Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words

Wow, this is a powerful and emotional story of an incredible life. This is the first movie review I have ever written but liked it so much I felt compelled to do so. I thought it would be boring but was enthralled throughout. He is a complicated man but after watching this film his life makes total sense. To see a man go from such humble beginnings to the US Supreme court makes me proud to be an American.

I am not a conservative. Nor am I a liberal. What I appreciate about this biographical look at Justice Thomas' life is that I finally get to hear his perspective. His story in his words. That was nice.

I'm not surprised to hear a lot of partisan approval of this portrayal. But that is not why I enjoyed watching this film. .

I remember watching the confirmation hearings live. I have subsequently heard a great deal about Anita Hill's perspective, but not Thomas' perspective. I now have a whole new appreciation for the man. Not because I agree with his politics, but because I at least have an appreciation of where he is coming from.

While it's sad that the court has become so polarized and partisan in recent years, I still have faith in this 3rd, and co-equal, branch of government.

I now understand how Justice Thomas can have such contempt for "liberals". I can also appreciate why liberals fear him. But until this biography appeared on PBS at 2 am, I didn't have the whole story.

From my perspective, the Thomas confirmation hearings were the pinnacle of partisan self righteousness. Hill exaggerating the impact Thomas' comments had on her life, and Thomas exaggerated the impact of her allegations. I would have respected Thomas more if he just said "Really, that's all you've got on me?" But he didn't. He played the political hand he was dealt because that is what was expected of him. Shame on both sides.

It's sad that the justices on the United States Supreme Court have degraded the stature of the court with celebrity personas, but it's not their fault. The public demands it after all. Everything good is eventually corrupted. Including me. Especially me.

The Truth exists. But we only have perspective.

Having lived through the atrocities of Justice Thomas' hearing, re-watching it played out again during the nonsensical farce of Justice Kavanaugh's hearing, you see exactly what a travesty it was for Justice Thomas.

This is our political system- seeing how wretchedly 'President Elect' Biden behaved, along with his abominations of colleagues such as Ted Kennedy, who knowingly murdered a young woman, and the rest of the sorry, good-for-nothing Democrats in the senate that convinced Anita Hill, without a shred of evidence to support such nonsense, to allege ridiculous things in the name of eliminating Justice Thomas because he didn't think the way he was 'supposed' to think, as a black man.

We have God to thank for this great justice, and his life story is a tale of bravery, belief and genius, and I'm incredibly proud of his ability to stand and proclaim what he believed to be right.

Wow, what an inspiring and incredible story. I requested at justicethomasmovie.com for this to come to a theater near me and it arrived for a week. It was still 90 minutes away and just one showing a day at noon, no signage on the theater or even on the theater it was in. But still 25 people or so showed and and boy was it just a wonderful movie to learn about a man that has been unfairly persecuted because of his political beliefs. Everyone should see this to understand his background, how he came to be the person he is, what he really thinks about the constitution and interpretation. This was a movie where every person in the theater just sat until the end of the credits really taking in the emotional ride. I really wish this receive more attention - it sure deserves it.

Desperately needed in a time in the history of this country where the Rule of Law is being tested by the liberal media and the liberal left. An important piece. We are ALL created equal. Period.
