I don't think so. Sort-of. But it's more difficult than those who believe in the power of cinema would like to believe especially thanks to confirmation bias. I can name TV shows (The Cosby Show, All in the Family, Modern Family) that have arguably helped create a more tolerant America and I'm sure there's movies out there that have helped as well. But I really don't think there's a single movie or TV episode out there you can show a racist today and get them to change. After decades of Hollywood spreading the same messages, if you still hold on to the same beliefs, you ain't changing your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and my mother come from the entitlement branch of Trump supporters of "Not all x people are bad, just the ones that take up welfare and don't get a job!"

One movie can hardly change anything, but if you're willing to challenge yourself by watching a bunch of movies that think different than you, as long as they have a reasonable pov, they will have a permanent effect on you.

Cmasterclay Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Even the Wall Street Journal gave it a glowing review, and they kind of hate black people. This must be really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just hit 80/0, so a Certified Fresh with 100% should be coming soon. When was the last time that happened for a major studio release? Zootopia? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As will be the inevitable 20M+ OW. It'll be so funny when an original horror movie in February whose only recognizable aspect is the actor-turned-director's 1st turn in the directing gig outperforms Blair fucking Witch in its opening weekend.
