Pitch Black Film Analysis

Another idea from Ángela Bernardo (March 10, 2016) is that color technology such as Technicolor has transformed the movie industry and the way Hollywood creates films.

During the setting of the book, many people looked at white Americans to be superior to the Black, African American race. With this being said, the successful white families hired in the African American women to cook, clean, and in most cases, take care of the children. They were known as the help.
