If they'd made the film too challenging the White Americans wouldn't have wanted to know about the film.
Most of them are too shallow with a short concentration span.
That's why films like Captain America are popular

Whatever. This movie was the best, and like the englishman said people wouldn't want to watch a movie that was too challenging or too deep and serious.

That's true: most White women, a big part of the audience of this film, want feel-good stories about relationships between White women and women of color. They want to feel that all that hard stuff is over now, resolved. But it's not, of course. I appreciated the candid reviews of Kennedy and others who point this out.

I'm thrilled to read these reviews. I thought I was the only one in the world to think the book came up very short in what it COULD have been. It's shallow and will appeal to the masses. I haven't seen the movie, but I expect it will be the same. I struggled to get through the book. I was so disappointed when it didn't have more depth. @ John B... I am a white Mississippian. I get to have an opinion.:)

Movies are meant to entertain, correct? If you want to watch something serious, maybe a documentary will be more to your liking. It was a fantastic movie. That doesn't mean I'm shallow or simple-minded. I agree with Lindsey Elias.
