Gran Torino

I am not the biggest fan of the plot line in Gran Torino, but I can say the producer shows racism very well. It shows a man who is very racist, but get over the racism due to the kindness of a different race. Stereotypical racism is showed because before Walt even knows the other race, he automatically doesn't like them. Throughout the film he learns to be friends with and trust different kinds of people. It shows good life lessons to the people who believe in Stereotypes.

CRASH

Crash is one of my favorite movies that shows signs of racism everywhere. Although the movie jumped around, it was very easy to follow because of the in depth look we go in every scene. Everyone can relate to this movie in their own way, no matter what race or what they believe in. It should open the eyes of every viewer of the movie.
