He was great as Scott/Cyclops in the X-men films, but who knew he could sing and dance like that? I loved him!!! … Expand I knew quite a few Ambers in my high school days myself. the bus strike of Alabama, the march on Washington, happened. I actually found the portrayal of the Amber and Velma characters very realistic and not at all racist, as that's exactly how some white people were in 1961, that's how they behaved that those were the beliefs they held, which is why the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King, Jr. That's what this movie was really about, the birth of the civil rights movement. White people wouldn't let black people mingle with white people, sit at the same lunch counters or drink from the same drinking fountains or use the same bathrooms and in places like Baltimore, this kind of treatment didn't end until the civil rights movement in the middle 60s. And as far as the allegation that this movie racist against whites, I'd say please stop sleeping in history class like Tracy!! This is actually the way it was in the early 60s. It's a shame uptight men insecure with their sexuality can't appreciate the fun and brilliance of Travolta's performance and of this movie. His role was an easy one to over or underplay, but he got it just right. I'm officially predicting John Travolta will take home the Golden Globe and probably even get an Oscar nod for his amazing performance. It's a shame This is the best movie I've seen this year so far. ![]() This is the best movie I've seen this year so far. ![]()
