    1. The law has changed, but everyone's concept has not changed. 2. You think of yourself as a black person when you are born, and I think of yourself as a person, just like anyone else. 3. No matter how bullshit the law hinders you, there is only one thing that is worse, and that is that you yourself can't clearly know yourself. 4. Although the final happy eddding is more impractical, I hope it will always exist. 5. As a movie about racial issues, the perspective is very good, the actors and...

    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...

    The marriage of two people has to face two families. The male lead said to his father: Don’t impose your life on me, don’t try to use your rules to examine my life. When I want to pursue my inner happiness, I burst into tears. It's full of eyes. And the words of black mothers: Why do men become so ruthless when they are old, because you no longer need love, so you have forgotten your passion back...

    I always thought this was a very heavy movie. I didn’t expect the atmosphere to be so relaxed and life. The seemingly racially separated love surpassed the two themes of race and love. Indeed, what will happen in the future in our era. In this way, decisions are often made many years ago, and they are all ordinary decisions that can no longer be ordinary. Together, they have influenced history, and the current American society has confirmed the spirit of this...

    I found this movie by searching for racial issues, but the script and the actors are so good, although I watched the Chinese version, the relationship between parents and children, adults (the Phoenix actor who has a successful career and experienced the pain of losing his wife and child ) And the innocent middle-class lady (heroine) who is inexperienced in the world. Instead, the difference between black and white skin is not so obvious. The prospective father-in-law and the prospective...

    "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...

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner quotes

  • Joanna Drayton: He thinks you're gonna faint because he's a Negro.

    Christina Drayton: Well... I don't think I'm going to faint, but I'll sit down anyway.

  • Christina Drayton: [to her assistant, Hilary, in the driveway] Now I have some instructions for you. I want you to go straight back to the gallery - Start your motor - When you get to the gallery tell Jennifer that she will be looking after things temporarily, she's to give me a ring if there's anything she can't deal with herself. Then go into the office, and make out a check, for "cash," for the sum of $5,000. Then carefully, but carefully Hilary, remove absolutely everything that might subsequently remind me that you had ever been there, including that yellow thing with the blue bulbs which you have such an affection for. Then take the check, for $5,000, which I feel you deserve, and get - permanently - lost. It's not that I don't want to know you, Hilary - although I don't - it's just that I'm afraid we're not really the sort of people that you can afford to be associated with.

    [Hilary opens her mouth to say something]

    Christina Drayton: Don't speak, Hilary, just... go.
