The Mountain Minor

Reviewers either raved or despised this tale of family roots in the backwoods of Kentucky. Spanning generations of musicians - farmers - blue collar workers all held together by their love of "mountain music" and kindred spirit. A good picture of depression era living and leaving to go the big city for a better living. Yes, LOTS of Bluegrass fiddling, old time songs and country ways. Very good original musical performances. Beautiful scenery. Yes, the acting was very basic and not "professional". The performers never pretended to be. If the viewer closes out the urban noise, then one can travel* into another time and space. I would guess that most of us, if we look back into our pasts and family histories we could tell similar tales. *warning: no special effects here.
