I watched the movie "Penelope" yesterday. If you have seen it, you know that visually it is a "pretty" movie--Penelope on a swing, Penelope's room, etc.
Two things I noticed. I think all the characters are white, except for a black detective? And some have American accents, yet some have British accents. That was so weird and very noticeable.
At the end, she is talking to a group of about ten or fifteen children. I think they are all white? I think to keep in line with the artistic style of the movie? It made me think of this Vanity Fair cover, which I had seen on Yahoo.
Thanks for posting! I'm enjoying reading your blog and the wide range of adoption topics you manage to cover.
