| | + | |When this movie was released in 1988, it was most likely not only considered liberal but praised by liberals. As it had feminist themes (even with a male protagonist), going against tradition, and was about foreigners from an African country. However as liberals moved more and more to the left, they had abandoned ideas in this movie that are considered conservative today. Such an individualism and family, not to mention it is debatable if it supports the American Dream as the proagonist, came to America to look for love. |
