I watched Lilies of the Field last night (1963) and The Omen tonight (1976).
Both good to films but The Omen hasn't aged well, or maybe it wasn't ever that good 🤷♂️
But Lilies of the Field is now one of my favourite #movies! It's enjoyable, #SidneyPoitier amazing, a good story very well told
w. so much contained within it. Multiple perspectives tell similar truths to show how different outlooks are all based in the reality of being human, and what it means to be fulfilled. A masterpiece!
Continuing the love for Harry Belafonte, I got my mind on all the famous actors and musicians and great #Black talent of his era, the 40s-70s, onto the #CivilRights era, especially the politically active outspoken leaders
Yall got recommendations for plays, movies, music, etc
The late Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier were friends for more than 70 years. They met at The American Negro Theatre when both were 20 — Poitier was a janitor and Belafonte was a stagehand. Belafonte went on to be the first Black Emmy Award winner, while Poitier became the first Black man to win a Best Actor Oscar. Here's a look back at this deep and enduring friendship.
