The Last Brickmaker in America starring Sydney Poitier is about a marriage reconciliation. We need more movies like this. Parents who split cause children to lose hope which is what happened in this movie to Danny Potter. Danny became a troublemaker, and even though his parents were involved in his life, his Dad having moved out of the family home traumatized him. It happens every day to kids whose parents "grow apart." But Mr. Cobb's gentle prodding led the parents to reconcile for the sake of their son. Imagine the happy kids all over the continent if this happened every day. Many parents go on to remarry bring stepparents into children's lives. That has not worked out well for children. Thank you, Mr. Brickmaker, for pointing out that children need the home they were born into.
