Former President Donald Trump’s selection of JD Vance as his running mate has led to a surge in sales for “Hillbilly Elegy,” his best-selling memoir that came out in 2016
I’ve heard mixed reviews. I have a buddy that’s from an Appalachian family. He liked the book, but said the movie was missing a lot of intimacy that is difficult to portray in film.
I read the book years ago and thought it was really good…I still do, and the movie was decent. I always wondered how much of it was actually true. But now I know the guy sold his character and integrity for Donald Trump and that tells you everything you need to know about him.
I almost watched this movie before I realized it was JD Vance’s.
Appalachian History is super interesting and it’s actually got a good cast.
But it’s based off his auto biography, so you can’t trust anything in the movie.
