this movie is sizzling

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2007)

**MAJOR LEAGUE SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SPOILT THE MOVIE ALTHOUGH IT IS NINETEEN YEARS OLD, NOT NOT READ THIS.**In the beginning, when I taped it I thought it was boring & slow. But now I really like it. Cuz it really shows the anatomy of hate. It dosen't just show that people hate it also clues you in on WHERE it comes from, kinda. And it's also a movie that "feels real". You can "feel" some of the characters in this movie, if that makes sense.
Everybody did really great. The standout guy is the guy who played the preacher and when he gave that Disturbing "Anglo Saxon Pride" Speech. There are *TONS* of standouts parts in the movie, I'm sure some are bound to stick with you. The Interviews with the locals, especially that old white bi*** with her retarded views on certain races' hygienes, the bar where Gene Hackamn comes in and all the KKKmen stare at him disturbingly even as he jokes casually. The fact that all the patrons in the restaurant turn and stare and Gene and Will when they casually talk to the black dudes in there. And the part where the dude beats his wife up. And when the KKK guys show up out of the blue at the black church, call me corny, but I just envision something like that happening in MY church and get CH--ILLS,seriously. (yes I know I'm pathetic.) There were some corny and unbelievable parts,tho. I mean, for the most part it gives you the feel that it's really 1964. Not just a 1988 movie set in 1964. But the only exceptions is the part where the black guy kidnaps the mayor and interrogates him and threatens to cut his b*lls off if he dosen't talk. Um, not to be crass but to quote A Time To Kill: "That (black man) would be hanging by a tree with HIS b**ls in his mouth" if the white folks found about about that in those days!..ESPECIALLY in Mississiisppi! (no offense to the MS residence) And then the mayor hangs himself from all the guilt. I just can't PICTURE him doing that! That just SCREAMED UNBELIEABLE PC CORN!!! And showing the FBI as these superheroes coming down and actually giving a shyt about the blacks. Just ask the FBI LEADER Hoover, what he thought. He probably woulda said "shoove 'em!" I heard he even thought the Jew Guy Activist was a communist, so please. And the part where the black role is just a meek peasant who gets terrified by Kluckers and they just sit and sulk and preach about it....was...corny. I cared the LEAST about the black roles because of it. They were just there MAINLY to get terrorized and nothing else. It was like (think of an old silent movie): Black person rats *next scene* black persons' house gets blown up. *next scene* black family cries. *next scene* the two FBI agents get mad and THEY alone--do something. (yeah, that black agent DID something, but not a Believable something so don't even try to call me a hypocrite by pointing that out). But in spite of those drawbacks I like it anyway! You can tell cuz I wrote this *MAD* long review!
