Tried watching Hillbilly Elegy (movie about JD Vance’s early days)yesterday. He came from a very humble background. I went on numerous mission trips in eastern Kentucky and it’s a very ooor area. We got about 2/3s the way through it. Good movie except there was way too many G D s and the F bombs. When they threw in a c**k sucker that was too much. We turned it off. I’m sure those Appalachian hillbillys probably talked like that but it was too much.

Too bad I was looking forward to watching it.

It might be a cleaner version, as neither said anything regarding those kinds of words? I'll ask.

Grandson read it when it first came out. He thinks Ron Howard the Director “ Hollywoodized it”

Glenn Close played “Mammaw” and if I had not known she was playing the part I would have never guessed it was her.

The casting and make up did amazing jobs making the actors look like the real life family.
