Now they tell me I have to fill up 10 lines, so here goes. Meet Mom: Gentle, loving, Christian, patient, hardworking. Meet Dad: Gentle, loving, Christian, patient in a manly way, hardworking. Meet the local Jew: As racist as any cracker in New Orleans, but she sees the light. Meet Ruby: Obedient, smart, strong, brave. Meet the new teacher: Sweet, kind, considerate, not a racist bone in her Yankee body. Meet the old teachers: Racist, dour, prim and proper. Meet the psychiatrist: Caring, racist as the day is long but Ruby teaches him better! Meet the NAACP: Light skinned and they own a piano.

jt39ev Not great cinematic art, granted, but the sweet spirit and sharp intellect of the real person Ruby Bridges comes across and the era is by and large accurately portrayed. For Disney, this is excellent. Michael Beach is quite good, as is Diana Scarwid, and Chaz Monet is wonderful in the title role. Robert Coles, M.D., played by Kevin Pollak, has written many books about children in crisis. I lived in this era. The marshals were dignified, the "cheerleaders" appalling, that little girl one of the greatest heroines who ever lived. It's worth watching.

LeRoyMarko There's probably at least a dozen movies like this one, but most are better. Ruby Bridges is a little black girl who breaks new grounds by attending an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960. The movie is not very inspiring and the acting is not very good. Skip this one.6 out of 10.
