Mr. and Mrs. Loving

I caught this movie on TV when it first debuted, but now own it on video. It is truly an excellent portrayal of the kind of life interracial MARRIED couples had to deal with during this time of heated topics of race and equality--Civil Rights. Both Timothy Hutton and Lela Rachon performed their real-life characters exquisitely. There are so many problems that arose during the late 1950s and into the 1960s, but we must also remember that there still exist racial issues that should not even be. The day every person realizes it was NOT intended by God to keep people of different color from intermixing and interacting with amongst each other, as the state court judge so hypocritically proclaimed in the face of the Lovings that day they were sentenced...someone who obviously did not know his Bible very well...will be quite a day indeed.

For the interest in learning more about interracial relationships back in the 1960s, I would recommend seeing the movie entitled "Love Field" with Michelle Pfeiffer and Dennis Haysbert. It is not based on a true story, but it does depict the attitude of our country toward black and white relationships during the civil rights movements.

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 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.

This really is one of the greatest movies there are. A movie with depth, which touches your soul. This story makes you wandering. Only a few decades ago a part of America was still living in the Middle Ages. A few people can make a change. I hope the present movies will become more like this one, but probably the movies nowadays are a reflection of our more and more superficial society. But I am an optimist.......
