minerfromtarn:insanity-keeps-things-fun:closet-keys:stream:Men in Black (1997) dir. Barry SonnenfeldI use this scene to explain implicit bias to people. his first instinct is to assume the aliens are violent and the girl is innocent, but instead of acting on those assumptions he takes time to recognize his bias, look at the situation again, and then act. I watched this with my dad when I was fairly young, and I remember thinking that this was why he got chosen; before he even really knew what was going on, he didn’t assume that aliens were dangerous monsters.What really sucks that it got cut, but was thankfully left in the novelization, is that it was supposed to reveal that Jay was fully right about this and that Tiffany was an evil alien in disguise. -- source link
