    Josef von Sternberg's 3 silent classics
    As on of the earliest film that tackled on romance genre, this is so so well created. The fact that Bill (George Bancroft) only had one night ashore has put so much tense in this film. A brilliant direction by Sternberg, as always.

    ★★★½

    To be honest, I enjoyed this mainly because it was focused towards only one direction, the March on Washington. At some point because of the title, I was confused either it's merely a biopic relating to his life thoroughly or just renarrates about the march.
    Anyway, Colman Domingo did a very good job portrayed as Rustin, I can't doubt that. His passion and expressiveness flowing through his character seemed effortless at all. Some of the supporting characters were also good, well-casted.

    What a wonderful film, Miyazaki and Ghibli Studios were doing a great job in this. It is very colourful and visually-striking film, as always.
    Frankly, this film got me smiling almost all the time ngl. Lovable characters, delightful story and the score is undoubtedly remarkable.
    Another great feel-good film. Love it!
