Important factors early in the movie:
o The fact that they producers/directs directors decided to
open the movie with different racial and sexual slurs say a
lot about the film.
o Another interesting thing I noticed about the film is that I
don't think you'll get the same effect as you would if it
were a book.
o It is really effective to see it. Whereas people had written
books about racial slurs.
o For our generation it is, in my opinion more important and
more intriguing for us to see it in front of us, especially in
todays day and age. According to Lancioni, "viewers ability
to analyze a visual text is grounded in their familiarity with
generic conventions of production and reception"
