They're almost all old white guys... Maybe it's instead about arrogance, prejudice, peer pressure, realizing your position of power, criticism of your sources, trying to open up rigid people, the importance of (productive) conversation, being able to change your opinions and looking at things from multiple perspectives. "Do you think you were born with a monopoly on the truth?". Plus it's just brilliant cinema.

2022-11-29 19:49:47 +0000 UTCTo me, this brilliant expose' of human emotions run amuck is just what the current climate needs. For a group of strangers to carry on a calm, reasoned discussion about a complex issue these days seems almost impossible. As the film showed, without first identifying each one's personal bias and confronting their motivations, nothing could be accomplished. I was especially impressed by the concise writing of each character.

2022-11-29 08:01:05 +0000 UTCThere's currently an unexplainable obsession on the Reactor-verse, as this seems to be one of the only three or four B&W classic movies that HS/college kids will watch-- I suspect it has something to do with wishful Gen-Z fantasies about the climax, with good open-minded people all turning their back as a group and canceling an old white guy who wanted to unfairly convict an ethnic teen because of his ageist issues...
