The best movie about racial prejudice in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2019)

The best thing about this movie is the characters in it. Ali portrays a classically trained jazz musician and highlights the dilemma of the highly educated and cultured Black man of his time. Viggo with weight gain and all is amazingly authentic as the good hearted hot tempered Italian American driver. There are some laugh out loud funny parts like the letter writing and fried chicken. The humorous tone and approach of the movie is what sets it apart from other race relation movies. That doesn't mean that it glosses over the discrimination at the heart of the movie. Even if you think you have seen enough of white people behaving badly in the South the incidents portrayed really cause the most righteous indignation in anyone watching. Very illuminating is the difference between the cops in the North and South.
This is the best movie of the year.
