Review of Joe Bell

Joe Bell (2020)
Good movie of a difficult subject.

Warning: Spoilers
It was less than ten years ago that Joe Bell lost his gay son and then decided to walk from Oregon to New York. He felt he had to do it, on the way he took opportunities to speak to crowds, especially students and parents in school assemblies. His message was simple but unrefined, bullying is bad and we all need to be more accepting of those who are different.

This is based on real people and their true story. It is a good movie of a difficult subject. After seeing it, and now noticing 12.5% of the IMDb votes are "1", it makes it clear that society will never be accepting of those who are different, especially those who are not heterosexual.

My wife and I viewed it at home on Amazon streaming movies. Truly the high point for me was Brandi Carlile singing "The Joke" during the end credits.
