A Family Thing (1996)

Earl Pilcher Jr. runs an equipment rental outfit in Arkansas, lives with his wife and kids and parents, and rarely takes off his gimme cap. His mother dies, leaving a letter explaining he's not her natural son, but the son of a Black woman who died in childbirth; plus, he has a half brother Ray, in Chicago, she wants him to visit. Earl makes the trip, initially receiving a cold welcome from Ray and Ray's son, Virgil. His birth mother's sister, Aunt T., an aged and blind matriarch, takes Earl in tow and insists that the family open up to him.

The story is thin, but the film has rich emotions and a highly constructive moral sense, showing how racial divisions crumble once people recognize their artificiality.

A Family Thing is a great movie with a great cast. It's perfect for the sociology student. Just don't go looking for it at your local Blockbuster. This is one of James Earl Jones' and Robert Duvall's best movies. Don't miss it.

This was a really good film. Not enough credit was given to it.

In this family drama, a white Southerner discovers that his family history isn't what he thought it was -- with the fact that he's half-black only one of his many surprises. A real enjoyable film. Robert Duvall (Earl Pilcher Jr.)and James Earl Jones (Ray Murdoch) are excellent as the two half brothers as well as Irma P. Hall as the loveable Aunt "T"

Interesting - great performances by Robert DuVall and James Earl Jones as half-brothers. Not the kind of movie I would re-watch but very enjoyable.
