[Last Visible Dog]

This movie wants us to cherish "how things used to be," and it's made with so much elan that we may not notice that its version of the truth is nothing but hogwash.

Being that the movie takes place in 1938, how could it not be "how things used to be"

Not to mention that fact that it IS a true story. How can a true story be hogwash???

Although there were a few black jockeys in those days, they were not permitted to ride the best horses. I would guess that racetracks were segregated, too, as were most public accommodations in those days. Even basketball was a white man's game back then.

But this kind of whining from critics is ridiculous. As if every single movie about anything that happened before 1965 MUST either feature a black character, no matter how obscure or false, or else it must have a significant commentary about segregation, otherwise it is "hogwash." Sheesh. Can't we just enjoy a story about a horse without all this social-history crap getting thrown out?
