Review of Summer's End

this is one of my all time favorites from when I was a kid I was nine years old when it first came out. up until today its been 16 years since I've seen it James earl Jones was a powerhouse I thought he was courageous and a good friend and mentor to Jamie he gave a powerful performance that blew me away and it even brought tears to my eyes. what was outrageous was how hunter's friend blamed the terrible tragedy that happened to their friend on William Blakely even though it wasn't his fault and he even tried to help prevent the tragedy and him being black and the ignorant way that others around them thought that gave them even more reason to hate him. I liked how determined James earl Jones character was in not giving in to hate the strength that he showed was amazing. Jamie's brother hunter refused to give William a chance because of the him and his friends actions towards him and because of his stubbornness it drove a wedge between Jamie and Hunter and he didn't understand how he could spend so much time with some'one that he considered an outcast and stranger. part of what compels people to racism is ignorance and their failure to see people of other races and religions as human beings and that's where people fail in moral judgment every day. this movie is a wonderful example of how getting to know some'one without prejudice and just being a friend can truly break down racial barriers if more people would show that kind of judgment every day.
