super 8 (2011)

Set in 1979, the film Super 8 can be read as an allegory of the American civil rights movement.  The allegory is caught up in the web of a small time psychological drama. I am concerned at the way film  offers grief and anger at slavery and racism as a subset of internal psychological issues.
