the display of vile racism i was seeing. Witnessing it first hand really made me wonder how the hell these people thought this way.
" Tell me mom...when your little girl's on the slab...where will it tickle you?"
Where was it that you saw the movie (in the theater)? That wasn't SoCal, was it?
shareI saw it when i was in the Army stationed overseas in Germany. 1989 is when i saw it but we used to get the movies about a year later than stateside release. but yes i did see it at a theater on a Military base

Would have preferred it if those interviews were real.
