Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

amazing scene with miss Katharine Hepburn, where she fires her co-worker.

It doesn't have the same impact in this times but still this movie have a interesting story and some nice dialogues. It's very well argumented and every character stands for his ground. I liked so much the actors, very good choices especially Spencer Tracy and Sidney Poitier.

"He thinks you're gonna faint because he's a negro". Exceptional magnificent film. Beautiful, elegant, intelligent, articulate, dignified. A perfect study of the three unities of drama: action; place; and time. One of the GREATS. The sophistication of the monologues given to these characters and the way they challenge are ahead of their time and we still haven't caught up.

It's a great and important film but what I didn't like about it is that they've just met and yes, she is white and he is black but there is also an age gap of 14 years and no one really suggests something sensible like: ''You've just met. Why don't you wait a little longer and get to know each other?'' (Of course they then could have argued that they know they're truly love and still got married).

Time-capsuled racial profiling; an insight into 1960’s American views on the place of the African-American in US class structure, and Kramer’s most famous and enduring film. Despite its old-fashioned liberal views and an at times contrived plot (i.e. decision time) plus a couple of other minor false moves, its distinctively Hollywood flavour ensure an effortless appeal. Good casting too.

I thought it was kind of bland. Other than the obvious issue, there was very little depth. However, there were some well-written scenes and I thought Portier was excellent. Watching this film in 2011, it's clear that it had much more clout in the social climate of the 60s. The tearful Hepburn brings more drama to the final scene than the plot and script ever could have. For that scene alone, it's worth seeing.

Not THAT dated, but it does have the feel of a 1930s film. Great acting all around with the possible exception of Katherine Houghton; I can't tell if her childlike optimism was a strength or if it was annoying. The script itself has problems; it points out the taboo too early and thus peaks too early so the rest of the movie feels repetitious and the plot device feels dumb. I did enjoy the random Beatles reference.

one of Get Out’s antecedents! unfortunately even more limp. entertaining from a view that appreciates Hollywood’s formal attributes in filmmaking, but wish we can develop an aesthetic and ethical orientation towards cinema that doesn’t devolve into an ‘art vs. artist as person’ debate and that seriously connects technique with content.
