I just saw this movie on TV last week, only the ending, then I checked the TV guide and seen it was rated PG-13 I didn't no it was on video, so I rented it. Now I must buy it! Timothy Hutton and Lela Rochon really played their parts, for the loving's to take a stand when all odds are against them, is just remarkable! especially in the 60's. This movie should have been in theater's the loving's showed that interracial couples should have the right to marry each other without being harassed or put down because of their race. The judge brought up God and God showed him what was right, because look at the results of interracial couples all over the world. this movie was in the TV guide four months ago, but I'm not into movies about racism so I didn't watch it, now I am glad I've seen it.

When I saw this movie, I started thinking that we are a long way from learning that race is no big difference. That there's nothing like "He's black so he's stupid" and that it does not matter about skin color or race.
The movie takes place in America in 1960... Racism is really something that is present. But in a small town, Central Point, black and white people live among each other, kids from all races and background play together each they and nobody has anything against it. At least that was what two kids thought. They were close friends all through their childhood, and when they became older they started dating. They learn how cold the world really is, and together they start their fight for their freedom.
A wonderful movie, I really recommend it!

I saw this movie when it first aired on television around 10 years ago. Both my husband and I were drawn to it especially because we were in interracial married couple living in the south. We didn't expect it to be so personal and topical.
This movie explores love between soul mates and demonstrates that this kind of strong attraction is not so much about the outside but the deep psychic bonds that can occur between people. Timothy Hutton plays one of his best roles as the lover committed to his love. Both of them are put under extreme social pressures that only the bond between soul mates can survive.
This isn't a gushy romance movie in the tacky sense. It's a love story played out against the challenges of the political and social times that never lets you forget that hearts are involved. You'll wish you had been so lucky to experience love at this level.

I have heard for a while about MR AND MRS LOVING because of the subject and also because it stars Timothy Hutton (one of the actors of which I am trying to watch all his movies). Last January I finally saw it and I really liked it.
This is a story about a real couple, that Richard (Hutton) and Mildred Loving (Lela Rochon) that casually meet and fall in love despite he is white and she is black. They eventually marry and go to live in Virginia where interracial marriages are forbidden, and after being arrested few days after their wedding they move to Washington DC and they end up winning the case Loving v Virginia, thus making interracial marriages a usual thing.
The acting by Hutton and Lela Rochon was great, they played their roles well and I rooted for them most of the time. The story itself, while sad because it's a true one, it's also inspiring because love can overcome all obstacles (including the skin colour).
Not to be missed if you stumble upon it because it makes you think considering that these sort of things happened in the US up until few decades ago.
