I enjoyed it so much that I’ve seen it twice in the last two days. The first time was a couple nights ago. I couldn’t sleep. So, I hit the switch and was honestly mesmerized. Last night, my wife wanted to watch it with me. So, I hit the switch and watched her become mesmerized by it.

The music. The setting. The acting. The story. I wanna go to that time and space.

And I’m still wondering what would life have been like if we’d seen that sort of representation of ourselves in film during the 40s, 50s, 60s, and so on. At the tail end and during the credits, there’s a simple homage to Diahann Carroll, Nancy Wilson, and Doris Day. Those women didn’t get their chance to really give us stories like their white counterparts did during their heyday.

I’ll probably dive in again in a week or so.
