Tibbs was a cop, and cops routinely place themselves in jeopardy to solve crimes in mystery films. The reason I think they are closer to equal is that Gillespe extends to Tibbs consideration that he has never given to a black man in his entire life. Never. IMO, unless you grasp how hard that was for him, how far he had to stretch, you miss…[Read more]

We strongly suggest NOT writing novels until you’ve sold 5-10 short stories. Much more efficient and effective in building skill and understanding of the business.

I go by either Chris or Christopher. I use Christopher so people might think twice about confusing me with the grunge singer, but I still get occasional fan mail. I live in Northern California and code by day, write fiction and create music by night. I’m currently shopping around my second novel (the first never quite made it past beta reader…[Read more]

On reflection the exchange approached equilibrium by the end. But I still feel no change would have taken place without extra effort by Tibbs.

I did my homework! This film was uncomfortable to watch in places but no doubt effective. We like to think we live in a more enlightened time, but it’s a good reminder of how grim things were just a few decades ago. (This year has reminded us they’re still pretty grim, but that’s another topic.)
For some reason the repeated use of the word “boy”…[Read more]
