A story about most interesting times told in a most uninteresting way.
The movie feels more like a political propaganda than anything else. Awfully primitive characters, boring lines full of tearful speeches and excessive use of voice-over just add to the effect. Characters are so simple and so wonderful, always smiling, clean and nice, so perfect in every way that it's almost a parody. There is hardly anything happening in the movie. No twists in the plot, no surprises. Characters are either good or bad, like in a child book. No room for dilemmas. Nothing to think about, no challenges for the viewer. Everything is obvious.
Racism is bad, patriotism is good - that's basically the entire movie. I'm not kidding, it's all.
It's as if the script was written by 12 years old idealistic American boy. It's not a movie, it's a commercial.
So, if you didn't know before that racism is bad and hate movies to make you think or give you hard problems to ponder about, then by all means watch "Proud".
In any other case stay away. It's a complete waste of time.
