Hill v Thomas

A drama that recreate the events surrounding Clarence Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court in 1991.

President Bush had nominated Thomas to succeed the retiring Thurgood Marshall who had made history as the first black judge to the Supreme Court.

Thomas's nomination was expected to be rubber stamped by the Senate, despite his apparent inexperience to be such a senior judge.

It was nearly torpedoed by allegations of sexual harassment from Anita Hill (Kerry Washington) while he was once her supervisor.

The confirmation hearings became a media circus. Thomas described it as a 'high-tech lynching...' by white liberals.

It was actually Hill who was vilified in the process. In this drama, Republican senators banded together to fight off the allegations by hook or crook.

The Democratic senators appeared to be weak and disunited. Joe Biden (Greg Kinnear) the chair of the Senate committee seemed to be easily swayed and manipulated by the Republicans.

This was made 25 years after the event. This should had been more than a 'he said, she said' dramatisation. Maybe it should had been more contextual regarding the rampant sexism and racism that Hill had faced.

The Senate is painted as an old boys club where such type of sexual harassment was regarded as almost normal.

The events surrounding the nomination deserved more than this sapless drama. It has the structure of so many HBO true event films. A cookie cutter approach to docu dramas.

Hooked Me Right In!

I had heard a little about the story but generally speaking I was new to the details of it. As such I found it to be a completely engaging and interesting film with great performances.

Knowing how politics deteriorated even more after this was and is somewhat depressing.

If you are strong for either side of the political fence you will get frustrated by the story. For those free of politics is great!

Riveting and compelling

I love Kerry Washington as Anita Hill, I never knew the hold story thanks to this movie, I understand Professor Anita Hill and her position and the stand she took. This movie is compelling, intense, riveting. Kerry Washington was outstanding, I now see that the government will do anything to protect whom they will no bars held, this is also appallingly and despicable that we entrust these people with our US and why this country is a total mess! I am hurt and feel mentally abuse as a woman watching this powerful movie.

I also learned that at my work place as a Security Officer, I get unwanted sexual advances from people I don't even know every day. Not once do these people think how they have disrespected or hurt me in any kind of way. My co-worker's call it "trying to Holla at someone" and laugh it off ! If anyone is talking under anyone's clothes or talking sexually when its unwanted or trying to force me to have conversation when I say I'm not interested to me that's sexual harassment. This movie brought out so much pertinent information about the face of sexual harrassment.
