Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 2014 drama film written and directed by Mike Binder, starring Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer.Elliot Anderson (Costner) is the grandfather of a bi-racial little girl, Eloise (Jillian Estell). Eloise is the daughter of Elliot's own teenage daughter, who died in childbirth, and an older black man and drug addict named Reggie (Andre Holland). Elliot drinks to numb the pain of having lost both his daughter and his wife, who's just died in a car crash at the beginning of the movie. Despite this, he makes a very comfortable living, is not physically or emotionally abusive to Eloise, lives in a nice house in a safe neighborhood, and loves Eloise with all his heart.The plot kicks off when Eloise's paternal grandmother, Rowena (Spencer), files for shared custody of Eloise after the death of Elliot's wife. She then challenges Elliot for full custody because she believes him to be racist. The rest of the movie is both sides trying to come to terms with the situation and, ultimately, what situation would truly be best for Eloise in the midst of the racially-charged custody battle.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Adult Fear: Your only child, a 17-year-old girl, is involved with a 23-year-old drug addict who gets her pregnant, resulting in her Death by Childbirth and leaving you and your spouse to raise your new granddaughter. Then, several years later, that same man, who already claimed to have turned his life around, shows up at your house at night, high on crack, wielding a knife and threatening to take his daughter. He beats you up, and while you're on the ground, he slips into the house where your granddaughter is sleeping... | |

Amoral Attorney | |
| Black or White / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: Rowena's lawyer/brother Jeremiah. While he's far from the standard example of this trope, and isn't necessarily a bad person, he's still deliberately trying to force a racially-charged perspective in order to make Elliot look bad so Rowena can win the case. | |
