[quote=Anonymous]I found the movie had multiple elements of “passing”. I saw not only passing for race but also sexuality and even elitism. I read somewhere they actresses were chosen to challenge our believability. Whereas it was obvious to many — the larger issue is that this happened in real life and so many people were fooled when it should have been obvious. I have seen many a friend or two pass for “non American” when they turn on their second or third language they learned in high school. I also witnessed( as I’m sure you have) plenty of men passing for straight - another theme that was barely touched on in this movie. It was great. It frustrated me because I thought Tessa would get caught on plenty of occasions. I also hated that in her accepted of black race she also denied - watch the clip with her boys when she doesn’t want to address lynchings. Oh oh and her husband calling her dark — I wanted to fall out my chair. Great movie!! [/quote]
