I am glad I watched a movie today, I am much more chill

How Green Was My Valley, 1941, 5 Oscars

story told by a young boy of growing up in a coal mining town in late 19th C Wales

of his family, coal mining, and his community

this is an old movie and for me so very everyday

but then thinking back to the time it describes and when it was made, pro Welsh, pro union, and anti-intolerant religion it would have been very forward thinking, even shocking to some.

and in that regard it is a very good and important movie

It also looks great, all done on sets and lots and designed for black and white,

another thing, people really did look older
