| Comments | Complex and mature themes in a prejudicial society and era that dealt with love, forgiveness, unlikely friendships, prejudicial society, music, sacrifice, loneliness, denial, standing for what is right, growth through introspection, segregation and a racist ideology. The themes dealt with, especially the prejudicial themes based on race might cause children younger than 13 who are not mature enough to understand them might get morally and psychologically threatened by it, even though is it an educational true biographical story told in a positive manner. |
