Question

In the film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, I strongly felt like John and Joanna’s parents were kind of teaming up against the two of them. I know they were all initially shocked because they had never encountered their child doing something so not standard for this time period. Their mothers were a lot more understanding and saw how the two of them felt for each other, whereas their fathers were very strongly opposed to them being married, and worried about how they would be looked at by outsiders. Regardless of the route they decided to take, which I think they did end up being together, they would’ve been heavily criticized, but this was a huge shift in history, where being married to an opposite race was starting to become more acceptable.
