One white hero wouldn’t change a theme. Are you saying this movie isn’t basically about white racism? That would make it more interesting.

Well, of course Jesse dealt with racism in the 50's. But he overcame that to become a Naval Aviator. So if the movie is true to the book, that's going to be there.

But the real story is about Tom and Jesse and their friendship.

Again, if the movie is true to the book.

Which most movies aren't.

Is this movie “woke”?
