Movie #1000 "Pride" is a movie that I watched because it is nominated tomorrow for a Golden Globe, and it was one I hadn't seen yet, and I'm glad I did. What a wonderful story and it really happened! There are problems with the film, for sure, like there are too many people to remember, too many names, and it's slow because it spends time getting across all of these characters, but the end is so worth it --- what an inspiring ending! The film is a tad long in the telling, too, but it is dealing with gay/HIV issues, as well, so it is well worth the time. This film is a bit controversial because of the casting (not as many Welsh people cast in the roles) and how it might be not exact on the facts, but the idea of minority groups banding together for power is one I totally endorse, and I just wish many other people would take a second look at it, as well. That's where this film could come in handy, so I recommend it.
Pride
In an unlikely alliance, striking British mineworkers draw support from a coalition of gay and lesbian activists who solicit donations to help tide over the miners' families during the 1984 standoff with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government.
