New movie out, "Loving" reminds me of Corrina, Corrina
So there is a new movie about an interracial marriage coming out called 'Loving',
"Richard and Mildred Loving made history when their fight for the state of Virginia to recognize their interracial marriage made it all the way to the Supreme Court in 1967. Now, their love story is making headlines again, with a screen adaptation of their odyssey, simply titled Loving, garnering rave reviews at Cannes – and generating early Oscar buzz." (People.com)
As soon as I read that, I instantly thought of Corrina, Corrina. I adore this movie. Ray and Whoopi don't seem to be a couple you would pair together but it works. Ray's acting particularly impresses me. I also think Whoopi and Tina Majorino (Molly) are wonderful. So many little looks and gestures that add to the characters and the story. I love seeing Manny and Corrina's relationship grow, as well as Molly becoming friends with Corrina's nieces and nephew and being so sweet and innocent about racial differences, which really highlights how adults pass things on to children like prejudice. (Percy, in particular, is just the best kid ever. Love him!)
The ending was very very sweet, Molly singing a song for her grandmother, helping her through her grief as Corrina helped her. The movie was a good mix of comedy and really serious issues. It all felt very real. My mom passed away when I was younger so I thought it was very accurate dealing with grief and healing.
