InterRacial Love Films isn\'t a race but feel great when you\'re

(2024-08-31 21:56:14) 下一個

“I love her with every breath I breathe.”"Where Hands Touch" (2018)** is a historical drama film directed by Amma Asante. The story is set in Nazi Germany during World War II and focuses on the experiences of a young biracial girl, Leyna, navigating a world of extreme racism and persecution.

 
### **Plot Summary:**
 
- **Leyna's Background:** Leyna (played by Amandla Stenberg) is a 16-year-old girl of mixed race, born to a white German mother (played by Abbie Cornish) and a Black African father. Because of her mixed heritage, Leyna faces systemic racism in Nazi Germany, where the Nazi ideology considers her an outcast and a threat to racial purity.
 
- **Life Under Nazi Rule:** Leyna's mother tries to protect her by moving to Berlin, where they hope to blend in and avoid the attention of the Nazi regime. However, the racial laws and the constant threat of persecution make life incredibly difficult for them.
 
- **Romantic Relationship:** Amidst the oppression, Leyna meets and falls in love with Lutz (played by George MacKay), a member of the Hitler Youth. Lutz is the son of a high-ranking SS officer, and his feelings for Leyna conflict with the racist ideology he’s been taught to uphold. Their relationship becomes a source of tension and danger as they navigate their love in a society that condemns it.
 
- **Struggle for Survival:** As the war progresses, Leyna and Lutz's relationship becomes increasingly perilous. Leyna faces the threat of being sent to a concentration camp, and Lutz is torn between his love for her and his duties as a member of the Nazi military machine.
 
- **Themes:** The film explores themes of love, identity, and survival under a brutal regime. It delves into the complexities of race, the horrors of the Holocaust, and the difficult choices people had to make during this dark period in history.
 
**"Where Hands Touch"** portrays a powerful and heartbreaking story of forbidden love and the struggle for humanity in the face of overwhelming hatred and prejudice.

22. Strange Days - Angela Bassett and Ralph Fiennes. Strange Days is so underrated!  I'd love to see a prequel film of Lenny and Mace's relationship evolving while he was still a cop and she was just getting her life together.  That kisd at the end made my draws ignite . Ralph Fiennes was so hot and my girl Angela Bassett was incredible as always.

21. Liberty Heights

20  Zebrahead, 

19. A Patch of Blue 

18.  Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, which received Oscar recognition for best actress and script, did not make it on this list? It was groundbreaking and beautifully made.

17.  My Last Day Without You with Nichole Beharie. I loved her in this and the show Sleepy Hollow. I also love Corina, Corina with Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta. Belle and Loving are my two favorites on the list.

16. Dance With Me with Vanessa Williams and Cheyenne always leave me dancing and singing

15. Loving, based on the true story of a couple who tried to have their marriage accepted by the courts of the south. Brilliant movie & very emotional

14. Something New

13. A Bronx Tale: featured a great interracial love story as part of its overall narrative.
12. Palm trees, Palm Trees in the Snow

11. The Bodyguard (Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston)

9. Jungle Fever (1991): https://amzn.to/3bzJdii (01:29) by Spike Lee, is not a Love story. It’s a Lust story. Flipper goes back to his wife.

I disagree with Jungle Fever being on this list in general. I don't see that as a great interracial love story. Not downplaying Spike Lee or anything, but the story is about the curiosity of the opposite ethnic group.

That's one of the biggest conflicts/issues with interracial dating. It’s not always going to be about romance/love but explores parts of interracial dating that make one or both question why the other is with them as well as inner struggles with loving someone who may potentially hate their people. I have a cousin who married a Dominican, has two children with him, and her sister told me he’s made racist comments towards black people.

It really is more complex than a romantic lovey-kiss thingy. That curiousity, exotism, otherness, and even racism are inevitably part of inter"racial", interethnic, and love relations. It can be very different, from which ethnic group is the male and the female partner. Does one of them belong to the dominant ethnic group that is in power? I have a black father, white mother. Our roots are very diverse (African, Chinese, Native American, Jewish, European). Since 18th century, every ancestral generation in my family has, till now, had several interracial couples. Take into account differences between couples of a white man and a black woman versus a black man and a white woman.

The last one is still confronting taboos dating from the era of Atlantic slavery in the Americas. Difference is in the relation itself, as well as in reactions of the outside world and society.

My father was refused twice as a fiancee/husband simply for being black. My (white) mother was different, she was an orphan already when they met, made her own money as a nurse, and was free to follow her heart, and her curiosity. My father brought her a new world, due to his multi-ethnic background, taking her to his country of origin. Not many white men could have offered her what he has given her.

Inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, this powerful film stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the mixed-race daughter of a British Navy officer raised by her wealthy great-uncle (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson). Although racism prevents her from enjoying the full advantages of her upbringing, Belle's love for an idealistic young man sparks change that may impact generations to come.

John removing his hat from his head while saying to Belle, "I pray that he will marry you without a penny to your name, for that is a man who will truly treasure you," was one of the greatest signs of respect!! You don't see that often in today's society!! I just had to comment on that part. I remember that happening to me once in 2021, this white army officer I became friends with on an army base saw me coming down the sidewalk to go to work and he was leaving going home and upon him approaching me, he stopped removed his hat from his head and said, hi my friend and we stopped and chatted for a moment, but that simple act left me truly in awe when he did that. To this day I will never forget how special and respected he made me feel.

Top 10 Interracial Romance Movies of All Time 

 

My wife and I are an interracial couple, we have been together since 1988, we married in 1990. I love romantic films, my wife prefers action films. I especially like films like the type in this list, because it reminds me of some of the obstacles we faced and are still facing. I've not seen Palm Trees. My two favourites on the list are the totally brilliant Loving, and Something New.
 
 
 
In my opinion, I think it’s beautiful to fall in love, regardless of race, religion, etc. I personally know of an African man and an Indian woman, who have been married for 38 years and the marriage is still strong to this day !!! I also find it interesting to be in such a relationship; it’s fascinating , interesting, and exciting to learn of each other’s culture. 
 
As a black man with an interracial daughter, I'm thankful to the people who put this together. Being raised as a Christian in two different households as my parents had split up before I was born, I was raised on the eastern shore of Maryland where to this day you can still find homes from the 1800s that have secret rooms that were used to hide runaway slaves,
 
both my parents raised me to view all humans as children of God and as such equal to each other in his eyes so I never growing up viewing interracial relationships as anything but normal
 
but as with most things the older you get the more you see the realities of the world so as I got older I began viewing interracial relationship as special in the sense that if two people were willing to endure the abuse from their neighbors and in a lot of cases their own families to be together then their love for each other was something to be envied and something to look for in my own life.
 
I felt that way over the years up until 2008-9 when after Prez Obama was elected and ad agencies started producing more ads with interracial couples when I saw the backlash that was created by a small but vocal segment of America that was egged on by politicians trying to get their vote who didn't care about the environment they were creating that led to the 2016 election where the former occupant of the White House who through his words and actions gave those people permission to be who they really are in the open without having to care about the consequences of their actions
 
and then the murder of George Floyd that led to my daughter fearing for my life and by extension hers because of the things being said to try to justify the cop killing him.
 
So seeing this video knowing that there will be a lot of people who will either say what's the big deal and question why it was even made, and/or racist who will say nasty things in the comments. So seeing so many people in the comments who also see or are in these relationships as normal and not something that should be looked down on or attacked does give me hope for the future.

 

 

 
I find yours, an interesting point of view. I think a lot of our point of views are based on where we live and the mores And behaviors of those communities. And not all black communities across this country have the same point of view or same behaviors. The state of Maryland is very different from the state of California.
 
In 1964, I married A person who was not black in New York City. He had to go there for business and it was going to be away at Christmas, So we decided that we would elope. A little later than this in 1967, there was The Lovings Case In Virginia.
 
A white man and a black woman were dating and decided to get married and were told that they could not live together in Virginia as a married couple. That is the case that went to the Supreme Court and that removed the Miscegenation Law that said People from different races could not marry in America.
 
But these laws were state laws rather than a federal law. I could marry my husband two years earlier in either California or New York and probably some other states but we didn’t live in those states. Experience in an interracial marriage, Was different from the gentleman who posted his excellent response.
 
In California, I lived in a diverse neighborhood and never got any racial response with regard to our marriage. He was a professional man and I worked for a newspaper, so we never had any problems. My experience is that both white and black folks are tough on interracial marriages.
 
Black men don’t want to see a black woman with a white man. And white people can’t understand why white men would want to date a black woman or marry her when there are white women around.
 
This was a long time ago all of that is out the window these days people marry, who they want to marry, and nobody gives a damn. I must say, though in the last, maybe 10 years ago, Many black women had never even considered dating a white man or anybody else other than black men. And I found that surprising, And I don’t know why.
 
Because I find all kinds of men attractive, It doesn’t mean they find me attractive, but in my youth, I found a lot of people attractive. And if someone asked me on a date,, I might go depending on the person and how like them. Black folks still suffer from the trauma of being enslaved. And I didn’t want to correct the gentleman and that Africans who came to this country and a ship and we bought we’re never slaves, they were enslaved by the people who bought them. So we do not call Black people slaves we call them “enslaved”.
 
I had an old friend and she said you know, black folks need to know that they are down from KINGS, not up from SLAVES! She was talking about our status in the world today. Each person has to find their own way in this situation, you can find a really decent people in any Ethnicity or nationality there is only one race and that’s the human race.
 
The idea of race was created by those who enslaved Africans. They had to find a way to tell the world that those with white skin were better than those with black skin..
 
So they created A white race. It’s interesting. You will know if you ever watch a tennis match., They designate the players based on their country. The Americans are playing the Australian, or the Canadiens are playing the British . and that’s how the world used to look at any group of people based on their nationality. Which, in case we would be Americans, Not black Americans, but Americans. Marry Who you love?!
