Review of The Long Walk Home (1990) by Marta R — 04 Apr 2012
The Montgomery Bus Boycott is the backdrop of this story of a two woman, one black and one white, Whoopi works for Cissy, and won't ride the buses because of the boycott, and Cissy secretly picks her up on certain days to bring her to work, which works out well until the husband gets wind of it, feeling she's helping out the boycott by doing that.
Of course, that doesn't help either because she ends up helping out with the boycott. What I like about this movie is the fact that Spacek took a look at things and such and decided that perhaps the way things are weren't right, and tried to right them.
Great movie, though lowkey.
