The movie was historically correct, and portrayed the period well, in the aspect of race and racism. “Woodlawn” showed the history of Birmingham, Alabama as some of this day and age would portray the time.…

Tom however, is a stark contrast with this idyllic dream; in fact, he appears to have little invested in fulfilling his role. Daisy on the other hand, fits the mold of the wife, even extending herself into the role of the man as well.…
