| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Good for it's time |
| For the time in which this film was release, it was ground breaking-or was it? All the movies prior to the 70s that had a black person in the main cast was about the same thing: trying to humanize the black race to whites. You can find movies in the 40s, 50s and 60s, trying to hammer in the same theme. It reached a point that for a couple of decades that was all Poitiers films were about. Insert a profession usually reserved for whites (up until those times) Doctor, a cop, a potiential land owner and then watch the faces of the white people twist with rage. If they wanted this film to be REALLY risky, have the autopsy report state that Dr. Brooks made a mistake. What would have been the message then? Aren't black doctors allowed to make mistakes the same as white doctors? Why have it make the point of Dr. Brookes being an exceptional doctor? His wife boasting about his straight A's and so on and so on. Don't get me wrong. This is a good film, but the theme and its message wasn't as groundbreaking as they claimed. It was just one that needed to be hammered home until the idea took. Still great performances by all the cast members. The script, though predictable, is still good. Overall, this is a film worth your time. | |
