Pleasantville, Bullworth and American History X: Film Review

 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Are racial stereotypes challenged or reinforced in the film?

Why does Bulworth start rapping?

What is the transition Bulworth makes at the end of the film? Why?

As one review noted, "Still, the film should have been more balanced in reflecting the African American community and its leaders. The stereotypes only take away from the message" (Workers World).  What do you think this "message" is?  Do you agree with the quoted criticism?
