A Day in Black and White (1999)
Member Rating:  
A non-narrative comedy that explores issues of race in contemporary America, A Day in Black and White concerns two friends who are students, identified only as Black Man and White Man. Black Man has to deliver a speech in class on race relations, and the two begin to discuss both the speech and the larger ideas involved; and, as one might expect, they have decidedly different views on the subject. As the pair go through their day, the argument continues and others add their opinions on everything from popular culture and professional sports to the O.J. Simpson case. The debut film from writer and director Desmond Hall, A Day in Black and White was shown at the 1999 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This movie gives a multi faceted, thought provoking and humorous look at race relations and observation. Worth seeing, if you like seeing what other "enlightened" people think about race relations. It's not preachy either. It simply conveys the different attitudes and outlooks the "races" have about each other without being stereotypical, by "playing" on stereotypes. Check this out, particularly, if you are interracially dating. It will give you somethin' to talk about, during and after the movie. Everybody, check this movie out!!
