"I'll be here all day nigger"...

Before you decide to lynch me, I should tell you that it's not my words!
Martin and I, went to see a movie today, called Gridiron gang - It's a movie about how somebody starts an American football team in a juvenile detention center and how it affects the "kids". It's based on the well known recipe of other feel-good movies where it makes you root for the "good" guys and runs you through all your emotions all the while throwing a good selection of punchlines at you.
This is not a movie-review site, so the thing that was really interesting today was seeing and hearing how American people react in the theater/cinema compared to people in Europe. Many times during the film people where clapping - Not in a big way, but often you could here people clapping around you, whenever the "heroes" of the film did something good(which in this movie often would involve somebody being tackled hard, along with some effective soundeffects which resembles a car hitting a wall or something along those lines) - It never really bothered me in any way, it was just fun to see how people react and gets excited by the movie compared to people in Denmark. In Denmark people usually don't clap during a movie - It's rare for a thing like that to happen, but here it actually put a smile on my face.

Another thing which put a huge smile on my face and made me laugh is related to the title of this post. Somewhere towards the end of the movie, a player for the opposing team, after tackling a player hard, says "I'll be here all day nigger" - Instantly the whole theater took a deep breath and said "uuhh!". It's not only interesting because a reaction like that don't happen in Denmark, but also because it says something about how many colored people live in New York, but also how people feel about their "heroes" when watching a movie - The really funny thing where how people really started clapping when the black guy in the movie(Ie. the hero) said "I'll be right back" and moments later tackled the guy with the force of a locomotive.

Just an interesting observation from Danish guy in New York:)
