Discrimination In The Movie

Discrimination is at the core of the film, but I also think that movie shows how one can go through the process of seeing a person as part of an out-group but can go through a process of removing them from that category and bring them into the in-group. Denzel Washington’s character Joe Miller evolves throughout the movie, from someone who does not understand much about AIDS and homosexuals, he is therefore very vocal about that he wants nothing to do with them. In the beginning of the movie, Miller views Beckett as the disease and something that he should further distance himself from. However, his character goes through a change when he starts to connect with Beckett and begins to see him as a human and the struggle that he is faced with.
