Around christmas time, many people like to get together with their respective families to watch a picture show, or two, so that got me thinking, what do people of different races watch around christmas time.
So, without further adieu, here is a list of movies that people like to watch:
The Blacks love a lot of different movies, movies with people of color in them. For instance, the blacks love to watch Tyler Perry movies around christmas as they take place in Atlanta, home of the blacks, and Madea reminds a lot of blacks of a great aunt. Some honorable mentions go to 8 mile, because it is filmed in the motherland of the blacks - Detroit, Double Take, because of the mention of malt liquor, The Wash, because it has Snoop Dogg in it, and Malibu's Most Wanted, because the main character thinks he's black.
The Mexicans like to watch movies where there is a lot of payyon, mexican people, and/or musica. The most notable movie popular with the mexicans is La Bamba. Ritchie Valens sings about amor and payyon, and it takes place in the San Fernando Valley, home to a lot of the mexicans. The movie also addresses topics like fear of flying, and illegitamate children. Some honorable mentions go to The Legend of Zorro, another movie with some latin payyon, Stand and Deliver, because most of the characters alternate between english and spanish, and 187, because of the high mexican to non mexican ratio.
The orientals like to watch movies with kung fu and karate. The most popular movie for the orientals to watch during the holidays is Mulan, as it is the most accurate depiction of a family from China, as it does contain a gong. Plus, the characters in Mulan look chinese. Honorable mentions go to any movie with Jet Li, Jackie Chan, or Chow Yun Fat, as well as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, because of the little oriental boy - Short Round, and Lethal Weapon 4, with Little Ping.
The whites like to watch movies with political correctness in them, movies where homosexuality is considered cool, and diseases like the GC and the chemo are talked about openly. Brokeback Mountain is the most popular movie for the whites to watch when they are together as a family, plus they can mourn Heath Ledger and talk about what a great father he was and how much he loved is daughter. Honorable mentions go to Philadelphia, because of the GC, and The Family Stone, because the mom got the BC (Breast Chemo) and died. I wonder if the dad from the family stone got the chemo for doing mom.
This is a pretty inclusive list, so I suggest you pop some popcorn, open up a 40 dogg and watch a way. Merry Christmas!
