A movie can create positive and negative reactions from their viewers and most of the time the positive comments standout more than the negative comments. “Dear White People” a movie that is directed towards race is the first movie Justin Simien wrote, directed and co-produced. The movie gives those whose voices that are “often neglected with regards to the topics related to ethnicity” (Anonymous) something to state their opinion on.
