Warm Springs

Synopsis

"Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Kenneth Branagh) faces personal and political crises in this biopic that begins not long after the future U.S. president is paralyzed by polio. Roosevelt endures the stigma of the disease and is moved by the plight of America's disabled. As he searches for a miracle cure, he regains his confidence as a leader with help from wife Eleanor (Cynthia Nixon) and therapist Helena (Kathy Bates)." [Netflix]
Beautiful story of two American heroes, Franklin and Eleanor, extremely well written and acted. Great speech by Eleanor about the elephant that we can't see fully without the veiws of women. Another great speech by Franklin as he is leaving Warm Springs about the unity they shared not because of class, but because of compassion and courage. I loved the cars that helped take us back to that time, and the music was very sweet.
