Son of the South (2020)
Very similar to Freedom Song
This film is very similar to the TV film Freedom Song with Danny Glover. You had a guy killed for trying to register to vote, plus the white guy Bob Zellner is a lot similar to Michael Jode.
Jasper, Texas (2003)
Passage at the end
A couple of weeks' ago I had watched this film on one of the True Movies channels. And I remember at the end of the film there was a passage that said something more or less like;
"This was the first time a white man faced the death penalty for killing a black man since 1851 or some of year, I can't quite remember. And that at that time it was because a farmer had killed a slave of another farmer, and that it was no race issue but a property issue."
It sickens me how those people back then just thought that black people were disposable commodities, or less than human. Another example is how when the US constitution was first established, it stated that a slave was considered three fifths of a man. Look up the Three Fifths Compromise to know what I'm referring to.
The Simpsons: The Falcon and the D'Ohman (2011)
Aspergers syndrome
This episode had elements of Aspergers syndrome in it. You got Wayne who is introvert finding it very difficult to socialise with other people for example his coworkers. Plus he's a quiet guy who is focused on his work. Then a second example is the scene where Marge gives Bart and Lisa a different snack which they really disapprove of especially Lisa who exclaims "I like routine! I like routine!". Although there have been hints in previous episodes that Lisa may have Aspergers syndrome, this scene strongly indicates that she has it because most people with Autism or Aspergers syndrome do prefer to have patterns and routines on how they do their things and they can get extremely upset if there is a surprising change to their ways of doing things.
Green Street (2005)
Coming of age
I think this film shows the main character played by Elijah Wood as being a passive dude who is toughened up from his experiences with the hooliganism to face the person who set him up towards the end. It shows how you can't let things slip away all the time. You have always got to face your challenges, no matter how big they seem. He acknowledges this when he says "There's a time to stand your ground" and "There's a time to walk away". I hated that Harvard preppy who set him up. When he got his just desserts at the end it showed how the powerful become weak, and how the weak become powerful. It really irritates me how others who are well off try taking advantage of people who are not so fortunate.
