It is considerable to shot some‘anti-racist white hero’ film

 

In the White people solve Racism, the main character of the film tries to protect the black and thus become a hero of anti-racist. On seeing that film, I begin to reflect on the current society. In the current society, although most people do not pay attention to the race issues, they do influence the daily life of us.

In the modern society, although the level of the technology has already reached a high state, the race issues are still troubling us, why?

Among the films which are shot in the Hollywood, some of them maintain the status of the white while looking down upon the black (Mcfarlane 2015). In the films, the black is at a disadvantage and they are often treated unfairly. For instance, in the film To Kill a Mockingbird, it is described that the black is treated unfairly that a black man named Tom is accused of ripe in the area where the people tend to look down upon the black. However, the truth is that Tom does not commit ripe at all and he is innocent in fact (Madison 1999).

After watching this movie, I am very angry that in the US where the legislation is so perfect and famous around the world, the innocent black man should be unfairly treated by the law court, which is beyond my wildest imagination!

Thinking about the event, I would like to ask the people some questions.

Do the black people tend to commit crimes in the society?

Do the black people have some evil souls?

Are there no good doctors who belong to the black people saving the life of the white?

After knowing the questions listed above, I think many people have known that the black people have no difference when it comes to the soul.

On the other hand, I would like to display some positive roles the white plays in the anti-racism films. In the films like Avatar and Last Samurai, there is some white hero who tries to protect the interests of the black.

I find that there are some common characters of those films. First, the white hero in the film does not realize the nobility of the black but the white hero gets to know it when he contacts with the black by chance. Through the contact, the white hero learns about that even the black is also soft and innocent. Second, the white sacrifices a lot to help the black in the films, which is very moving (Case 2012).

However, in the real world, there are so many people who do not know the black really but they view the black unfairly and even treat them unfairly.

In my opinion, we can know the black when we get in touch with them. If you are commented unfairly by a stranger, would you be pleased? Taking this into consideration, when facing the black, it is suggested that either you do not comment on them or you just know them first.
