Very Cool!!!
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
When I saw the trailer for this programme I immediately told my wife. I knew it was going to be tremendous. And so it proved.Strong characters brilliantly portrayed. It did have echoes of To Kill a Mockingbird with its story line of unreasoning prejudice coupled with courage, integrity and honour.It was slow: its script and acting to be savoured like good wine or whisky. It was easy to become involved with the main characters as they found themselves facing deeply challenging issues of racial prejudice and ignorance. American TV at its very best. We missed the final part due to some confused scheduling by Channel 4.It is impossible to obtain on DVD and does not seem likely of a repeat showing in the UK.I never did find out why it was cancelled: unpopular, too sensitive a subject?
This tv-series has everything, love , friendship, family everything. It´s filmed in a warm and beautiful way and makes you feel like you´re in the 50´s. This "movie" makes me think of that song " all i have to do is dream. See it, it´s truly wonderful.
