![]() We are never isolated (even if we might feel that way) - the moment we start to exist, everything influences us and we influence everything - even after death. Even being passive has an effect on the world, one way or another. Everything is just about actio and reactio what we encounter along the way always impacts us, sometimes more, sometimes less. Life itself, as we experience it, is so complex due to the multitude of options and uncertainties (which we can anticipate but almost never predict). We have very little control, mostly limited to our immediate surroundings and it can be easily disturbed by things other people do/say or by developments we didn't expect because we went down another path today, left instead of right, etc. Perhaps the same thing can be said about whites as well. In first generation immigrant/migrant cultures, there is a lot of pressure from parents in certain ethnic cultures (Indian, Chinese, Arab) to not allow their offspring to marry outside the culture. You see a large ethic groups living together in very large modern metropolitan cities but some of these ethnic groups keep and maintain their invisible borders to their own culture and don't allow the new younger forwardly mobile generation to break away from their roots. ![]() The film actually made me think about mix race marriages in large urban metropolitan cities. It could also be interpreted as class division based on race and ethnicity. That could be interpreted as class division based on income and status. I thought the deeper layer to the film was that people don't so easily break out of their class and roots. The Adams character attempted a weak rebellion at her roots but failed because she just wasn't strong enough and ultimately turn into a rich high class bitch - just like her mother. The mother character represents roots and the borders between social classes. I sort of saw more to the story because of the inclusion of the mother character.
