Was a good old movie, one of the best I've seen. No cusing, no hate, no killing, what families us to be like even though grandma died. Living is dying and dying is living the cycle of life...
This movie along with many of the others on Manfocued shows the iconic role model that Cicely Tyson is for her generation. Her work is absolutely amazing to watch. I continue to develop more respect for her talents & skills as I continue to watch her work.
One of my favourite actresses Michael , loved her in Fried green tomatoes and a film based on a true story about a fantastic teacher , I find the title hard to remember but it is brilliant ;D
What a great movie! Wonderful imagery of the African American family and the experiences of the Northern A.A. and Southern A.A. So nice to see a family eating dinner together...with a father!
Pasha Durr this is how many African Americans lived in the 70s and before, we had complete male headed households, jobs and values. We were a strong community. At the time when this movie aired it was nothing impressive about it, it reflected our norms, we only appreciated it as complimentary to who we were. Only in the aftermath of the destruction of our families, communities, morals, jobs and continuity, and it is only from the onset of drugs, crime, self hatred, apathy and denial and
Being a native of the South (Matthews, NC) It's warming to know, things have changed for the better. This 🎥 depicts a story of 🏡 is where the ❤ is. Thanks 4 📫
Why don't any of these black directors, producers, and/or studio owners Choose to make movies like this one? A movie that the whole family can watch together
This is one of my favorite movies, all professional actors and highest quality. A little corny but in a good way. I wish I could find it with the scene where Trunk asks to ride to the north and waxes poetic. It's a description of the ideals and dreams we had when we made the Great Migration.
I am glad that they kept the farm. A lot of times we sale and forget how sintimental value is treasured. Wonder if they went back to Detroit to visit. Lol
There might be some hard work in rural America, but the land is so beautiful & the nights & days are so peaceful. I wonder who is pushing that swing at 1:10:33?
Hmmm the Lodge and the Church gonna take care of everything⁉️ But overall this was an excellent film! I can’t believe I never seen this before😉 thanks for sharing 💕
Easiest way: on a computer or phone, click Share under the film title, choose Facebook, then in your comment tell your friends to watch on RU-vid and click "Manfocused" for more films from this channel.

A BEAUTFUL Loving Home Feeling this movie Evokes! I know Robert Hook's son is Kevin Hooks; and does anyone know is Eric Hooks, related, who played "Highpockets"? Thank you Manfocused.👑
I can't look at Hooks without thinking of Richard Pryor. They may have been contemporaries, and since it's all in the hair style and the mustache, I'm thinking it might have been intentional.
this film is all prevelant of today. you can't visit them w/ something where staying there extended and just too much. the guy speaking about him going up norf to get more educated and not want to know what he miss.
Its what we needed then (1976)and most definitely need now (2023). Every black show is about alcohol, drugs, guns, killings, murders, raping, a lot of profanity, sex, absent fathers, multiple abuses, prostituting, etc; and we question the generations. So what if its life, doesn’t mean we have to expose. Exposing is not a solution. Why not ignore it like we do in our own backyard (neighborhood)? Making movies about it will not stop it; instead it glorifies it. Robert Hooks made good movies to calm down the fast life, but thats’s not what we wanted. We want the killings and drug movies; well, lets see what will continue to happen to our children generations. Personally, I do not watch any of them. As soon as Empire start killing, I stopped watching. As soon as Star started killing, I stopped watching. No way I am watching Power. What are we doing? Keep writing and producing these kinds of movies which encourages children - adults as if that’s the only life for them. Don’t ask why? We’re all playing a part by watching, entertaining, supporting, etc. When our neighborhoods become threatened, the schools become more unsafe and our homes becomes unsafe, don’t ask why? I’m trying to raise my children and hopefully my children children and I want their lives to be safe. We are we doing to our children?
