Watch: The Mountain Minor 2019 123movies, Full Movie Online – In the 1920s-1950s, millions of Appalachians left their homes in the mountains and migrated to urban Midwestern centers in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. The Mountain Minor is the story of a life-worn Charlie Abner, a generation later, as he struggles with leaving his present life and family in Ohio to return to the Kentucky mountain home and musical heritage that once defined him. The story is partially told in flashbacks to depression era Eastern Kentucky, when Charlie’s parents, Oza and Vestal Abner, face the difficult decision to leave the way of life they know and move to Ohio for employment and better opportunities. The Mountain Minor is unique in that all of its principal actors are traditional musicians – such as Smithsonian Folkways artist Elizabeth LaPrelle and acclaimed banjoist and fiddler Dan Gellert – and they perform all of the music in the film. Deeply infused with the traditional Appalachian musical genres of Old Time and Bluegrass, The Mountain Minor tells an overlooked story about the people and culture behind the resurgence of American Roots Music today and highlights artful responses to the difficult circumstances of human migration..
Plot: Life-worn Charlie struggles with leaving his present life and family in Ohio to return to his childhood Kentucky home and the music and lifestyle that once defined him. But first he must pass his musical heritage on to his grand-kids.

Hardwork & Freedom though there are few choices
A movie depicting the hardwork on a Kentucky farm mixed with the freedom to learn to play and to explore one’s feelings through music and dance.

Charlie grows up on his grandparents farm until his father finally is offered a job at GM in Dayton, Ohio. Although we know his destination, we know little of the exact location of the family farm. But that’s not important as his roots are bound in the daily chores and nightly tunes taught to him by his grandfather.

Not a spoiler as it’s depicted in the trailer, when Charlie is a grandparent, he tries to take over the homestead.

This is a touching, real story of thousands of families in a simpler time when people valued and respected family and tradition. The music is beautiful, the actors are convincing, the directing and edits happened without me thinking about who was behind it more that the reality of it.

I recommend the movie and will share it with my family and friends that will be moved by it.

Heartfelt tribute to displaced Kentuckians
Okay, the movie does move slowly – no car chases, no shootouts, no pyrotechnics. And it may be accurate to say it moves slowly even for a slow movie. And the actors are actual musicians, not actors, so this movie won’t produce any best actor awards, either. But the story does unfurl with a grace and charm that I found fascinating. It especially resonated with me, though, for a couple of reasons.

First, the story of Kentucky families moving to Ohio during the depression because there were no jobs in Kentucky is the story of my family. My grandfather had not had a full time job in ten years when he moved to Ohio in 1939 for a job with a General Motors supplier in Dayton (Moraine Products, I believe; it certainly went by that name later, although even later it morphed into Delco Moraine and then into Delphi). He found a house to rent in a small village 25 miles west of Dayton, then brought his wife and eleven children over. Grandpa stayed with GM until he retired at age 65, and went on to live almost 30 more years. Like Charlie, he was never a huge success – just another blue collar worker anonymous to all but his family – but he was able to live comfortably in Ohio until the day he passed away. Like Charlie he never stopped missing Kentucky, and up until he became unable to drive, he made many trips back. His last request to me was to take him back to Kentucky one more time – just a few months before he died. I was afraid the trip might end badly and said no, but I have long regretted my refusal.

What I also realized halfway through the movie was that I was watching it on the anniversary of my father’s death. My father hated being called a briarhopper, hated Ohio and left as soon as he could, but instead of stopping at Kentucky he moved even further south and, deciding he liked warm weather much better than snow, never returned to live in Kentucky, although he often talked about it and, like grandpa, often returned to visit.

Anyway, the movie’s portrayal of farm, of farm chores, of the importance of family, and of the economic necessity that forces some people to leave a home they truly love was all realistically conveyed. The music was a wonderful accompaniment to all that.
