The Long Walk Home...
Its the movie i just finished watching.. It just triggered or rather you can say disturbed my mind.. first lemme give jinx of the story... Its about Montgomery boycott.. A "black" maid working for a white family.. maid decides to participate in boycott.. but she has to work to feed her children.. she continue to work by walking 9 miles daily.. Defying both Miriam's husband (from white family) and powerful white council, Miriam and Odessa (maid) put their life in danger for civil rights..
Their shared experience draw them closer as friends for lifetime. Together in the word of "Black" and "White" they found a common ground for "Work"
Its just a touching story.. every character is so powerful that you cannot ignore any of them.. this entire story is told from eyes of 9 year white child.. it shows the innocence at that age.. the helplessness sometimes even child faces... she loves her maid and mom but also she loves her dad..
Mr. Thompson is another strong racist character.. but he is not blind racist as his friends.. he knows something is wrong.. but do not have courage like his wife to stand and fight.. rather he choose to keep his wife in safe closet....
there is family of Odessa.. her elder daughter.. who take bus during boycott and face awful situation. Her brave younger son.. who tries to stand up in front of 3 elder whites... her Husband.. ways with her.. and supports her with action and without words...
Mrs Thompson.. The star character of the movie.. she faces everything.. but her pure soul finally make her stand and act helping this boycott...
And last but not least Odessa.. The expression.. the calmness.. the pride .. the humanity.. the anger.. the positiveness. .. boldness.. all in one.. hats of to such women...
This movie has so many small incidence..forming beautiful pattern. that keeps this movie way high than other similar movies...
What i believe is This movie still proves that Gandhism the "THE WAY" for any thing and every thing.. it gives weapon of strength.. the weapon than gandhism gave .. the the one everyone has.. The weapon of WILL... To follow Gandhism.. you do not need money.. You do not need power.. You do not need physical weapons.. You do not need creativity.. you do not need knowledge.. you do not need anything but you..
If you can say NO to the wrong you feel.. You become Gandhi.. Then let it be Montgomery boycott.. or Non cooperation Movement.. the power of neglected.. its power of unity... its power of Many.. its Power of ONE.. Its power of saying yes to something and power of saying "NO"
