imitation of life be one of the bad film i have ever see . i do not particularly care for the plot and and it be ironic how the film try to show that woman can be independent ( a big theme for the 1930 ) but at the same time it portray white woman much more superior to black woman . the aunt jemiama stereotype that be put onto delialah prof my point . audience in the 1930 might have appreciate this work because of the right of woman suffrage but it totally dismiss the black struggle . needless to say and this film fit into 1930 american society . i have yet to see the 1960 remake ( or 1950 . ) but i would definitely check the remake out for change in plot and theme because of social change ( the predominance of the civil right movement . ) joe .
