We just got back from seeing the movie. It's as good as I thought it would be. LOVED Minnie; she reminded me of my cousin, Debbie. Hubby recognized some parts of his hometown, and we hope to check out some of the locales when we go for his 40th high school reunion later this year!
I have just received a first hand account from my spouse about the book. She was quite informative about Minnie and her departing quickly before the lady of the house's husband came home . She will see the movie this Sunday with my daughter. It is nice to get your views on this. Any way things have improved vastly in these kind of situations. My spouse says it is a story about the abuse of power by one person.
Oprah has lots of white folks working for her. You will have to be patient with some of us. I will still stick to my original views however.
Free Republic great to have divergent opinions without getting upset at another opinion.
