Its pretty hard to make pool exciting or even mildly interesting. The same camera shots over and over. Nothing happens. I wish i could write more but I fell asleep on it, woke up and nothing changed. Dull

I hear you man. I LOVE pool but I HATE Baseball! LOL and the only time baseball is interesting to me is in the movie "The Fan" with Robert De Niro for real. But it wasn't the baseball it was what was happening in the rest of the movie. I can't watch "A League of Their Own" or "Field of Dreams" for that same reason. So I get it. Thanks for watching!!

Due to Nick's double standards with Tom & Diasy's separate affairs, I've always felt that he was a biased untrustworthy narrator. Just as Gatsby was delusional about a future with Daisy, Nick was delusional about what type of man Gatsby was even after he learned the truth of his identity. Nick kept trying to rationalize it

I love the 1959 version of Imitation Of Life. It's more intense on the emotional side. But I have a theory about Sarah Jane during her mother's funeral. I don't think Sarah Jane was actually there for Annie's funeral. I think she was only there to ensure that Laura would continue to take care of her. It's the smirk she had on her face in the limousine that gave it away. Now that the only visible evidence of her being half Black is gone, Sarah Jane is now able to live as a full White woman openly to everyone without hiding from her mother. Laura & Susie will likely not call her out on it

Great observation. I never really thought about that but no they would never turn their back on Mary Jane because of the memory of her Mother. I would have to take care of her selfish ass for that alone. The 2 movies are actually quite different. I would love a sequel to this story where Mary Jane marries a white man and her first child comes out obviously black. LOL GENECTICS!! Thanks for watching!!

The Waters character was explained in a nutshell with the story of the poor unfortunate exploited Black soldier in France. No one had the guts to take out or address the white soldiers publicly ridiculing them, so because of Internalised hatred they murdered their own fellow Black soldier.
@Anna-Jade17 күн бұрын
It had nothing to do with them not having the guts to confront the white soldiers. Their anger was directed at the black soldier because he ALLOWED himself to be ridiculed and mocked. Yes, they hated the white soldiers for what they did, but they hated their own black soldier even more for his lack of self respect.

I think your comments on inner codes and even self hatred is very interesting. It's something I've seen in both the autism/nuerodivergent community as well as the queer community. When I'm with a group of nds we talk completely differently to each other then we ever would around nuerotypicals.

"Not unlike the country today." You think we live in the same America as our for fathers? Honestly? And i notice the pictures of the Black man with Trump when you stated "we're not all brothers and sister", i doubt you have made the same corelation with a photo of the late Ron Brown and Clinton. I also find funny the assumption that "white people think we all know each other." Im Black & 45, I've experienced alot of things but white people assuming we all know each other isn't one. Now if thats what you've experienced thats an understandable antidote, however it was conveyed as a fact as opposed to an antidote. Dont know if you'll ever read this but thanks for reading.
@lordjohnson48Ай бұрын
They're other antidotes and inaccurateses throughout your review. I see your outlook of our people's condition in America quite dated. And stating that our condition here is worsening downright dishonest. But again I digress.
@themoviebufferАй бұрын
Regarding the fact that we "all know each other" for whites they put us all in one category however for American Blacks most of us all do kind of "know" each other because we know the struggle. There are things that we do know about each other. There is a kinship of pain that we all share. Those who have experienced it in whatever level or degree. But we are NOT one monolithic group of people, which is obvious. I understand those Blacks who want to fit in, like the school yard playground. If I nestle up to the Bully he won't beat me, or at least not as hard. I get it. Those conservative Blacks are not clueless, they just choose to ignore the racism, or try to get their own slice of the "American Pie" out it somehow. We're all fucked, Black, White, Native Americans, etc. I personally think it will take aliens to land before we all band together. And even that may not do it. Maybe only another thousand years or another World War or 2 more. Thanks so much for watching most importantly for responding. It means so much to ME.

I didn’t feel bad for Sara Jane I felt bad for the mother cause she loved her daughter unconditionally it was not only hard for Sara Jane it was hard for her mother as well back then no one approve or respect mixed marriages or mixed childrens Sara Jane was selfish and only thought about herself I watch this movie as a child an I always felt this way there nothing like a mothers love but her guilt at the end show how she was responsible for her own mothers death she die from broke heart the only thing she had of her own was her daughter an she love her unconditionally an she denied her only one mother of that
@themoviebufferАй бұрын
The mother was a sad case. What we don't do for our children? We feel their pain even though we know there is nothing we can do about it. I would have loved to see a sequel of sorts for Sara Jane's story after the fact. Maybe a story about her grandchildren or something. I think that would be worth the read. Thanks so much for watching!!
@lamarkeys1847Ай бұрын
This is for the commentator of this movie. Ma'am Sarah Jane doesn't struggle with her identity as African American. Her character is doing these things because how society treats her. That boy didn't want to be with her because she was Black. Ma'am you need to go back to the drawing and ask Black how they feel in a society that want them in it.
@themoviebufferАй бұрын
Thanks so much for watching! But I'm not sure what movie you were watching but Sarah Jane says that she not only does not want to be Black but that she hates even being associated with being Black aka her own Mother. She says it over and over throughout the entire movie! But that is what's so great about movies, everyone can have different perspectives.

The proviso that some viewers may find the content offensive. Is as much a commentary on the theme of Imitation of Life as the film itself. The proviso is an insult to those made the film, those that approach any piece of art on its own terms, and destructive example of "woke" , where the visceral truth is suppressed. And for what point?

The way Dickie turned on Tom was brutal...he saw Tom as a tool...a rich man's pet. Once he got tired of it, once he was no longer " cute " , he wanted to be rid of him and started abusing him. What he did not think about was pets grow and grow up; their teeth become sharper. When the pet is kicked, just one more kick is all it takes before it bites back. Dickie, if he had lived, he would have eventually left Marge.. even if he did marry her and had a family. He would have exhausted every well.. personal as well as financial. He would have died a vain, jaded man..and alone...just a little later.

This is an encoded film by producer Ross Hunter ie `passing as straight`. I interviewed Ross Hunter and love him but this film, and the violnece against the mixed race Black girl, has no justification. Furthermore it emanates from Hunter`s own guilt as a gay man and as a Jew. Casting Susan Kohner who has German, Jewish and hispanic origins only reenforces my theory that it is Hunter`s Jewish guilt projected onto a mainstream audience. Terrible for Jews to watch, resonates of Nazi Germany. But then director Douglas Sirk was a Jewish German refugee from Hitler who seems to have hated Jews as much as Hunter (and Adolph Hitler)

Good show until I noticed the daughter looked awkward and found out she was a he. I wish they didn’t do that and try to sneak in that narrative but rather play him as a trans teen so it would be more lifelike and entertaining to watch.
