newyorker12 Review of Taught to Hate

Taught to Hate (2009)

Educationial and hits home about discrimination

[9/10 · 31 December 2009]

The story was real and the characters came out on screen well. The story moves well and is easily understood. When you're finished watching this short film it makes you think about what's going on in your own backyard/neighborhood. Though the movie ends on a sad note (sorry for the spoiler) it does so by delivering its message about discrimination. The cinematography was 1st class in my opinion for a low budget short film. This movie would benefit schools and would be something that could educate our youth. I thought the movie was well acted. Finally, I thought the acting of Antonio and his sister Carmen really made this film come to life during the flashbacks between the two (without these flashbacks it would not have been the same. This part of the story was really well written and deserves an A+ for how and when these flashbacks took place in the movie).
