The flashback narrative structure reflects simplistic notions that psychoanalysis can cure enormous ills: if only Edwards can remember exactly what happened the night his legs stopped working, he will surely be well. Setting this dramatically dubious convention aside, Edwards&#8217; challenges come across as all too realistic, aptly demonstrating the insidiousness of what it&#8217;s like to endure chronic racism, both blunt and subtle, on a daily basis. The main problem with Edwards&#8217; travails is that they are presented as simply Edwards&#8217; own deeply internalized <em>belief<\/em> in what he&#8217;s been told for years &#8212; that he&#8217;s inherently lesser than whites on every level. Bridges tries to convince Edwards to move past this toxic brainwashing, but slips up himself at one point, almost using a derogatory term and demonstrating that racist sentiments really are just a tongue slip away. As noted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/78257\/home-of-the-brave#articles-reviews?articleId=133215\">Donald Bogle&#8217;s <em>Blacks in American Films and Television: An Illustrated Encyclopedia<\/em> (1989)<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230; there is a tinge of patronage because it is the white man offering his hand to the black man.
