blind truth movie

In the movie, Blind Faith, a black boy, Charlie Jr, is accused of strangling to death a white Irish boy and gets caught up in the legal system of the pre-civil rights era. John Williams, Charlie’s uncle is a lawyer who takes a leap of Blind Faith on Charlie’s case. Uncle John took Charlie’s case not just knowing the odds against them, given the circumstances of racism during this time, but knowing Charlie had already given a signed confession to the police department. Uncle John insists that his nephew is not a murderer. Uncle John has given blind faith in Charlie. Uncle John knew he was a sweet boy who got good grades and had never been in trouble before, so how could it be possible that this is true? Charlie Jr’s father, Charlie Sr. is a cop, a cop with potential to be the first black sergeant in all of New York. Charlie Sr. and his wife seem to be devastated over what has happened and wanted only but the best lawyer for their son. But because of the racism not any other lawyer besides Uncle John would pursue Charlie’s case and Uncle John promised that Charlie would not get the death penalty and that he would not die. I feel that in the beginning of the movie Charlie Sr. and his wife took a leap of blind faith in John Williams regardless of the fact that Uncle John was an aspiring real estate lawyer and wanted nothing to do with criminal law. As I was saying before the 1950s was a time of pre-civil rights. Which means there was still segregation in “black people” and “white people”. But what is failed to mention is that in the 1950s, also, homosexuals were segregated. Actually, in the 1950s homosexuality was considered a disease, not like who it is accepted today, as it is not a disease but a freedom of choice. Charlie was a black boy, but he was a homosexual black boy, who did not want to tarnish his family name, for his fathers chance of being “one of them” would non-existent. I believe that Charlie Jr. also took a leap of blind faith. Blind Faith is
