This movie was a wonderfully told tale with star power to boot. The approach that was taken to such serious events was so perfectly childlike. The narrator is nothing but optimistic in his dictation. As is such in any big motion picture, the stars are embroiled in a wild exaggeration of life. In this movie, the exaggeration was not far from the ridiculousness of the events at this point in history. The writers' ability to place these ultimately innocent souls in a daunting situation while remaining realistic simplistic and engaging is wonderful. This film is also worth the watch to examine race relations and their effect, both small and large, on the future of America. I would urge everyone to watch this even though everyone may not like it. This movie is a great look into the past and will leave you with a great feeling of nostalgia.
