Team TLC Movie Night – My choice: “The Imitation Game”
I say, “Enlightening, heartbreaking. I keep wanting to use the word unbelievable. But, unfortunately, it is believable. Horribly despicable how this man was treated. Wonderful acting.”
Thomas says, “It was good.”
Lillian sat this one out.

Extra movie night for me: “Just Mercy”
Powerful true story. My heart hurts and I’m sobbing. Not having read the book by Bryan Stevenson or knowing the story, I assumed the events of this movie were from the 60’s or 70’s. I heard a radio interview with Mr. Stevenson a couple of months ago, but I missed the timeline for the events.
I’m ashamed I did not know the horrors that were happening while I grew up and lived in the state next door, Mississippi … most likely happening there too.
When I said goodbye to the Deep South in 1989, and all my family, I knew in my heart I had to leave. I just didn’t consciously know why. Sometimes one has to shake ones world up, to wake up. Thank you Bryan Stevenson for your bravery and courage.
Please see the post I wrote on my personal blog in regards to Black Lives Matter and BIPOC …

Lovely movie with an outstanding cast. Really enjoyed it.

Extra movie night for me – “Mao’s Last Dancer”
Based on the true story of Li Cunxin, his journey from a poor childhood in rural China to becoming a world-class ballet dancer. The struggles, sacrifices, triumphs, love, and exile.
Heart breaking, inspiring, beautiful. Glad I watched it.

Lillian sat this one out.
