Why/How Did The Movie 'Save The Last Dance (2001)' Become So Successful?

[SheWantTheD]

One of the main plots in the movie was an interracial romance between a white girl (who moved to the ghetto) and a black guy.

I was 8 when the movie came out but they played it hundreds of times on basic cable television.

The movie to my knowledge did extremely well and won several awards.

I know we had social justice warriors back then. How come black feminists didn't boycott the movie back then? Did they?

Personally, I loved the movie growing up. And I saw it multiple times on tv.

Julia Stiles looks like Heath Ledger's little brother They couldn't have gotten a badder becky. Was Ali Larter booked that summer? That hoe done had like 4 or 5 interracial roles.

I thought the movie was okay. However, I thought her dancing was terrible, I always wondered why they couldn't get a real dancer to play the part.

I think her being a bit above average was a perfect fit for her kind of character.

If she was the pretty white girl then I think it would have changed things.

It wasn't what she looked like or the fact that she was white was what was important, but her character and the type of person she was.
