I called my dad to brag that I saw the movie and give him spoilers. Turns out he went on Friday with my nephews (they're in college). My dad loved it and is going again this week.
My dad was born in the late 1930s so many of the things in the movie are firsthand knowledge. He also has firsthand knowledge of Black nationalist movements. He knows all about more overt racism and being so pissed off that you become extremely active, potentially bordering on extremist.
I'm going to see the movie again and get the DVD when it is released. You all hurry up and see it so we can type more details and white font spoilers. LOL.
