‘Loving’ Stars Ruth Negga, Joel Edgerton On Film About Landmark Case | TODAY

[@CarlaPereira519]

Why are people so concerned about them not being American? it's amazing that Hollywood is getting out of the box and giving more attention to foreign actors, who are not that "high profile". they look like the real couple and they did a great job, can't you just appreciate that? damn...

[@leelohaskin7941]

Carla Gomes I know right?

[@kaliah209]

Leelo Haskin yes, that's what I admired the most about the movie, how much they resembles each other

[@85335tunji]

this is an american story its just a little weird that they can't get american actors

[@ifinallyfoundthebeef]

well the loving movie in 1996 has American actors playing them. but this one is better in my opinion.

[@Nah-ah]

Majuub we had an American and New Zealand actor play a real life Australian (couple)story many years ago, Meryle Streep and Sam Neil... So?

[@hanishamarshall3341]

they did a real good job in this movie. they acted just as sweet and quiet as the real couple.

[@reshon30]

Hanisha Marshall my thoughts exactly! They did a beautiful job and you would believe they were in love in the movie because of the chemistry they had. A beautiful tribute to the real Lovings

I was so suprised to hear those accents from these two. They have those American accents down.

[@thehoneyeffect]

We are brainwashed with American tv and films since birth, this is especially true in places like UK and Australia and other former British colonies so it’s not that hard for us. Americans tend to only watch Americans things so they only tend to know about themselves, sad really I suppose American globalisation is sad.

[@reshon30]

She is so beautiful. I’ve never seen any movies of hers but “ Loving”. That makes me want to see more ! They are two talented actor/actress . It’s sad to me that there were times like depicted in this movie and unfortunately although times have changed a lot of ignorance still remains. I am part of a biracial couple with children who are beautiful representations of the good in this world. I can’t imagine living back then. I surely would have been in jail for life or dead because some things you just can’t deal with! I’m glad they brought the Lovings story to the big screen. That was also what I consider TRUE love. The way they acted out their roles amazed me. Great job to the both of them!

[@poggio28]

These actors are amazing, to transform yourself to another character, well done. I cried at the end of the movie. Richard died 7 years after. This breaks my heart but at least he was able to enjoy his marriage and family without any stress . Love the actors, love the movie, love the message. Thank God for our ancestors who fought for our rights.

Margie Grover it’s a shame that racism white supremacy exists and we can’t all just appreciate all of the colours like you say... but some white people need to lose some privilege in order for that to happen.

[@KennethandJoyce]

such an inspiring love story

[@JadaFan4life]

If Hollywood ever decides to do another story on Dorothy Dandridge I hope they seriously consider Ruth Negga for the part. She's a great actress and she favors Dandridge a great deal.

[@clarissaolivares5504]

That would be ICONIC

[@JadaFan4life]

Clarissa Olivares Yes it most definitely would. Ruth Negga also said that Dorothy Dandridge and Eartha Kitt are her two style icons and she tries to channel Miss Dandridge whenever she hits the red carpet.

I just saw the movie on Starz and I was so blown away. These two actors were phenomenal.

[@yeseniahall519]

This is such a beautiful and eye opening story, I had children by a white man and I remember being looked at in grocery stores and the nasty remarks people would say to us just for being seen side by side, his father wasn’t to fond of us being together my mother wasn’t either they felt like we should stay with our own kind, but we loved each other and that love is what kept us together

[@goldenera4ever]

I guess I've been living under a rock, but I have never heard of this couple until I watched Loving today. Now I'm searching the internet and KZbin for all the information I can find. What a great story. Loved the movie and these two deserve an Oscar imo.

[@katharinee.spencerkelly843]

So grateful their story was so very well told. Thank-you very much.

[@sharonsparks900]

They’re actors, very good ones, to give that impression.

[@Littlething41]

I just watched the movie and loved it! It's so sad that the actions, laws, and mentality were and still are being justified. The fact that people of different skin color want to be together and raise a family is a beautiful testament to the human spirit. Ruth Negga is a product and example of that begin Irish and Ethiopian.

[@esmahusejnovic4239]

Thank you for telling the loving’s story , I also didn’t know much about the couple and then I saw this movie trailer and I read all the articles and watched the videos they had up there about this wonderful couple .

I love love love this movie!!!!! It is a true testament of love and that people can't give up, no matter what!! I cried like a baby when Mr.Loving died a few short years after their victory. It would've been the perfect ending to their story if they had gotten to grow old with each other but God had a different plan. I think its sweet that Mildred never remarried. You only have one true love in life.....

Yes & it's a responsibility for the living to look deep within history to uncover the fabric that creates their reality today.

[@davidgoodwin6191]

It just goes to show that, the humility of love, has serious and real power. It can really change so much. It break's my heart so much that relationships today fall apart over pretty much nothing. And here were these two up against, well everything cruel and inhuman that you can imagine. But yet they stayed together, right by each others side. 👍👍👍👊

What is it with everyone worry about whether he is an American or not? he is an amazing actor so leave him alone!

[@76carmel]

August Hippie I've also heard that Australian and British (or in Ruth Negga's case Irish/Ethiopian) actors can play Southerners very well.

[@DrMoorehen]

August Hippie yes im irish, and it is the language \ sound structure in an irish accent that makes it easy for us to talk with an american accent!

[@Nazaba09]

DrMoorehen I don't remember where I heard this but around the time of Shakespeare, apparently the English accent was very similar to the southern accent, which is why it may be easier for them.

Oh my gosh at all the butthurt comments, "Why didn't they use American actors?!" First of all, who cares?!

[@4daluvofnikki]

I saw the documentary that was done on this couple a year or two ago and now this movie. This is not the first movie about this couple though, Lela Rochon and Timothy Hutton did a movie called Mr. & Mrs. Loving. I didn't get a chance to see that one, but I did see this new movie and I loved how they showed the human side of this couple. My only complaint is that they didn't mention that there were 16 states that had laws on the book at the time and which 16 those were. I think mentioning some historical facts would help for those who didn't see the documentary nor will. I am sure you probably could find the Documentary on this couple here on KZbin or on Netflix or some of the other movie service.

[@chrisvelour3679]

I saw the film with Lela Rochon and Timothy Hutton years ago and it was very well done. My only issue was that Lela Rochon (in addition to being a talented actress) was so gorgeous that I couldn't focus as much on the film. Both films are worth seeing as the message itself is powerful and moving and the story reminds us that love conquers all.

[@thehoneyeffect]

They can just use google to do their own research about this era, this history and part of the world. It’s not hard for most people to do that, many Americans are lazy and deliberately dumbed down when it comes to their own history, it’s sad.

[@susanw1863]

Honesty I think the movie is just fine, the point of the movie was to tell the story from their ( Loving’s) PoV not the court case except that they won. Not everything should be spelled out for the viewer if they are that interested they could research the court case. I did after watching the movie.

[@patrickdean4853]

Firstly, two errors out of the mouth of the Joel. 1. Anyone with a proper education should be aware of this case. 2. It DID not change the Constitution Sadly, the real theme that should be highlighted in this case is a testimony to how, though slow, the US system actually works.

[@sammal4875]

Edgerton states that "two people changed the Constitution." The decision found Virginia law to be unconstitutional, citing the 14th amendment. Virginia law was changed, not the Constitution.

[@4daluvofnikki]

If it were only Virginia Law it would still be illegal in the other 15 states that had Miscegenation laws on the book at the time. It did change the Constitution. The Supreme Court decision changed the law in all 16 states that had those laws on the book in 1967.

[@IlGattonero13]

The Constitution itself was not changed. Instead the Supreme Court found Virginia's miscegenation laws (and therefore the similar laws of the other 15 states) to be unconstitutional, and the states were forced to repeal them. A change to the Constitution would require an amendment. Rather, the Loving case forced the highest US court to interpret the Constitution vis-a-vis miscegenation, which was determined to be illegal. Either way, this was a groundbreaking case that changed the course of US history.
