      "Guess who is coming to the dinner"-The Voice of America

      In that hot era of racial problems, youth problems, and problems of social trends, Hollywood ushered in two good movies starring Sidney Poitier in 1967, but it’s very interesting that Poitier played The characters are basically the styles and styles of the actor's "Lily in the Field" before, and...

      This should be a political movie

      We need to look at it in the context of the 1960s. After all, in the United States at the time, the marriage of blacks and whites was still illegal in more than a dozen states and would be prosecuted. "Civil rights is one thing, marriage is another." From the point of view of watching movies, this...

      The physical performance of the black uncle is too self-confident, or he is a stage actor.... I am here for Katharine Hepburn! The queen of 512!

      I didn't think it was interesting, but it was basically compact. I started to feel that firing racially discriminatory employees was a bit of a joke, and it was a bit over the top. But if you think about it carefully, you might do the same if you put yourself in the shoes, the phrase "different kind of person" Really point to the question, the subsequent development is also very comprehensive and profound, but I still feel that the fire is not enough, and some places are not perfect.

    Guess Who's Coming to Dinner quotes

    • [last lines]

      Matt Drayton: Now Mr. Prentice, clearly a most reasonable man, says he has no wish to offend me but wants to know if I'm some kind of a *nut*. And Mrs. Prentice says that like her husband I'm a burned-out old shell of a man who cannot even remember what it's like to love a woman the way her son loves my daughter. And strange as it seems, that's the first statement made to me all day with which I am prepared to take issue... cause I think you're wrong, you're as wrong as you can be. I admit that I hadn't considered it, hadn't even thought about it, but I know exactly how he feels about her and there is nothing, absolutely nothing that you son feels for my daughter that I didn't feel for Christina. Old- yes. Burned-out- certainly, but I can tell you the memories are still there- clear, intact, indestructible, and they'll be there if I live to be 110. Where John made his mistake I think was in attaching so much importance to what her mother and I might think... because in the final analysis it doesn't matter a damn what we think. The only thing that matters is what they feel, and how much they feel, for each other. And if it's half of what we felt- that's everything. As for you two and the problems you're going to have, they seem almost unimaginable, but you'll have no problem with me, and I think when Christina and I and your mother have some time to work on him you'll have no problem with your father, John. But you do know, I'm sure you know, what you're up against. There'll be 100 million people right here in this country who will be shocked and offended and appalled and the two of you will just have to ride that out, maybe every day for the rest of your lives. You could try to ignore those people, or you could feel sorry for them and for their prejudice and their bigotry and their blind hatred and stupid fears, but where necessary you'll just have to cling tight to each other and say "screw all those people"! Anybody could make a case, a hell of a good case, against your getting married. The arguments are so obvious that nobody has to make them. But you're two wonderful people who happened to fall in love and happened to have a pigmentation problem, and I think that now, no matter what kind of a case some bastard could make against your getting married, there would be only one thing worse, and that would be if - knowing what you two are and knowing what you two have and knowing what you two feel- you didn't get married. Well, Tillie, when the hell are we gonna get some dinner?

    • John: After all, a lot of people are going to think we are a shocking pair.
