This movie tackles racism from a very interesting point of view. Through a white dog. I didn't know what a white dog was until I saw this movie and after watching it I was affected greatly. It made me think that any hate or mentality ingrained in you when your young is hard to recondition, its just redirected. For example when the trainer is attacked at the end. They didn't "fix" the dog, they just redirected his hate towards someone new. This is why young minds are so fragile.
Another theme I liked in this movie is everyone is able to be corrupted. Look at Keys and the trainer for this. After the dog had killed someone in the church they convinced themselves that fixing the dog was the right thing to do. They even had a "celebration" after the man was killed, saying "You know Julie, we're doing the right by healing it, no one would understand this". I like this theme because you see it everyday. People get ahead of themselves and convince themselves and others that they're really doing "the right thing". For example tax breaks to wealthy.
Its a shame that a movies like this that tackle vital subjects through great metaphors would get banned. I enjoyed this movie a lot and if anyone has the chance to watch this I highly recommend it.
