Black and Blue

Black and Blue was a realistic and well executed movie. The actors all portrayed their characters beautifully. The movie depicted both Robert's perspective as well as his mother's truthfully. I could feel Robert's inner conflict, loving his father yet on the other hand despising him for beating his mother. Wanting to protect his mother from his father, yet not wanting to leave the comforts of home. Although this movie is realistic, I think Frannie was lucky to meet so many nice people in Florida, while under the witness protection. I enjoyed this movie because it depicted real life and Frannie was able to surmount her obstacles. The only part that was unclear was what happened to Robert, and why it took him so long to realize that his father wasn't perfect.
