From the Paper:
"Two recent films feature the same black actor as star--Denzel Washington appears in both The Crimson Tide and Devil in a Blue Dress. Race is a factor in both films. It is used more subtly and less openly as a motivating force in Crimson Tide, while it is viewed as central in the historical context of 1940s Los Angeles in Devil in a Blue Dress. Both films are examples of a strong and popular film genre, the detective film in one case, the techno-thriller in the other. Devil in a Blue Dress is a detective film with a deliberately different attitude from most, while Crimson Tide hews more closely to the accepted elements of the techno-thriller while doing so in a field of more richly developed characters than is common in this sort of film. Both films make use of conceptions of race, community, and selfhood in developing characters and analyzing their behavior."More papers on "Crimson Tide" &" Devil in a Blue Dress":
