Shenandoah. Color movies were rather new. Loved James Stewart. “He started from the bottom and went down’.
Then there’s the “You’re free” quote to the slave. I was too young to understand what that meant. A handsome, young Doug McClure marrying the daughter and then going off to war. John Wayne’s son taking a sword in the gut shocked me. Then there was the son taking a bullet by accident.

It was all sad but hopeful.

I saw “Amistad.” IIRC, the main character was the African played by Djimon Hounsou. Matthew McConoughy plays an attorney. It was like watching a legal drama.

I see no one mentioned the attempt to do an Atlas Shrugged movie. A movie the entertainment industry tried to kill and, in some ways, succeeded. The volume 1 wasn’t bad, the 2nd volume wasn’t good, the 3rd volume was downright awful.

I still applaud the attempt!

I think “The Fountainhead” is a libertarian in message film.

Amazing that the three movies were made at all.
