racism at its finest

In this class we have watched a number of movies that are about race. In the movie "Do the right thing" Spike Lee was the director. If this movie was directed by a white person this movie would have a totally different view. When every one was crowded around Sal's pizzeria Radio got his box smashed with a bat. A fight broke out causing the police  to come. When they came I noticed they were all white cops. One white cop started choking Radio and killed him. The other guy that was with Radio was thrown in the back of a police car. Now if this movie was directed by a white director there would have been more use of the N word, more violence towards the black people. There could be a lot of fatalities involving whites on black fights and what not. The director might have swat come in and arrest everybody at Sal's for destroying it and lighting it on fire.
      You have asked if the movie "Schindler's list" would have been diifferent if he was a german catholic. I think that is a hundred percent right. Since Speilburg was a jewish person he has the views of what it was like during the Holocaust, the nasty devastating horror he had to live in before he came to be a Schindler jew. If he was a german catholic he would have the views of a nice house to live in, a good meal to eat every night before laying in a bed that felt like you were on clouds. He would have the joy of shooting those jews like most of the germans did. So yes this movie would have a different view not to mention a different plot.
          Last but not least the movie "Glory." This movie was told by a white actor basically focusing on the commander, which was also white. Now this story is about the civil war and the civil war was fought for the end of slavery. So that being said the commander at first didn't like these black people all to well. But then his view turned drastically with a snap of a stick. When the commander found out why the one black guy tried to leave, it was because he needed new footwear because his feet looked like hamburger meat. So the commander went and got everybody in the regiment new footwear. If this was told by a black director I really do think it would show how these dudes were being treated, how they had to live while in the regiment, what they were fed. More vulgar terms may be used and yes of course the n word. I really do think the ethnicity's of these directors takes a toll on the movie itself. There are plenty of different ways these stories can be told and they all lead back to what the ethnicity of the director is.
