Honestly I havent gone out to the movies in years. LOL. I know its sad but I just haven't made time for it. Not to mention the movies seems to get more expensive every year lol. Plus I have Netflix, so....yea. So if your wondering why I don't do a lot of movie talk on here that would be why.
Moving right along, I got a chance to watch a movie yesterday. An older movie, yes, but a goodie. I watched the 1949 classic, Pinky. Pinky shares the struggle of a girl name Pinky who happens to be of mixed race (black and white). She basically looks white though. She moves back down South (where she grew up) from the North and realizes that she is feeling a social difference. She struggles for acceptance not only from whites but from blacks as well. I feel like the whole motive of the movie for Pinky's journey in demanding respect. She demands to be treated like a human being. Not just her, but her race. Keep in mind she isnt ashamed of being part black.
What I love about Pinky's character is the confidence she displays. Even when she felt disrespected she always carried herself with pride and never backed down. She was very educated as well so that had a lot to do with the way she carried herself.
So that a short glimpse of my take on the movie, I could have written much more but I just want you to watch it for yourself and make your own judgements. So definitely check this one out and I hope you enjoy it.
