I’ve never heard of your #2 and though it’s not a “black” movie, a lot of black folks own/love “Scarface”.
~~~~~~~~~~
Whaaaaat? You never heard of Imitation of Life?
OK, Picture it! Cicily, 1952…. (LOL)
Anyway, it’s about this overweight black lady who met this white lady on a beach, the white lady thought the black lady was the made for the little white girl she was with on the beach, they started talking and it turns out, the black lady was actually the little girls mother. (Shocker for that time period).
The white lady ended up becoming a famous actress and her and the black lady became friends and she moved into her mansion and the children became really good friends.
The mixed girl started to notice that she was “different” and told all her friends that it was HER house and that her mammy, was her NANNY and not her real mama, one time her mother came to the school and the teacher said, “We don’t have any colored girls” and she said, “there she is!” and the little girl got embarrassed because the kids were laughing.
Eventually, she grew up and started dating white men and was “passing” until her mother came to find her in NY once and got her fired because they didn’t know she was a black girl and her boyfriend beat her up and dumped her.
Her mother spent the rest of her years in that house with the white people taking care of her , she got sick because she couldn’t find her daughter who had run off again and she died and the daughter came back and ran up and threw herself on the casket at the funeral as they were wheeling her away by horse and carriage. (that was the ONE moment she was black the entire film!) LMAO!!!
