Very Good Movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2005)

I thought Mississippi Burning was a very well constructed movie that dealt with some very big issues.
These issues included racism, violence and segregation, all of which were very relevant to when and where the movie was set, in Mississippi in 1964.
The issues were cleverly conveyed through the characters, where viewers created certain opinions and attitudes of them from their speech, their actions, their appearance, and other characters comments and actions about them. If we had a positive attitude towards a character for instance Agent Ward we valued the issues he valued and rejected the issues he rejected and so on.
I thought the movie was very good and taught me about the situation that people were faced with in southern America in that era.
