This movie is about love, as sappy as it sounds.
It's a real story about a blended family were the child is unable to be cared for by the parents and the village has to step in. Black or White would work equally if everyone in the movie were black or white. But that's superficial for selling the movie to the audience. We live in a world were we can be so politically correct that it does nothing to actually solve the problem, but sweep it under the rug, and this movie is not about that. The movie seems to work as a vehicle to freely say the things that I think need to be said about race in this country. Kevin Costner plays Elliot Andersen, the grandfather of a Eloise Andersen who he's been raising with his wife since the day she was born, but when he's wife passes suddenly, her Grandma Rowena does not feel Elliot is capable of taken care of the child alone, epically when the death of his wife brings out what she considers his drinking problem, so she gets her little brother, a lawyer to take legal action.
Black or white, nobody's perfect and the movie does a good job portraying that.
