Persdonally, I've always had trouble accepting that Cinema is an art form! With a (realtively very) small number of exceptions, a movie is not literature, it's entertainment. Noting wrong with entertainmnt, and not to say e. can't be Art, but you take my point, I'm sure. I enjoyed the film and the songs, but I wasn't under any illusions that it was a true and accurate picture of life in (wherever it was) in the (whenever it was); anyway, I'm not an American, so I have an excuse.

I've always been very aware of my roots, thanks to my family; and as I get older I appreciate my roots all the more.
