Perfect World, A (1995)

   The hero is Kevin Costner, ostensibly driven to petty crime because
   of his abusive father and neglectful mother.  After his escape from
   prison he takes a young boy hostage and tries to be the father he
   never had. In one pornographic scene, KKKostner terrorizes a Black
   family because the father slaps his son. How many do we have to sit
   though long close-ups of a Black man's eyes before he is lynched? And
   then, why is it always another white person who saves the day? Why is
   NOT killing a Black man viewed as such an act of kindness and good
   character? The film pretends to grapple with the contradictions of
   the so-called justice system, but ends up painting the problems as
   a matter of personnel and not structures.
