Harriet (2019)
Fabulous Movie
Harriet was excellent and I highly recommend it! It had several elements in it that I really enjoyed. First, in many movies that cover the subject of American slavery, all the bad people are white and all the good people are black. This does not comport with history, much less reality, and the film has good white people and bad black people, as well as the other way around.
Second, Harriet has a deep faith in God and she depended on Him to guide her. None of today's ubiquitous anti-Christian bias here.
I have admired this woman for years. She was only 5 feet tall and probably weighed between 85 to 100 pounds, yet she was a giant of her time or any time. I would be content if I had half of her intellect and courage and a tenth of her toughness. We should all endeavor to be more like her. America wouldn't be in the mess it's in today if we had more Harriet Tubmans.
Yes there are fictional characters in the movie. I know of no film that attempts to tell a "true" story that does not take some dramatic license. But most of what we see in this movie is true and it is a wonderful tribute to one of the most remarkable women that ever lived.

Dickensian (2015)
Sublime
If you never heard of Charles Dickens or read any of his works, you would enjoy this program immensely. If you are familiar with the works of Dickens, it is nothing short of magnificent. As soon as a Dickens' character appeared, I felt like I was seeing an old friend that I haven't seen in years. I loved it!!
Dunkirk (2017)
Disappointing
I love history and was expecting a spectacular film. It was not to be. There was no character development whatsoever. You didn't get to know anyone which made it difficult to care about what was happening. The background music was so loud that you couldn't understand the dialogue. Ignore critics and save your money.
