I enjoyed watching this film, it showed the social and economic differences between the black and white culture. The film does ignore the women's perspective. The film portrays women as almost second class citizens. The women are largely ignored and just seen as objects. The society led or influenced women to go against their morals and better judgment by having relations, because they thought that is what they had to do. It was almost like it was expected of them. The women were called "bitch" and "ho" and "whore". These words were extremely offensive names to call a women. But again these names and actions towards women were just accepted as a common natural occurrence. I think the attitude of the film would have been very different if the views of women would have been told. It would have offered a very different opinion on the happenings of that time period. And also would have made it possible to compare and contrast the views of both the men and the women. But either way I eel this was a very informative well done film.
