Save the Last Dance-Race Again

Save The Last Dance

OOOOOHHHH BOY, this movie is crazy good. Julie is a dancer that is forced to move to the ghetto after her mother dies. She finds a very good looking black man at her new school who teachers her to dance and much more. This movie is perfect for Race because it deals with societies issue of mixed racial couples. In another class at school my boyfriend and I did a survey about this exact subject asking people how excepting people really are of mixed gender races. We found that people were more excepting of others more so than for themselves.
but back to the movie...
Julie is your typical movie white girl. She is a classically trained ballet artist that doesn't have much ryhtem. Eric the boy she meet is an ex gang member who just wants to help her out with her dance moves. In some ways this movies moves to break the stereotype of black males because the main character whats to go to bed school. The women in this movie are not shown in a good light because some are getting pregnant and getting in fights with their babies daddies.
