Washington played in the movie “Antoine Fuqua's 2001 Training Day”. In this movie Training day, he was portrayed as a dark character. For example he was considered as a brutal African decent cop that was so horrible that he needed to be dead. Because he was trying to make money. This is a very interesting description. He never reflects on his actions without the emotion of guilt of what he has done. Bogle further explained him as a perversion of the law. Which I have never heard of this kind of statement before. Bogle even explained that Alonzo could have traits of the old buck but it was more than that explained by Bogle. What ever other details there are outside the book seems like this movie was pretty bad. 

 

The Controversy with Halle Berry is in the Monster’s Ball’s, she played as a sexualized character. But that’s only part of the focus. African decent woman were raped during the slave era. And now she’s asking a white man to come entertain her, as she gives him permission to do so. And later they live together. This is a very interesting story of events, in which is considered different to me while bogle is considering the history. Which makes the view quite more interesting.

Good responses, but it doesn't appear you have seen these movies. I highly recommend both of them. When you write a response based only on Bogle's description, you are limited.
