    I have been looking for this movie for the longest time. I had this movie on my mind for a min and after Louis Gosset Jr. passed I definitely had to watch this again. Been binge watching all Gosset Jr. Movies all day. R. I. P. Mr. Gosset. God bless. 😢. Thank you for providing this movie on RUclips. 👍

      They want to bury this movie because it shows a “Highly Intelligent and Competent “ Black man saving a White man who still (If you see the ending) doesn’t want to believe he’s that good.

    I don't know? I think I now have more questions than answers. Good movie, it makes you stop to think. How much it too much. And I know, "It is easy to disregard sin, until it directly effects you." Also, If you make an example of one, others tend to shape up quickly. Kind of like the next to the last scene. Unfortunately in our society, we are in the 'wrong' when we take a stand against bad behavior. It has some levels to it that would make for a great discussion.

  • @Woodman-Spare-that-tree

    The security guard would have employees, wouldn’t he? He can’t guard any building 24/7 on his own, and he can’t guard more than one building on his own.
    EDIT. Also, you don’t give cows’ milk to cats. Cats are lactose intolerant.
    Also, when the guard is told about the r@pe he says “She’s going to be alright isnt she?” That dates it! Nowadays it is accepted that nobody is “alright” mentally afterwards and, indeed, it is too early to tell about physical harm because she could have been given a STI.

    • @SamWesting
      @SamWesting Год назад +3

      Geez! You’re reading way too much into this. John Mack’s first concern was that Fran (the victim) was not killed or had a life threatening injury. Later on, there’s a scene where he’s escorting Fran to her apt. from the laundry room, where she thanks him b/c she still feels traumatized & John tells her he’ll keep doing it for as long as need be. So there is awareness about the mental/emotional scars rape victims have.

      No, they hired A guard, one and really more of an advisor. He stated early on he would only be there sometimes and really only for the first little while.. His main duty was make the building less vulnerable to entry from those that didn't belong there.
      Cats have been drinking cows milk for many hundreds if not many thousands of years.
      Obviously alright meant her physical state as in she was still alive.How could you have taken that any other way ?

If there are cameras on the front and only one tenant on the ground floor who doesn't secure his window then chances are they would get burgled.
