Rosewood

The end of Rosewood is supposed to be assertive considering the massacre that occurred in the film. Yet why is it that the movie makes it seem "okay" when Fanny Taylor gets beat by her husband for telling the lie which started the masscare. Yes she is responsible for initiating the attacks and killings of blacks in Rosewood, Florida in January of 1923. Because one of the men she cheated on her husband with beat her, she blames her attack on a black man to protect herself from explaining what happened to her husband and the members of the small town. One her husband realizes that Fanny has lied and a whole town has been killed because of it he comes home and beats her. Would the movie had of been as much powerful without this scene? Or was it needed to make the audience aware that she faced "punishment" because of her actions. I guess because it's a true story it is important to incorporate what actually happened to all of the main characters affected by the story. I just didn't like the image of the audience leaving with the image of her being beaten by her husband with a "that's what she gets" type of attitude. I know this movie was set back in the 1920's so its hard to imagine what the outcome would have been without using visuals.
