    The movie “Radio” is definitely a re-telling of the parable of the Good Samaritan because in the main story line, Radio is found, on the streets with only his mum left but Coach Jones took Radio in, knowing that he was disabled and cared for him, gave him a social life and friends. The main story point with the Good Samaritan story is that a man was brutally bashed and left to die on the streets but a Samaritan, of a completely different religion helps this man and brings him to an inn where he is cared for by the man and is paid fully by him. In the first part of the story, the man was walking down a road to Jerusalem and was brutally bashed and beaten almost to the point of death. In the first part of Radio, when he first met the football…

    “We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been — a place, half-remembered, and half- envisioned where we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power…” Radio is a dramatic and uplifting movie that is based on the true life story of James Robert Kennedy (aka Radio), a mentally retarded African-American, who spends his days pushing a shopping cart around the streets of Anderson, a sleepy town in South Carolina, collecting junk and old radios.

At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

    He grew up with his mom, Ruth, living in a neighborhood where she was seen as the strange and out-of-the ordinary one. James underwent a stage of confusion during his childhood when he noticed that he and his mom had no physical similarities. He would see mothers taking their kids to school and right away notice a resemblance. But between he and his mom, nothing. Until one day as it was expected, James’ inquisitiveness kicked in and he asked Ruth why he didn’t look like her. On page 12, “I asked Mommy why she didn’t look like the other mothers...How come you don’t look like me? She sighed and shrugged. She’d obviously been down this road many times. I do look like you. I’m your mother”. Ruth evidently didn’t want to get into details and confuse James even more than what he was, so she thought the best way to respond to his question was to give him a vague…
