misc

why is the movie called, 'a patch of blue'? it's not explained or referred to in the script. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.5.211 (talk) 06:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was disappointed in this page as there was no talk about what the plot is about. A black man becomes friend with a blind, white girl who is left alone by herself everyday. The girl is not subject to the prejudices that the sighted would have by a growing romance between a black man and a white girl. Possibly A PATCH OF BLUE refers to the girl "seeing" what life is all about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.76.128.217 (talk) 20:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

patch of blue refers to her memory of the sky and the color blue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.63.84.226 (talk) 23:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstanding

I have just corrected a problem that occurred throughout the article.

The grandfather's name is not Ole Pa. He is refered to as Ol' Pa, with Ol' being the abbreviated form of "old'. They are calling him "Old Pa" minus the "d". See [1] and [2] and [3] and [4]

Turning Selina into a Prostitute?

I just watched it, and maybe I missed it, but how was it concluded that Rose-Ann and Sadie were planning to turn Selina into a prostitute? It was clear they were planning to have a house of ill repute, but I don't think that meant pimping out Selina unless I didn't catch it.

And while I'm at it, wasn't just the object that Rose-Ann threw at here enough to blind her? I didn't think there was a chemical in there. JAlietr (talk) 14:35, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
