Charming the Hearts of Men (2021)
A much needed reminder during these times
Growing up in Georgia and just graduating from high school in 1964, I appreciate a movie showing that black and white relationships were not all bad. In fact, there was close long-lasting friendships and love.
An accurate account of what life was really like in 1964. Women-of any color-had limited rights. Couldn't hold a high powered job, couldn't even get a mortgage in her name.
Women born since then have no idea of different life would be for us if that one word, hadn't been added to the Civil Rights bill. So thought it was interesting that a woman wrote, directed and even did the casting for the movie.
I was reminded that he 60s were another turbulent time-not unlike today-where once again we're faced with the challenge of standing up for what we believe in.
Kelsey Grammar and Anna Friel play their roles well-as you'd expect from experienced actors but the most engaging and memorable roles were given to the black actors -Walter, Viola and Jubilee. Loved the positive spirit of the young prostitute and hope to see more movies with all of them. The casting was perfect. Cinematography, sound and music was first class.
