I gather it's based on a true story and the driver's family were commenting that the relationship wasn't as the film portrays. I don't know and I'm not concerned. One day I'm sure the film will arrive on tv and , as you said it was feel good then I'll probably watch it.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-73641582953501465752019-03-08T19:05:41.378+00:002019-03-08T19:05:41.378+00:00Both.

An "entertaining" film about racism, with a "lightness of touch"? To me, the subject matter demands gritty treatment and some serious self-examination, not a pastel-hued nostalgia trip. It sounds like "Driving Miss Daisy" with the races reversed. But as I said, I haven't seen it, so I'm admittedly pre-judging.<br /><br />I love that you found an error in the author's book!

A lot of people see it as one more example of how a kindly white person "saves" a black person. But as you pointed out, it did entertain from what I've heard. <br />You keep those authors straight, Mr. P.! Seems like you could get a part time, at-home job being a geographical fact-checker for publishing houses. Obviously they need some expert help!

Your description further confirms that.

Good for you on setting the record straight! <br /><br />I almost never go to the movies to see films. It's expensive and the volume is always too high for my comfort.
