The story of Mildred and Richard Loving could easily have become a sledgehammer epic about social injustice. Writer-director Jeff Nichols instead sticks to the facts and recounts their ordeal with a quiet subjectivity that neither exaggerates nor sanctifies. The result is a marvelously affecting demonstration of how a civilized, progressive America rights a wrong. Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton are terrific as just plain folks oppressed by an obsolete law.

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday, and that your conversations with your friends and family were both peaceful and joyous. In my experience, the tryptophan in the turkey makes everyone so sleepy that noisy arguments require too much energy.
Today, Black Friday, is the official start of the holiday shopping season. With luck you are still enjoying the warm glow of gratitude from yesterday’s holiday, and we can use these emotions to consider your holiday shopping list.
I, for one, am grateful to live in a country that defends freedom of speech. Even hate speech. I don’t like neo-Nazis or what they say (and for even more video, check out this link). However, we know who a bunch of these people are now, and we can defend ourselves https://www.splcenter.org.

For the 21st annual Hollywood cover, Annie Leibovitz captured an intimate portrait of the year’s most celebrated actors. The iconic three-panel foldout features 10 actors who had noteworthy performances over the past year: Amy Adams (Big Eyes), Channing Tatum (Foxcatcher), Reese Witherspoon (Wild), Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything), Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), David Oyelowo (Selma), Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Oscar Isaac (A Most Violent Year), and Miles Teller (Whiplash). The men wear bespoke white-tie, while the women channel Old Hollywood glamour in slinky gold and red. Taking advantage of Amy Adams’s years of dance training for the panel’s front panel, Leibovitz had Channing Tatum lift her up on his shoulder, which prompted Tatum to joke, “I’m wearing Amy Adams.” “We made the picture in the same studio where we did the first Hollywood cover,” Leibovitz, who shot the first...

It should be obvious that all of the struggles and trials of the American Civil Rights Movement didn’t just happen by the sheer power of Martin Luther King Jr.’s will, a number of players that history remembers but rarely highlights played crucial parts in constructing the right circumstances and helping to garner public support. All of that effort culminated in the Million Man March in Washington D.C. and the United States was never quite the same. PBS’s documentary The March takes a look at everything that happened in the years months and weeks leading up to that fateful happening and all of the people that played an integral part along the way. With Denzel Washington acting as narrator, The March is a stirring reminder of just how momentous an occasion that day really was and how it impacted the lives of everyone today.

PBS is airing a documentary later this month called "The March," which focuses on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic Washington D.C. march highlighted by his "I Have a Dream" speech.
At the 2013 TCA press tour, Clayborne Carson, the founding director of Stanford's Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute, who was a participant in the march 50 years ago, tells the room that he considers the march to be a game-changer, not just in regards to civil rights, but also in regards to the media coverage.
"While those of us who worked in the civil rights movement had heard about Dr. King and followed him, in terms of the overwhelming majority of the country ... most people had not heard him or seen him speak in real time," says Carson.

Beverly Hills, Calif. — Denzel Washington will narrate a PBS documentary about the 1963 March on Washington for civil rights.
The network told the Television Critics Association on Monday that the actor had just completed taping his narration for the film "The March" airing Aug. 27, a day after the 50th anniversary of the march that featured Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
The film includes march participants Clarence Jones, a King aide; Joyce Ladner, field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; and Clayborne Carson, a Stanford history professor. Roger Mudd, who anchored CBS' dawn-to-dusk coverage of the march, will share his recollections.

It starts with notes on a piano, played in the upper register, sounding like a child’s piano. We focus in on an old cigar box as a child’s voice, a girl, hums tunelessly as small hands open the box, revealing what looks like junk but is a child’s hidden treasures. The hands explore what is there, picking out a dark crayon and rubbing across a piece of paper. Letters emerge giving us the title of the film as the main theme returns, first with flute and harp and then a full orchestra. It’s a waltz, elegiac and slightly sad, evoking times past.
