The movie this week was very interesting and a good history lesson for me. \u00a0Although, I must say, I hated the ending!<\/p>\n
I don’t remember the name of the movie, I must have missed it. \u00a0But it was about the Black Panther group. \u00a0It was interesting to see the dynamics of the characters and the corruption woven in and out of the whole story. \u00a0The little girl, who had lost her father, was kept in the dark by her mother, which I can relate to. \u00a0My parents lied to me until their divorce when I was 12, about how my grandfather, my dad’s dad, died. \u00a0I guess they felt that they were protecting me from something…? \u00a0The girls mother didn’t want to tell her that her father was in a gang and was shot to death by the police after someone, which ended up being the mother, ratted him out. \u00a0Unfortunately, when parents, or anyone for that matter, choose to lie about something, the person being lied to can either 1. make up their own story about what happened, or 2. have to hear about it from other people, which may or may not be an accurate account of what actually happened. \u00a0My grandfather shot himself, but my parents told me that he died from a beam falling on him while building a house. \u00a0When my father finally told me, I felt betrayed, and I wondered how I could trust anything they had ever told me. \u00a0A child doesn’t understand reasons behind deceit. \u00a0The little girl in the movie grew up without a father, and her mother coped the only\/best way she knew how I suppose. \u00a0But, I think that when she found out the real story, it hurt her more than if she had been trusted to be told the truth in the first place. \u00a0Children are stronger than many people give them credit for. \u00a0I feel that we should allow people to make their own decisions and feel what ever they need to feel by offering them the truth to begin with.<\/p>\n
Other than that, me being a hopeless romantic, I was hoping the the end would have her going off with him and starting a new life for herself and her daughter. \u00a0But, maybe guilt, pride, stubbornness, all factored in to the decision that she made to stay where she was and live in the past a little, or a lot longer. \u00a0I would like to think that eventually he would come back for her or she would change her mind and go to him. \u00a0But, life is usually not a fairy tale, and things don’t work out that nicely often.<\/p>\n
Overall, I enjoyed the movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
