Mississippi Burning
Today, our teacher let us view a movie called Mississippi Burning. The movie was about FBI agents investigating the deaths of 3 civil right workers in Mississippi. The movie mainly dealt with the issues of racism in South America. Honestly, I did not enjoy the movie while I was viewing it. The movie seemed kind of dull when it first started, except for a few scenes where the action took place. Also, the FBI agents seemed kind of unreasonable in the movie: at last the resorted to underhand means to force the whites in the movie to confess to their actions. This made the movie, although altogether improving the attractiveness, less realistic. Also, the blacks were too "fake", they were portrayed as some kind of "angel" who would never commit even the smallest crime. The plot was nice to enjoy, though.

I disagree that th FBI agents were unreasonable as they were forced by the circumstances of the situation as if they abide by the law and do their stuff, they will not be able to crack the case as the KKK people are only scared of pain as there are police in the KKK who would help them in the law thus I think the FBI were actually smart enough to use violent means to solve the case
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion that the blacks in the movie looked too innocent and good civilians that would never commit any crimes. They were just discriminated by the whites and some of them murdered but that doesn't mean that they are good people. However, I disagree that the FBI agents are too harsh against the KKK when they had remorselessly murdered, or lynched the blacks, and even threatened the FBI agents. With a harsh manner to deal with the KKK, they and the other whites which are racist would realize and start to fear when their acts of racism goes too far.
