Movie Reviews of 500 Years Later
Movie Review: Fantastic Documentary! BUT...SHAME ON MR. PEYTON'S COMMENTS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
@ Donald Peyton:
For such a disdainful commentary, I fail to see you offering an alternative. SHAME ON YOU MR. PEYTON!!! SHAME ON YOU!!! Though you are obviously entitled to your own opinion, you might want to remember that if you are merely criticizing others attempts to bring to light the history that created the problem and are not offering a solution to the problem, then you are simply part of the problem, if for no other reason than you continue to perpetuate the problem! SHAME ON YOU!!!
This was a beautifully, thought provokingly, well organized documentary. Being a 47 y/o white female, I was left both embarrassed and remorseful for the actions of what I can only assume were the actions of some of my ancestors, but certainly by those of whites that came before me. I AM SOOOOOOOO SORRY FOR WHAT WE DID, & CONTINUE IN SOME CASES TO DO TO YOU!!! NOT JUST AS A RACE, BUT AS INDIVIDUALS!!! IT WAS WRONG!!! If I could change what was done I would. But I can't. Neither can any of the rest of you. But that doesn't mean you just turn around and walk away. We ALL (regardless of your race) have a responsibility to get up every day and do what we can to foster and improve not only race relations between each other, but most importantly, to teach and SHOW the young African Americans (or whatever country you're in)coming up that they are beautiful inside and out, and capable of everything and anything that their white "counterparts" are, that they are WORTHY of the best life has to offer, that they have such a beautiful and rich African history to lavish themselves in & to pull from (outside/aside from the torturous portions), but that it is of paramount importance to learn and embrace the worst of their history, as painful and mind-boggling as it may be, for it is the only way to ensure that it won't be repeated! But most important of all, we MUST create a way, an environment, for these children to be taught all of this. And in a day where money is so tight, funding so difficult to be found, the simplest most basic way to begin is simply by loving your neighbor. By treating them the way that you know you would want to be treated. By quietly practicing random acts of kindness with out the expectation of receiving so much as a pat on the back for compensation, but just doing it because it's the right thing to do.
It would at least be a start...
