Why is it, that in the 30 years between Medgar's murder and the main action of the movie, Medgar's children become full-grown adults and James Woods becomes a wrinkled old man, but Whoopi Goldberg looks like she hasn't aged a day?
shareOne of the first things I noticed! I think they needed to add at least a half-dozen gray hairs to her! She seemed exactly the same in both courtrooms that were 30 years apart. Maybe the only shortcoming is that this was not one of Goldberg's best performances, although she has many others that are quite outstanding.
share"Black don't crack" maybe?

Most stereotypes are very true, and I don't see why stereotypes get such a bad rap as long as everyone uses them with the understanding that there are exceptions to all rules (even death probably, depending on your perception or <gag> "faith").
A majority of black people seem to age somewhat better than white people. Personally, from what I have noticed though, some young black people, already look older than their age in the beginning, which plays a part in this. A 20 year old black woman who already looks 30-35, might not look that different when she hits 45, because, from my experience, black people don't really start "aging" as it pertains to seriously noticeable appearance, until after the age of 50. I think Whoopi in real life actually is an example of the same phenomenon represented by her characters.
So, yeah.
