White Dog
22 August 2018: Months and months ago, Amy told me about this movie she remembered with Kristy McNichol about a racist dog who attacks black people. I thought it sounded like something she made up, but it's real: White Dog, from 1982. So I bought it for her as part of her birthday present. We finally got around to watching it tonight. What a strange movie! At times we laughed at its absurdity (especially the dialogue and rapid plot development), but it was also really tense, sad, and I think actually kind of smart in its commentary on race and racism. Go figure.
