    Every country has its own dark history. The age-old issue of race is truly one of the bleakest pages in American history. As a Chinese, it's actually difficult to put yourself in the shoes of yourself to understand "why white people hate black people so much and even want to die" and "why don't black people unite to resist". History cannot be repeated and cannot be assumed. Based on true...

    Allen's scheduling ability is excellent, and the film relies heavily on sound. Sometimes clear to suffocating, sometimes silenced by noise. The original soundtrack successfully completed the rhythm and added fuel to the flames, which can almost make up for Parker's intoxicated face with the baton in his hand. The racial theme is unfortunate, and the white director is like Chris who broke into the black church in the robin, and it is also a sudden and discordant dream. Gene Hackman also starred...

    Based on historical facts, it was the darkest day in American judicial history, and the story of the eve of this day is particularly exciting. The film reproduces that dark history with skillful and natural techniques, contributing to an excellent audition experience. The most surprising thing is that this film records the appearance of a lot of old dramas, and even the two most impressive actors in "Full Metal Jacket", love...

    From the last movie Angel Heart I watched, I could vaguely feel the director's attention to racial issues in the United States, and this one really took the time to talk about it. To cut into this story by investigating two white people with different personalities and values, to bring out the subtle differences between white people and black people in those days, I guess William Dafoe's personality may be set to be more avant-garde, so that Kim Hackman can be used to Crash the possibility of...

    walk on, walk on. In the debate between gutter and sewer, it is not moral to treat bad people. When Francis was a young...

    After "Angel Heart", Ellen Parker made another drama with the background of apartheid in a short period of time. Foreign forces broke into closed communities and tried to break the long-standing tradition, the framework of classic stories. . The duo composed of the old fritters Hackman and the rookie Willem Dafoe came to the small town of Mississippi to investigate the disappearance of three teenagers. With "extortion of confessions by torture" and "psychological tactics", he defeated the seven...

    It is difficult for the flame of malice to be completely extinguished, but the flame of progress still retains the hope of starting a prairie fire. Whether to raise the torch of hatred or light the candle of understanding is a choice that runs through the entire history and determines this present. The film is based on real historical events, the social atmosphere and personal choices under racial division are the flesh, and the creation of a sense of horror and violence is its blood. Overall,...

    Mississippi is burning, anger is burning, pain is burning, the racial status quo in Mississippi in the 1960s, the conflict between blacks and the Ku Klux Klan. The investigation of the case is a bit of a theme, and the songs are very...

    I don't know how many more times I'll be touched by a subject like this. Although there are still some main themes in the plot, this way of matching new and old police officers is quite entertaining, and the rhythm is well grasped. The soundtrack of gospel music is really emotional, just like what the deputy mayor's wife said in the film , no one is born with hatred, but because of teaching... racial issues in the context of the civil rights movement, reflexivity is greatly...

Mississippi Burning quotes

  • Anderson: [after the altercation with Ward where Ward pulled his gun on Anderson] Do you think he would have shot me?

    Agent Bird: Oh, yes sir.

    Anderson: Ballsy little bastard, isn't he?

  • Anderson: [Anderson is in a barbershop, shaving Clinton's face with a razor blade and simultaneously interrogating him] This is tricky. They make it look so easy, don't they? I got a question for you, Clinton. You don't mind if I call you Clinton, do you? I feel like I know you so well. The way we have it, on the night of the murders... you made a short speech as the bulldozer buried the kids in the dam. How does Lester tell it? "Mississippi will be proud of you. You've struck a blow for the white man." Is that what you said, Clinton? Hm? Is that what you said? It must've been you... because Clayton Townley and Ray Stuckey, they were too smart to be there. And you was too stupid to think anybody'd remember what you had to say. But old Lester, he got a good memory.

    [Anderson groans as he accidentally cuts Clinton with the razor blade]

    Anderson: I'm sorry. I haven't done this for a long time. Did you make a speech the night that you beat up your wife, Clinton? Huh? Did ya? Did you strike a blow for the white man that night? Huh?

    [Anderson lifts Clinton out of his barber chair and thrusts his face towards a mirror]

    Anderson: You got a stupid smile. You know that, Pell?

    [Anderson pushes Clinton's face right up against the mirror]

    Anderson: Can you see it? Huh? Good!

    [Anderson pulls Pell away from the mirror and throws him up against a wall]

    Anderson: Did you smile when the bulldozer ran over the black kid's body? Did ya?

    [Anderson pulls Clinton away from the wall and walks him towards a sink filled with water. Anderson then pushes Clinton's face into the water then quickly pulls him back out]

    Anderson: Did you smile when the bodies were covered over? Did ya?

    [Anderson throws Clinton towards a wall. Clinton hits the wall and falls to the ground]

    Anderson: Get up here.

    [Anderson pulls Clinton up off the ground]

    Anderson: Come on. Get up! Did you smile that same stupid smile, huh?

    [Anderson smacks Clinton in the face]

    Anderson: Did ya? You...

    [Anderson throws Clinton towards a line of chairs, knocking them over and landing on the ground]

    Anderson: You... Did ya smile, Pell? Did ya smile? Huh? Did ya?

    [Anderson pushes Clinton onto a barber chair and holds the razor blade to his face]

    Anderson: Make no mistake about it, Deputy. I'll cut your fuckin' head off and not give a shit how it reads in the report sheet.

    [Anderson walks away, leaving Clinton lying dazed and beaten in the spinning barber chair]
