Reading Journal 7
Compare Spike Lee’s point of view on race mixing in the movie “Jungle Fever” to the views expressed by Jake Blount and David Bernstein. Which point of view seems to have more validity to you? Explain why.
I suppose Bernstein's view and Spike Lee's view are similar. They
mentioned about society (masses of people) trough example of
relationship of different races. Therefore the same thing which the
two pointed out would happen between different social classes of the
same races. Bernstein and Lee pointed out the difficulty of getting
closer between different societies of people when there are lumps
between different societies, even though individuals got over
prejudices to other groups.
Jake’s point of view is more personal. He was mentioned about
himself. He insisted that he is outsider for every kind of people
because he is mixed, and he is not black, white, yellow and any
certain kind.
