A great movie!

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 1999)

I was never interested in seeing this film before. For some reason, it just didn't appeal to me. But I rented it a few weeks ago...and now I'm really glad I did that. "Mississippi Burning" turned out to be a GREAT film! It's a powerful film. It's a film about the effects of racism in a town during the 60s. It shows how the conflicting viewpoints of some of the characters lead to devastating consequences. Yet, in a town that practiced a code of silence, the "rules" were bound to be broken. Among the highlights of this film are an absorbing story, noteworthy cinematography, and very good performances. In all, it's an extremely good movie. Surely, it's the best movie of 1988.
