"I read the book, and it never mentioned that she was of a white race. You almost assumed she was white."
I seem to remember a reference in the book that Jean's ancestors were coal miners in Cornwall - or something like that - giving the impression of a caucasian background. But as you said, ethnicity wasn't an important factor in the character and I think she did a fine job.
Ebert and Roeper just reviewed the film again (for the 3rd time on thier show) it was Roeper's Video Pick of the Week and Ebert made the comment that "sadly Jennifer Lopez gives some of her best performances in movies that most people don't see." -

have you ever thought that maybe its the roles that she is trying out for. i seriously doubt all the hollywood types are making these movies simply to perpetuate some "social structure". hollywood is about making money, nothing more, nothing less. that entails getting the best talent you can at a certain price. if anyone is to blame then it is JLo for taking the parts. maybe she is the one trying to make a statement, not hollywood.

Is J-lo a Mestizo? If she is then Redford could have been her dad b/c he is of white euro decent and the mom could've been amerindian. However, morgan freeman playing her mom, thata a wasa a joke.
Hail to the King, baby.

Oh I get it now..the guy that wrote the screenplay lives in your town in Wyoming, and whatever else you said.it's so clear!
Nice vanity post, angel. "Hey look, I live in the butthole of the west, but there's guy here that wrote a movie!" Wow. Congratulations. You should be proud of having absolutely no connection with anything impressive, except geography. -

This film is so overrated.
The plot has been done in movies at least 100 times.
Bo-ring.
The only thing it does establish is that RR is a great actor and
MF is an amazing supporting actor who is not afraid of being that
(Million Dollar Baby, Shawshank Redemption, Levity, so many others).
Hats off to both of them.
