Ok movie proving 2018 was not the best year in cinema.

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2019)

It was an ok movie for a weak year in movies. Good acting made this movie ok. I dont agree with a lot of the commentary about how it handled racism; and how Don Shirley was portrayed. His family did not write the film. This story developed from the writer hearing it mostly from his dad, the driver. So from that point of view the story depicted was accurate. It wasnt the important view, or the more interesting that of Don Shirley. I think that would have been a better movie.
My guess is there was some distance between Don and his family; or they would have written his story. A black man in the 50's and 60's who was a music savant; PHD in 3 subjects; and they didnt write his story? Spike Lee didnt think enough of Don's contribution not to write it??? Is it because Don has contributed more than Spike? Noone should care what Spike Lee thinks anyway.
Again I do think this story is accurate, but from the wrong perspective. It could have been a great one.....
