My favorite comedy- Guess Who

  My favorite comedy movie is “Guess Who”. It was produced in 2005. This movie is about a black girl Theresa brought her new boyfriend Simon Green home for her parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. Theresa didn’t mention that Simon is white, so at first when they arrived at Theresa’s home, Theresa’s father Percy Jones thought the black taxi driver was Theresa’s boyfriend and he even told Simon just putted the baggage in front of the door. After explanation, Percy Jones didn’t like Simon so he did everything he could to make Simon felt “apart” of the family.

  I remember there was a humorous scene that Percy didn’t want Simon to slept in their house so he drove Simon to the hotel. When they were in the car, Percy turned on the radio. It was playing the song “Brother Louie” and its lyrics were “She was black as the night, Louie was whiter than white…” so Percy turned off the radio immediately. After went through many things, Percy changed his point of view. He realized that Simon really loved Theresa and he couldn’t be so selfish, so he accepted Simon finally.

  This movie is injected some racial problems about western-culture. We also can see how much the father treasured the daughter. Every father hopes their daughter can marry someone well-matched, so Percy didn’t like Simon is generally normal. Simon is an important character in this movie; the movie must have a white man so the story can be continued. Actually, I think Simon was a victim in the movie because Percy didn’t like Simon so he did some things to make Theresa misunderstood Simon, therefore, Simon needed to do so many things to make Percy liked him and he also had to protect the relationship between him and Theresa. After saw this movie, I can feel that love is the touchstone of virtue.
