1. I saw it at the beginning of the month

It was very good. I hate to say it though I would have like it better as a movie than the one man show.

2. LOL funny because I love the one man show.

:P

3. Seconded!!!

Just caught it the other night.

For those who haven't seen it/curious - it's a one-man show, filmed in front of a live audience, with video projection effectively used to evoke the past.

Written by the master of docu-drama, George Stevens, Jr. (an Academy Award and Emmy Award winner).

I loved this part:

"When I complained to Martin Luther King about his legal bills, he would remind me he was just trying to follow Henry David Thoreau's example in 'Civil Disobedience.'

And I would always have to remind him: 'Martin...Thoreau wrote 'Civil Disobedience' while he was IN JAIL."

:rofl:

4. One man shows - are my favorite.

Feels as if the person is speaking to me only. We're friends and that person is telling me their story. I love it.

My interest is now piqued and I want to read moreabout Justice Marshall.

7. Definitely worth a second

and possibly a third viewing. I tend get obsessive at times.
