I watched The Help on Netflix. It was a very uplifting movie about racism in the early 60s.
@ Black Dragon: I agree about Michael Jackson, though I always thought he was innocent of those bogus charges. My feeling is that he was too powerful of an influence on the general public, with positive messages that would undermine the status quo. So his credibility was destroyed.
This has happened to many influential people. One incident comes to mind—the movie Powder. Powder is a fantastic movie about an advanced individual born into our time, whose level of awareness and love is far beyond the average. But the media blasted the director as a pedophile, resulting in many people boycotting the movie. My mother wouldn't watch it even though I tried to explain how good it was. I researched the director and found that he was accused not of pedophilia, but statutory rape, when he was just over 18 and his girlfriend was 17 (or something close to that). So why was the media lying and driving people away from this movie?
In honor of Michael Jackson, his love, his influence, and his amazing talent:
