Awareness of Racism
First of all, Paul Haggis indicates effects of racism effectively clear in the movie. He tries to make a point on how societies view themselves and others in the world based on their ethnicities. Furthermore, there are people in different races and belief in the movie both good and bad ones. Some of them have racial prejudice against people who are from other ethnicities. Because of this attitudes, people always hurt each other both emotional and physically; however, Paul Haggis manages to show us that there is not any kind of differences between people according to their appearance, wealth or nationality.In my opinion, the turning point of the movie is the scene that the officer John Ryan survived the black woman whom he groped the day before. At that scene, John Ryen regrets the thing he had done. Furthermore, each person in the movie who has racial judgment starts to regret their actions and comprehends that the racism only hurts people and drives a wedge between people.To sum up, the movie helps us to comprehend that we should put our prejudices and racial attitudes away. Because everyone around the world has the same problems, same rights and the same feelings no matter whether they are black or white, maybe poor or rich, and maybe American or Persian;however, the most important thing is not to forget that they are human as well.
