Just Mercy

It was overcast so as it’s cheap seat Tuesday we went to the movies after the gym.

I chose the movie “Just Mercy” based on the novel of the same name written by Bryan Stevenson.

I read the book last year when I was down here so was looking forward to it. It’s based on a true story. Scary thought that these things happen.

Here is a brief synopsis I found online.

“After graduating from Harvard, Bryan Stevenson heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or those not afforded proper representation. One of his first cases is that of Walter McMillian, who is sentenced to die in 1987 for the murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite evidence proving his innocence. In the years that follow, Stevenson encounters racism and legal and political maneuverings as he tirelessly fights for McMillian’s life.”

I enjoyed it. Well as much as one can enjoy a movie based on these atrocious events.

One problem for me was a packed theatre. And as we only got there five minutes before it started (due to my yoga class) we had to sit in the front row. Talk about nausea. Neither of us could continuously look at the screen. I can never do that again. My stomach stills feels queasy. 🤢

Earlier in the morning we went to see some condos in anticipation of next year but I’ll keep you in suspense and tell you all about those another day. 🤐

Nite y’all
