The so-called "one-drop rule" was enacted into American state laws in the early 20th century. The idea was that anyone with any amount of African ancestry, even just "one drop of blood," would be legally deemed to be black. Furthermore, interracial marriage was widely thought to be so bad that laws criminalizing it were in the books in 30 states until the mid-20th century and after this movie was made.
Consider what life was like for the people who were represented by the characters in this scene. In that time period, many white men were disgusted by interracial relationships. Thus, not only did mulatto people have to worry about discrimination in general because of things like the one-drop rule, but women of mixed race who were "passable" as white had to fear for their lives when dealing with white men. The movie Imitation of Life might be called a "melodrama," but it portrays an unfortunate reality of mid-20th century life. We may have come to the point where interracial relationships are no longer controversial, but no one ever thinks, let alone talks, about the real-life cases of violent altercations that occurred when bigoted men learned that their girlfriends or wives were legally black. Nowadays, people's notion of the historical controversies over interracial relationships extends no further than imagining that the racists of the past were merely disapproving.
Let's not forget the things like this that actually happened.

'Empty Arms' was a song written by Frederick Herbert and Arnold Hughes for 1939 'Arizona' -with Marlene Dietrich & James Stewart- maybe dispensable 1954 remake entitled 'Saltry'. However, once we enjoy the one minute and a half rendition performed with such grace by Susan Kohner and charmly sung by Greer one could understand the necessity of 'Saltry' to be.

Imitation of Life (1959 film)
Imitation of Life is a 1959 American romantic drama film directed by Douglas Sirk, produced by Ross Hunter and released by Universal International, starring Lana Turner and John Gavin. It was Sirk's final Hollywood film and dealt with issues of race, class and gender.
The cast also features Sandra Dee, Dan O'Herlihy, Susan Kohner, Robert Alda and Juanita Moore as Annie Johnson. Kohner and Moore received Academy Award nominations for their performances. Gospel music star Mahalia Jackson appears as a church choir soloist.
Imitation of Life is the second film adaptation of Fannie Hurst's novel of the same name; the first was released in 1934 and starred Claudette Colbert. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the Imitation of Life for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" just like the original 1934 film.
Plot
In 1947, widow Lora Meredith (Lana Turner) dreams of becoming a famous Broadway actress. Losing track of her young daughter Susie at the beach (portrayed as a child by Terry Burnham), she asks a stranger named Steve Archer (John Gavin) to help her find the girl. Susie is found and looked after by Annie Johnson (Juanita Moore), a black single mother who also has a daughter, Sarah Jane (portrayed as a child by Karin Dicker), who is about Susie's age. Sarah Jane inherited her father's fair skin and can pass for white. She does this with fierce zeal and fervor, taking advantage of her European heritage and features. In return for Annie's kindness, Lora temporarily takes in Annie and her daughter. Annie persuades Lora to let her stay and look after the household, so that the widow can pursue an acting career.

Harrowing scene from Imitation of Life
The so-called "one-drop rule" was enacted into American state laws in the early 20th century. The idea was that anyone with any amount of African ancestry, even just "one drop of blood," would be legally deemed to be black. Furthermore, interracial marriage was widely thought to be so bad that laws criminalizing it were in the books in 30 states until the mid-20th century and after this movie was made.

Jo Ann Greer - Susan Kohner's 'Empty Arms' from 'Imitation Of Life' (1959)
'Empty Arms' was a song written by Frederick Herbert and Arnold Hughes for 1939 'Arizona' -with Marlene Dietrich & James Stewart- maybe dispensable 1954 remake entitled 'Saltry'. However, once we enjoy the one minute and a half rendition performed with such grace by Susan Kohner and charmly sung by Greer one could understand the necessity of 'Saltry' to be.

I'm Not Acting
DEATH & PERFORMATIVITY IN IMITATION OF LIFE (1959) Using the methods similar to those described by Laura Mulvey in her essay βThe Possessive Spectatorβ, this two-minute film reworks footage and audio from Imitation of Life (1959) through repetition and juxtaposition, in an attempt to uncover new and/or hidden meaning in the film in relation to the connection between death and performativity. Two concepts central to Douglas Sirkβs 1959 Imitation of Life are βactingβ and βimitationβ and, in particular, what these mean in regard to performances of womanhood as depicted by the film. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, βactingβ is defined as βthe action of feigning a particular emotion, feeling, or personality trait; pretenceβ, and to βimitateβ as βto do or try to do after the manner...

The so-called "one-drop rule" was enacted into American state laws in the early 20th century. The idea was that anyone with any amount of African ancestry, even just "one drop of blood," would be legally deemed to be black. Furthermore, interracial marriage was widely thought to be so bad that laws criminalizing it were in the books in 30 states until the mid-20th century and after this movie was made.
Consider what life was like for the people who were represented by the characters in this scene. In that time period, many white men were disgusted by interracial relationships. Thus, not only did mulatto people have to worry about discrimination in general because of things like the one-drop rule, but women of mixed race who were "passable" as white had to fear for their lives when dealing with white men. The movie Imitation of Life might be called a "melodrama," but it portrays an unfortunate reality of mid-20th century life. We may have come to the point where interracial relationships are no longer controversial, but no one ever thinks, let alone talks, about the real-life cases of violent altercations that occurred when bigoted men learned that their girlfriends or wives were legally black. Nowadays, people's notion of the historical controversies over interracial relationships extends no further than imagining that the racists of the past were merely disapproving.
Let's not forget the things like this that actually happened.

http://twitter.com/#!/ManiNasry
Mani Nasry an exceptionally talented filmmaker, actor and artist with a sophisticated breadth of education, skills, experience, and professional accomplishments. He trained as an actor and director in New York with Salem Ludwig and with Donna DeMatteo for playwriting. For Mani, the decision to work in the film industry guided his academic decisions from an early age. He attended a Toronto high school renowned for excellence in the arts, and was accepted into one of the highly competitive film program at Ryerson university. It is notable that he went to Ryerson with an already well-established career in theatre, film, television and commercial work, and a range of multi-faceted achievements including producing, cinematography, casting, writing, directing, acting, and editing. On his own he added stints in New York and Los Angeles with leading acting teachers, as well as learning the grace and style of many forms of dance and athletics. With courses perceptively, he has also recognized the importance of acquiring an understanding of the business side of the industry, and the varied aspects of technology and production. There are some people clearly born to follow the path they have chosen from the start. Mani Nasry has the passion to succeed, the curiosity and ingenuity required to lead and collaborate in an industry known for its impact and appeal, and the strength of character and work ethic to immerse himself in finding and telling an unforgettable story.

February 26 - March 26, 2017
Though initially dismissed by his American contemporaries as facile βwomenβs weepies,β Sirkβs films achieved box office success and were celebrated by the vanguard of the French New Wave, who identified the subtle but searing social criticism running through their lavish stories. Shortly after the 1959 release of IMITATION OF LIFE, now considered a masterpiece, Sirk returned to his native Germany and never made another feature. His films are now widely appreciated as a rare intersection of mainstream film and high concept cinema, subversive works that were also seen by the masses.

DEATH & PERFORMATIVITY IN IMITATION OF LIFE (1959)
Using the methods similar to those described by Laura Mulvey in her essay βThe Possessive Spectatorβ, this two-minute film reworks footage and audio from Imitation of Life (1959) through repetition and juxtaposition, in an attempt to uncover new and/or hidden meaning in the film in relation to the connection between death and performativity.
Two concepts central to Douglas Sirkβs 1959 Imitation of Life are βactingβ and βimitationβ and, in particular, what these mean in regard to performances of womanhood as depicted by the film. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, βactingβ is defined as βthe action of feigning a particular emotion, feeling, or personality trait; pretenceβ, and to βimitateβ as βto do or try to do after the manner of; to follow the example of; to copy in actionβ¦to mimic, counterfeit.β All the women in the film experiment with varying degrees of performing the self, and the film continuously draws attention to these performances through both its form and narrative. The legitimacy of performance is always up for debate, categorized either as βactingβ or as βimitationβ, and the perceived levels of validity of certain forms of performativity are intrinsically tied to the race of the performers. The two female characters that are engaged in the most explicit performances of self in the film are Lora and Sarah Jane, the former embodying βactingβ and the latter βimitationβ. Moreover, throughout the film, performativity continually signals a kind of death β literally, figuratively and formally β a deadening of the self through the performance of self. The βimitationβ of βlifeβ is not life at all, but a ghostly, self-conscious replica; ultimately, in imitation there is an absence of life and, thus, a presence of death.

Imitation Of Life
Inside my imagination
There is an imitation of life
You captured me for an instant
Still in your camera and in your life
The head of a hungry pack of hounds
Will track me down
Say it's not over
Let's say a prayer
Let's turn it over
Show that we care.
Walk in the desert
Lie in the shade
We'll be together
Don't be afraid.
Say it's not over.
I'll move to the other side of town
I'll lead you to the underground
We'll live within our hollow space
We're in a dream we both embrace
And if tomorrow is undone
You'll never hear me
Say it's not over
Let's say a prayer
Let's turn it over
Show that we care.
Walk in the desert
Lie in the shade
We'll be together
Don't be afraid.
Say it's not over.
Say it's not over.
Say it's not over.
Say it's not over.
Inside my imagination
There is an imitation of life
You captured me for an instant
Still in your camera and in your life
The head of a hungry pack of hounds
