Race

So, I was watching the movie Save the Last Dance and I realized how much the movie has to do with race and everything we have been talking about in class. Seriously, if you can watch it you should since it relates to class. The movies main story is about a girl who is a dancer but behind that, she is white and she has a black boyfriend. They live in a bad part of Chicago where violence and drugs is an issue. Throughout the movie many characters have problems because a white girl is dating a black boy and in their eyes that isn't right and the movie also shows the stereotypes of each race. Another point that is stressed is their places in society. Many people in the movie feel as though they will never be anything more than what they are at that point in their lives so they turn to violence and drugs. Anyway, that was just a little synopsis of what happens, but if you can watch it and think about everything we have learned in class, it makes the movie seem a lot more about race than it does about dance.
