Parker Sawyers nailed his character as Barack. The Good Times show and paintings discussion was really great. A short movie at 116 minutes makes for such a better movie but it had a slow start and then a drag later in the movie. Hate from both sides is illustrated in this and hateful thoughts and discussions. The movie was entertaining and story just neat but seemed sensationalized at times. Everyone should see this so you can see other’s points of view.

Quotes from the movie, “I completely agreed with the judge’s decision. And I told Thompson six months ago that we would lose if we tried it like a trademark dispute. I was basically silenced for voicing a dissenting opinion. Hmm. There’s no real contribution at our level. There’s only the illusion of contribution.”, “Now add on that I’m black. All that extra work I put in to compensate for being a woman? Being black erases that and brings me back down to zero. So now I’m working double time. Just to be seen for who I am and what I’m capable of. Now how’s it gonna look to a guy like Thompson if I swoop in and start dating the first cute black guy who walks through the firm’s doors? The liberal-minded people will think it’s precious and the closed-minded people will think it’s pathetic. You think I’m cute? I didn’t say that.” and "My girlfriend at Columbia was white. It was pretty serious...with Jennifer...a little over two years...When we went to visit her family, they were incredible gracious to me. Very nice, open-minded people but you know, I looked around at all the pictures on the walls, you know. All the white faces. I knew I could not spend any more of my life living as an outsider."
