American Underdog (2021)
Choose What Movies You Allow Your Children To Watch Carefully
Movies, books, music, arts all plant the seeds of character. This type of movie is dangerous! It might cause a young man to believe that dreams can come true if you work hard, believe in yourself, endure, and allow God to work out the timing. This is more of a faith story than it is a "football story." I really enjoyed it and hope that it will have a long life beyond it's theatrical release. Our country's youths needs to see more movies with this type of message!!
Lady and the Tramp (2019)
It's Not 1955 Anymore
When Disney released lady and the tramp (1955) the majority of American households would not have excepted a mixed marriage being portrayed on the screen. However, New Orleans in the early 1900s was one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Many people from the creole population (a mix of European and black peoples - especially French/black), we're frequently Part of the social elite. Mixed marriages, such as the one portrayed in this updated release, were not uncommon at this time and location.
Many of the reviews here are making claims that Disney is being "PC." Actually, they're being accurate to the reality of the time and location. However, based upon these reviews, I guess many Americans don't know the facts about this wonderful city and still have a lot of work left to do when it comes to racial acceptance.
Thank you Disney! It is a delightful movie!
