A reality in which on any given day, some innocent person like Tommy Le can get shot hours before his high-school graduation because he was carrying a pen, or another innocent person like Sandra Bland can get into a car, and then three days later she is going to end up dead in jail, or a five years old child can get shot and wounded after the police kills his mother. In all honesty, The Hate U Give has made me realize just how simply clueless I was as to the continuing day-to-day actuality of systemic racism in America. “What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?” It was truly incredible and I have SO MUCH to say about it I wish I could actually just send everyone a howler containing the entire script of this book instead. This book has made me feel every single possible emotion at the same time.

Even if you're not too interested in social issues, it's just a good story in general to get absorbed in for a couple hours.So good. But it's a really good film for everyone, regardless of race. If a God said this film could only be shown to every black person in America or every non-black person, I would say with absolute certainty that every non-black would be the ones who need to see it.
I promise you it's not that it's a complex, thought-provoking fictional world that mirrors issues of the real world in the best way possible.I'm not black btw, and that's all the more reason why I should be a member in the audience I've never experienced anything like this first hand. I wonder if the people who rated it low even watched the film, or they simply thought it was some sort of ignorant propaganda biased on the trailers.
#The hate you give goodreads movie
Honestly I loved the music, all the scenes, the complexity of the situation the main characters find them in, I loved the ending, and I loved the characters.When I saw the 5.9 on imdb but higher critic score, I thought this movie simply got good reviews from the critics because the critics liked that it brought up a real-life issue that needed to be delved into and explored, but that it was boring to the audience who might not care about social issues as much, but now after watching it. Fortunately this movie provides a narrative that can help one consider the issue of racial bias.In addition to being a wonderful social commentary, it's also a wonderful film and story in general.
