The movie Cora Unashamed was a very touching and heartwarming video. I would definitely recommend this movie because it shows how parents of that time tried to completely control their children's’ lives. They would do whatever it took to have a perfect child, just like Mrs. Studavant did with her daughter Jessie.
To Mrs. Studavant it didn’t matter what Jessie wanted: it was all about what Mrs. Studavant wanted for her daughter. Cora Unashamed also gave a different perspective of how life was for younger people during that time, in the early 1900s. Many people with high places in society would often shape their family into the family they thought was an ideal one because they were scared they might be embarrassed by something that would damage their reputation.
Although slavery was over, this movie showed how some African Americans were tied to working as servants in people’s houses because that was almost the only way they could make enough money to support their family.
One thing that really stood out to me was that the movie showed how love has no color or race. Cora fell in love with a white man and they had a baby. Although Willy was Greek, he and Jessie fell in love. It was Mrs. Studavant that came in between Willy and Jessie, not his ethnic background.
