    The first half is good, entertaining, and the structure is qualified. The movie starts to crumble from the second half. turned into a running account. The KKK, new policies, etc., are only briefly mentioned. The first half is about characters with events, and the second half is about events with characters. The director has digressed. So just talking about the script is definitely not up to the...

    Through this film, you can learn a lot about the history of slavery in the United States in the 1980s. They fought for freedom, suffrage and human rights. And all this is through the experience of a white Newton Knight and his descendants, to uncover that dark history. They set up a prison in a swamp in Jones, fighting against government forces and the Ku Klux Klan. Today’s free and open America has come this way too. The key is for someone to fight and stick to their beliefs, even if they pay...

    Although the film is a bit didactic and a bit sluggish at 139 minutes, overall, aside from the morality and righteousness, this film is better in that it deals with ugly history in a very appropriate way fact, but without the impression that it diminishes or dilutes the seriousness of historical...

    It's so fragmented that the whole movie doesn't come together. Although it revolves around Newt, it looks like a straightforward narrative of various things Newt has gone through in his life, but there is no center. The editing style is similar, using a lot of American...

    A true-life biopic, during the American Civil War, Newton, a deserter from the Confederacy, fled back to his hometown of Jones County, Mississippi, and organized black slaves and other deserters to turn this area into an independent kingdom. The military confrontation is a legendary figure in American history. The movie is a bit lengthy, but biopics, it's only a bit longer to see the...

    In the historical story of the liberation of black slaves in the United States, Matthew McConaughey still has the aura of a movie king, but the plot can be simplified a little more, and that part of the modern scene is completely unnecessary. The cutscenes are...

Man is man, man is free, the crops he grows, the fruits of his labor belong to him, and the victory of the North in the Civil War also reflects the overall will of the American people. Although the North...

Free State of Jones quotes

  • Newton Knight: It seems that we don't got no country on either side. And that's all right. I guess we're kind of our own country. That's right. And if we're honest about it, hadn't we been our own country for a long time?

  • Newton Knight: [about new voting rights law] It ain't just for us, all right? It is for everybody. Black, white, rich, poor. It's for our oppressors who don't even know what's good for 'em yet. It's for everybody who came before us who couldn't even read this ballot. It's for our children, who, Lord willin', won't have to shed blood for it like we have. And it's for their children, and their children's children.
