How has 'race' been constructed in each film watched so far...

Sapphire:
'Race' has been seen as a very divided theme in the film, the colour of someone's skin seems to make a massive impact on the way people are treated throughout. The insults given against black people in the film includes: 
'Nice enough girl considering she was coloured'
'I'm full..I only take white students'
'Don't call her aunty! She was nothing to us and never was'
... these quotes show how the race of someone seemed to make them less important and in fact allowing people to be ashamed if they was associated with a black poster. 


'Race' is seen in the film as the main theme that separates people in a negative way, the mix between 'race' seems to confuse people and makes them feel uncomfortable. 


Flame in the streets: 
'Race' was affected in this film as people were again divided due to their different multi cultural race. For example, a white woman pregnant with a black man's baby was frowned upon in the storyline. The representation of the different races having a change in living conditions was also very clear in the film. White people were all shown living in a house environment - all warm colours were used when shot in a white person's home. Whereas, when the scenes moved to where the black people lived, they were presented in living in a more dirty, small condition - flats and dirty environments, using the connotation of them being poor.
