The Academy Awards
Alex C:
I think it's important to remember that saying the movie has racist overtones isn't the same as claiming that the creators had a malicious agenda they were trying to perpetrate.
Lines:
Push is fiction that is based on people Sapphire had met, so it's not really a "true story", but it's still real enough.
RallyMonkey:
When books that are advertised as non-fiction contain large amounts of untruths, I have a really hard time believing a fiction author didn't take huuuuuge jumps away from her source material.
EDIT: Also, Alex, I'm not sure if you were speaking to me, but I'm definitely not trying to imply that Lee Daniels, Sapphire, or Geoffry Fletcher are racist, just that they did a fairly poor job making material that deals heavily with race deal with it well.

Well yeah, but tons of authors do that with their novels.

Inglorious Basterds was a mess of a film. Not even in a good way.
