The trailer turned me right off. I don’t know what the movie is really like, but the trailer made me think it was about a brave and perfect black man who is just better than all the white people, and the white people are (of course) prejudiced and at first fail to see how brave and perfect the black man is, but he shows them the error of their ways.

And, you know, I’ve seen that movie before. Several times.

Yep - Sidney Poitier made a career out of playing these roles.

So, the fact that it’s based on a true story is meaningless?
