Moviecut—The Last of the Winthrops

Wowsa. I didn't know what to expect from this film. And I would NEVER have predicted how The Last Winthrop would morph from that British lineage to...well, --SPOILERS-- so you have to watch yourself. DNA vs family vs culture vs place. Or is it all of the above? Again, those #Ancestry tests pull back the veils in surprising ways. But I sort of love that the storied Winthrop lineage path leads to a very unexpected branch point. I'm trying to imagine what John Winthrop would think of this, and if he could have even imagined it. Funny twist: I am writing this from John Winthrop's settled land, his Ten Hills property area. I have a Winthrop family map of my neighborhood in my living room. I think a lot about the history and place where I live. And the weight of the legacy, mixed with the drive to make the future better. Small world, really.
