[QUOTE="Suz, post: 457964, member: 29"] I saw it this afternoon. I didn't live that life but it is a glimpse of what was going on during my childhood in a different part of the country. It is a very emotional movie- of all kinds of emotions. I was enraged through much of it and saddened by a lot of it. There are redemption parts and thank goodness, there are some pretty dang funny parts, too. I agree- I see lots of Oscar nominations, all well-deserved. I would like to think that it could change some minds of those still clinging onto discrimination but I'm smart enough to know that those who would benefit the most probably won't be the people who go see it. I didn't recognize Bryce Dallas Howard (Hilly- she's Ron Howard's "Opie" daughter)....and finally figured out who Stuart/Stewart was....the young guy who used to be on "Private Practice." You could tell that Sissy had a lot of fun with her role.I think that Viola Davis is a shoo-in for a nomination, as is the actress who played Minnie. Incredible acting from everyone. The story was very moving and will stay with me forever, I think. MWM, for a birthday movie, I'd suggest something a bit more light-hearted. I saw "Stupid, Crazy Love" a few weeks ago. It is completely different and utterly, UTTERLY delightful. I think I might go see it again tomorrow. Suz [/QUOTE]
