Can 365 Days Change A Person?: Day 83

Literati was horrible today. I am not a person who will usually say a person is a cheater if they typically use every day words. However, my opponent today either had just plain old fantastic luck and needs to go buy a lotto ticket before the luck wears off or something was just not right. It is not terribly uncommon to get more than 1 bingo bonus word. However every single one played on the board? No typical especially if at least 4 were done. Either way here was the board from today:

Today's Movie: The Education of Little Tree

I am mixed on this movie. Let me explain why. There has been much controversy over the story in the first place. You can read more about The Education of Little Tree by clicking the link here: Little Tree Controversies. That said, I did not know any of this before already forming my opinions of this movie. That was Spencer being himself and his curiosities getting the best of him as he was pretty sure the film was supposed to be based upon fact rather than fiction.
The things I absolutely loved in this film: The breathtaking scenery. The scenery is much expected for the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. Being from Tennessee I expected no less and I was not let down. I enjoyed the more realistic response from animals although I am well aware they are all trained to act and respond on cue. That the children remained innocent in actions for most of the movie, baffled even by the people in their surroundings. I liked that Little Tree learned from doing and experience versus just do this and do that.

Now the downside of this film: I felt that the racism pushed boundaries. While it is possible that this were the views of the time period I felt it was a bit too much. The people who are good are too good. The people who are bad are too bad. The acting is mediocre at best. More of a ho hum I am bored acting in this. More research should have been done to portray a more realistic rendition of Cherokee ways. Too stereotypical.

Overall view of this movie: It is about a young boy who is part Cherokee and part Caucasian. After being orphaned he goes to live with the side of his family that lives of the Earth and practices the beliefs of the Cherokee. He begins to learn of what a Cherokee is and just how much of the Cherokee is truly within him. There is an innocence about him as the racism spews about around him. While he is accepted as Cherokee he is told in an American school he must have an American name. The school he was forced to attend refused to let him be Cherokee. He was to speak no Indian rather English only. He would not be called Little Tree but rather Joshua. You cannot help but fall in love with this handsome little boy who is simply perplexed by the world around him and all of it's contradictions.
