Brother's Keeper

What I thought was the most interesting thing about Brother's Keeper was that the neighbors who wanted nothing to do with this family because they were so bizarre, strange, dirty, and illiterate, supported them once Delbert was charged with his brother's murder. It wasn't even that they stood by his side because of the fact that they thought he was innocent. I think it was more that they felt he was one of their own. He was a part of their community and that was what made them provide a support system for Delbert and his brothers. They lived a strange lifestyle and their house was a complete mess. They would all sleep together in the winter and speaking to them was like speaking to a 5 yer old. This movie really shows how media can turn stories and manipulate people to benefit themselves. Delbert, who can't read well, wasn't even sure what he was signing which turned out to be a confession. The police seemed to have switched their words and in a way convince him to sign it. This just shows the world we live in today, so eager to convict people. The learning experience examines the role of a person's environment and examines how it affects a person. This movie shows that before Delbert's conviction, the neighbors viewed him as dirty and weird so in the movie he was portrayed as dirty and weird. When they became a supporting environment and viewed him as a passionate man, he seemed to have turned into a passionate man.
