Comtech Movie Review

The mini movie we saw on Friday about racism was very well done. It was about a black teenage boy in Germany getting insulted while on the train buy and elderly woman. It wasn’t only entertaining, it had a message; a message that in the past has been a big problem and still to this day is. This movie was clearly made a while ago, but the meaning hasn’t changed. Racism is unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason for it and this movie makes that very clear. Some said that what the teenage boy on the train did wasn’t justified. I disagree. During the whole ride, he had kept quiet as the woman insulted him, making completely disgusting comments. He just sat there and took what she said. He was reserved and polite until the very last minute. He gave her exactly what she deserved. He had done nothing to deserve what she said but she had done everything to deserve what he did. In my eyes, what he did wasn’t that wrong. He could have done much worse, but he felt that this was enough to get the little bit of revenge he wanted, if you can call it revenge. I call it a warning. A warning to never say what she just said again. It wasn’t only toward black people; it was towards the Turks and Italians as well. I feel this movie was effective about a very serious issue.
