There was a movie that came out about 20 years ago called Mr and Mrs Loving which also dealt with the Loving story, whose interracial marriage was seen as unlawful in Virginia and the two fought to set that right, changing The Constitution.
Thought Mr and Mrs Loving was more romantic as I remember it. Loving is more fit for the present we live in, as it tells the story in a more realistic aspect. At the same time it seems to gather more of the story.
It's an interesting movie to watch as I live in an era when its not a big deal (at least legally) for two people of a different race to get married. In retrospect, this law change is not even 50 years old. That seems not so long ago when you know people who can recall a time when we could not mix the colors in holy matrimony. In that content, Loving a very emotional reminder.
Well, I guess 50 years from now seeing two men of different races getting married won't seem like a big thing either and it's movies like Loving that help us remember the struggle. We should all see this and always remember, that when we vote on other people's civil liberties, that there was a point when someone was voting on yours.
I was drawn to Joel Edgerton's transformation into Richard Loving. It's something different than what I'm use to seeing him do.
Overall, I did enjoy the movie. The Loving have a beautiful love story worth telling over and over again.
