Write a paper on imitation of life has to be Claudette Colbert 1934 film Imitation of Life. What scenes shocked you as being racist? What scenes did you think showed an improvement or awareness of racial inequalities that the director realizes need to be changed? For instance, after the party, even though they have just been talking men like best girlfriends, Delilah goes down the stairs and Bea goes upstairs to bed. It’s very visually striking in the film because the stairs are right next to each other. I think this is the director John Stahl tying to show us that this inequality is wrong. On the other hand, notice Delilah’s reaction when Peola runs home crying because Jessie called her “black.”
