Glad I watched it. I thought it was well done.
Incredibly moving and inspirational. Great plot and exceptional acting.
Great movie, slavery ended at the end of the civil war, 1865, their wage in 1963 was $.97 per hour. Not a lot of progress for 98 years ,and some of the treatment received from the southern white people was a quite bad. We all can learn something from this film. 65 yer old white male.
It shoudl be called the racism.
people who use "quotes" are cool! I found this movie to be offensive.
This is a fantastic movie. This movie had me glued to my seat from beginning to the end. I am telling all my friends and family to see it!! It's a MUST SEE movie!!

A beautiful movie about unexpected friendships... LOVED it!
This is not a movie this is history. Those were the days, like it or not.
I just read the previous reviews and cannot understand why several of the viewers panned the movie by calling it a racist or superficial film that glosses over the issue of black slavery. First of all, I grew up in a black neighborhood in Kentucky in the 1950's where I saw racism and prejudice on a daily basis. This movie very accurately portrays the prejudice of white southerners in that era. In my own town, there were segregated restaurants, restrooms and every type of segregation that you could imagine. I saw how some wealthy white people treated their black employees. They did treat them like slaves. I also saw how these black people reacted to and dealt with that nonsense.
