I watched this over the weekend with my 8 year old daughter. We both enjoyed the movie. Being an African American woman, for me it did touch on a sensitive subject. But, I thought the movie was equally appropriate for my daughter and this time. Racism has always existed but, it seems as if we are having to address it more lately. Nonetheless, it was a great ice breaker to get a conversation going to educate my daughter. Hate is REAL and there are some people out there that may not like you because of your skin color.
We see so many movies about the civil rights era, but none that I can recall that is seen and told from a child's perspective. This is such a refreshing view on this very difficult topic. Great family show for adults as well as children. American Girl brought to life in such a bold way. My granddaughter is too young, at 23 months, to recognize or appreciate American Girl dolls, but you can bet your bottom dollar I will be starting a collection for her. Amazon has stepped out of the box by commissioning such a show and I think it is wonderfully done.
Wow: Amazing. Thank you Amazon. I haven't seen the other episodes yet, but I'm lost for words after watching this 1st episode, "Melody 1963." In 1960's growing up, I had an African American Mom who cherished being a Mom ... played classical music for us on our piano.... made most of our clothes herself .... involved us in ballet and tap dance, and I had a Dad who went to work everyday at 4:30 am and had been a Corporal in the Korean War. My elementary school was not very diverse, but the school principal reached out to me and encouraged me to think and dream big. However, those are not the positive images of African American life I saw on TV -- Cosby aside, nor were those the family images I could find much written about in bookstores. This appears to be an exceptional effort to embrace the positive values and morals and culture that do indeed exist within Black families, which indeed do exist in many families in America in general. Marsai Martin is so talented to be so young.
I am pleasantly surprised. This is no sugar coated feel good civil rights era film for kids, but a highly realistic historically-informed depiction of both de jure and de facto segregation. Melody's story offers a wide range of opportunities for discussing racial issues with children. From the photograph of the Tuskegee airman, to the news accounts of sit ins in the south, to the Birmingham church bombing children will be introduced to many triumphs and travails of African American history. Kudos to Amazon for making this film! It is most appropriate for slightly older children as the harsh reality of the violence of segregation and hatred is not hidden. The movie also deviates from the books, which may also disappoint some children.
I was almost two when this movie was set. It was disappointing to see how blacks were treated unequally at that time, but society hasn't made strides, but giant leaps, since that time. When I grew up, one person I admired was our minister, who marched with Martin Luther King, during this time. For the most part, growing up, I only rarely saw overt racism. So to reflect on this movie, and the people I have known, and the changes that have occurred, is very helpful. Some spoilers follow: Just like the mother in the story, we had a friend in the 90s who was a pianist. Unlike the movie, she was a retired black music teacher. She had to travel eight hours to go to college because the local college did not teach blacks. She became one of the first black teachers in the state to teach in the white schools. It was great to know her and, with our children, spend time together. In the movie, the little black girl becomes friends with a white girl. I was thinking how hard it may have been for the white girl and her parents who probably were not liked by some of any racist white neighbors. I didn't even think of this until a day later, my daughter had two best friends in school, one white and one black. We didn't have anyone question this friendship over the last two decades. In the late 90s, our kids did not have these pressures that divided races. In the early 90s, there was still some issues with interracial marriages and adoption. Nowadays, though, it is not unusual to see an interracial couple or an adopted black girl with her arms wrapped around the neck of her white mother as her mother carries her. To see where we have been and where we are now is something that should be taught to our children!
As a white child in elementary school, in the south, I lived this segregation and desegregation. I went to black neighborhood schools and then back to white neighborhood schools. I had white teachers in the black schools and I had black teachers in the white schools. Both were excellent educators. I witness several times where black people were discriminated because of their color. I was raised to be mildly disrespectful to black people. This was me until I became good friends with a black girl. She helped me to see that we are all God's children and we can all achieve and be equal in the world. This movie is a great portrayal of the struggle in the 60s and the awareness of Civil Rights and the movement that made this world a better place. Good Job, writers, producers and actors.
