Hillbilly Elegy is a great movie. We all have a past, some of us hold on for dear life and never want to let it go. Others want to leave all the bad and crazy stuff in the past and move forward. We can't forget that our past shape and mold us, but it doesn't have to define us. We all have something great in us and JD Vance wrote a great memoir that captures something deep inside some of us that either witnessed or lived in similar conditions. JD is a role model for those who strive to do better for ourselves and our future generations. Well written. Ron Howard did an amazing job. Entire cast was awesome.
