This looks very good
I wonder how much longer before it'll be on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
shareIt was very good! My husband and I rented it as a DVD on Netflix and watched it, then watched it a couple of days later with a friend of ours, then we decided we had to buy it so we could watch it as often as we wanted. Shirley's family were ticked because it speaks of tension in the family, and others thought it presented the white guy as the black man's saviour, but the fact of the matter is that the white guy was given the job because he'd be able to save the black guy's bacon in the Deep South in the early '60's. Stuff would come up. And stuff did. The first time you see the difference between where the white guy gets to stay and where the black genius gets to stay, your heart breaks.
Bottom line -- we know it's a good movie when we find ourselves repeating lines from it to each other...which we did, and still do. It's a great movie, made the way they used to, only with more profanity than they used to use.
I would like to think Viggo M would choose good projects at this point in his career. I don't know his politics, but from what background I do know, he's probably progressive thinking and will choose stories that are thoughtful and don't reflect badly on him personally. By which I mean, I don't think anyone's career gets anything other than a financial boost by appearing in a fantasy or superhero movie.
shareDestinata! Thanks for giving your and your husband's opinion too.
I'm thinking of renting it to watch tonight for NYE.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and I wish you a Happy New Year! 🥂
My. This was just seven days ago. Tonight is January 7th, and you know how interesting that got. We're waiting to see what happens next.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and may we not live in interesting times! Hang in there.
I hope you did watch the movie for NYE, and that you enjoyed it. It's a real gem!
